Five pages? Five pages?!!! This is without a doubt the longest thread I’ve ever started, Whoopee! I’d do a little Snoopy dance of joy, if I wasn’t so damn macho. Well I’m certainly glad that so many people have posted, but in retrospect, I can see how it might be a bit of a touchy subject and how some of you might be feeling a bit huffy because your names weren’t mentioned. I certainly didn’t intend for it to turn into a popularity contest, and I apologise if that’s how it’s come across. However you might all take solace in the fact that even though I started this thread, no-one has yet said that they’d like to meet _me_! yeah sure, **garius** and **Angua** have invited me to the next Londope, but it’s not really the same thing. I wanna make somebody’s list, dammit! Where’s the long line of lady dopers waiting to give me snogs? Where’s the line of guys waiting to buy me a drink and chat about cars and movies? Five pages! No-one’s mentioned me in five pages? Ah well, ya reap what ya sow, I guess! 😉 ---

Lamia, feel free to AIM me anytime. These interesting conversations aren’t going to just come out of the ether, now… Also, I’d like to meet Angua, if only because she’s named after my favorite discworld character. ---

Sounds like a plan to me 😃 \*\* Well, if I’d thought you were ever coming back, I might have mentioned you by name, instead of just as one of the “ladies who no longer appear to post, here”. And, if you two get together, and don’t invite me… > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Maureen \* > \*\* Davebear (if he ever forgives me) \*\* Hmmm. Am I supposed to be holding a grudge against you? I guess the upside of senility is that, even if you can’t forgive, you sure can forget. Thanks for reminding me, though. I’ll start hating you, again, when I have a chance. ---

Davebear; If you’ve gone and forgotten our disagreement, I’m certainly not going to be the one to remind you. I **LIKE** you, I do, and making nice is much more fun anyway. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-id-like-to-meet-but-probably-wont/179099.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-id-like-to-meet-but-probably-wont/179099.md?page=11)
