I’d have to vote for gabriela, hands down. Funny, amazing and bizarre facts. I love bizarre.
**gabs **(if you’ll forgive the familiarity, a la “Abs” in NCIS), you really ought to write a book. Or have you?

When I saw the title of this thread, gabriela is the first one who came to mind as well. I could never do what she does, I am the first to admit it. She is brave AND funny. I have a special fondness for the particularly gruesome. But not enough to view it, day after day after day. gabriela, you’re a wonder.

Either some interesting medical information, logical insight or a funny story. The one about his dad taking him for a ride in an open cockpit, doing a loop and thinking he’d thrown him out was priceless.
Goes off to find some gabriela posts…

Makes me stop in my tracks and read every time.
Now I have to go find some of gabriela’s posts - I’ve noticed her several times, and liked her, but I don’t think I’ve read enough of her, by the sounds of it. 
Anastasaeon, you’re definitely worth a mention here. And I hope everyone knows why!
Campion for telling us like it is - seriously, not many successful, and incredibly rich, litigation lawyers in L.A. would bother would Internet message boards, and then give considered and insightful advice - in excellent English!
AndyPolley - the Donald Trump of the SDMB, but without the bad haircut. Not many dopers manage to combine being a major player / hirer and firer in the entertainment industry with being a warrior poet, a bass player (who sings) and a man with possibly the most impressive list of interests as anyone I’ve ever come across - all this too, while living on Long Island.
And you guys don’t know the half of it!
Gabriela’s Man
I had to read this twice. I thought it said: Gabriela’s a Man.
I was about to shrug my shoulders, say hey, that’s cool, there’s all the more she/he can contribute to our discussions. Upon rereading it, I just feel silly. :smack:
Hm. I get no dap in this thread? Then again, I would be in such company as forensic types, medical professionals, lawyers and…Anastaseon.
I agree with everyone, by the way. I love having the medical types and lawyer types around to lend their expertise and give us good, useful things to ponder and such.
Wait until I’m ruler of the universe. I’ll make this thread yet, dammit.
waitaminit…it says “interesting” posts. i’m more of “humor” or “vapid rant”.
Gabriela, I don’t think ‘posts’ was meant as a euphemism.
Anyway, another vote for QtM - always worth reading, but I also like SentientMeat for his broad, yet incisive intellect, jjimm for his vibrant lively outlook and, well, lots of others… once you start naming favourites, it seems unfair to stop.
Heh. You posted this as I was typing my response. I now see NO reason at all why I can’t be in this discussion as well.
Well, considering the reason she was inducted was a reason that I couldn’t possibly have. Gr.
There’s always being Lord and Ruler over the Universe to look forward to.
Aww!
Klondike George!!!
Awwww!!!
I have to say whenever I read Sampiro he gives me that train wreck feeling. Like, I can’t watch this happen but I can’t look away. Do you ever find yourself thinking about his posts when you’re not on line? Needing to go back and read some more?
I will read anything by QtM or Colibri or Mangetout.
I have not had the pleasure of forming a bank of posts in memory to develop a like opinion of the most of you… but I look forward to acquiring it.
I prefer the category “Miscellaneous”. Or “Potpourri”.
Or “Mistress of the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies as well as Several Neighbouring Stars”.
But whatever you deem fitting.
Damn.
I could at least bold his name and say it correctly.
KlondikeGeoff, please accept my apologies.
In token of which:
Many years ago, there was an obese, mean, double-dealing fellow down in a very rural part of rural Tennessee, who was described to me as “the biggest Bubba around his parts”. He lived in a single-wide trailer, and had an additional trailer behind it which was filled to the top with stolen VCRs, TVs, and moonshine. How do we know this? The police inventoried it after he was murdered.
He was murdered because he began to deal drugs in a significant way in his little area, and after awhile he ran afoul of the Colombians, whom you can’t treat like they were another little Bubba in your area, to be pushed around by the biggest local Bubba. The firemen put out his burning trailer only to find two bodies within it, which were himself and his twenty-years-younger girlfriend. They were halfway to cremated, that is, burned all over on the outsides, which is referred to inelegantly by our kind of folk as “crispy critters”. The tops of their skulls had blown off, as usually happens when the body gets hot enough for the brain to generate steam. But it could still be seen that their hands were tied with wire behind their backs.
Now they were lying on a great number of bullets any of which could have gone right through them. But they were also surrounded by layers and layers of bullets in the ashes and debris, because this Bubba used to keep dozens of guns and rifles and shotguns loaded on the walls and around for convenient and handy defense and squirrel hunting, and all of them had exploded as they burned up.
So this Bubba and his girlfriend were brought in in an exceedingly charred condition for me to try to perform some kind of autopsy to determine the cause and manner of – What? Dinner’s ready? Back later, friends.
Heh. Shucks. I suppose you can have that there title.
I always find LOUNE funny, incisive, cogent, knowledgeable, possessed of an amazing memory and breadth of knowledge for one so young, off the wall, and vapid.
And kind to newbies.
Generally.
Fuck newbies.
(I’m hoping you meant the “tasteless” part of “vapid”, not the “boring” pard of it…right?..Right?)
Sampiro, no contest. But Qadgop is a good runner up.
