I was just teasing. You’re talking about the discussion in Natalia’s “satisfying a man” thread, right? There was nothing there to forgive. 🙂

Oh, and thank you, for putting me on your list.

All of which might be arranged if I knew where the heck you were! Mmmmm… tea…

The one Doper I’ve met in real life turned out to be a real cool frood who knows where _all_ his towels are. Sure, he married a Canadian and his daughter is obsessed with butterflies… but they’re very cool people. Just… different. In a nice way. Mrs. Doper stop glaring at me like that, I _like_ Canadians, I really do, no I didn’t mean anything by that just kidding - ow! ow! ow!

There are a lots of Dopers I’d like to meet, but aside from **Siege** , the top two are **Johnny L.A.** (the distance is a bit of a problem) and **Qadgop the Mercotan** (but not in his professional capacity at work)

All of the well known posters have had their egos stroked here- I guess I’d like to meet some of those who aren’t in “The Clique”. You know, those people that post witty, clever, profound, and/or just plain funny things but never get responses just because they aren’t one of The Chosen.

Thanks, MSU 1978, I’d like to meet you, too. I’m stroke-less, but I guess that’s to be expected since I only post when I really feel like saying something, and even then it’s usually nothing very heavy. Having said that, I will put down my list for those who haven’t been stroked enough yet:

jinwicked (you probably needn’t ask why)  
matt\_mcl (though we’re on different teams, I bet he’s a lot of fun to hang out with)  
esprx (see above)  
qagdop the mercotan (always a joy to see and read a post from qagdop)  
Coldfire (see above)  
Cervaise (see above x 2)  
Polycarp (I know he’s local, I just have neve been able to get to a Raleigh Dopefest)  
Qazzz (cuz though I’m not HOT by any means, I am fairly intelligent and do enjoy mad sex!)  
Bibliovore (seeing this name more and more lately, including the OP, of course, and sounds like a cool person)  
Any posters that listen to industrial music, do graphic design, live in North Carolina or Florida, or post sordid details about their personal sex lives on the SDMB)  
Anybody else. I’m sure we’d all have fun.

Cuz they’re just so damn smart!

**Anthracite**  
**Jodi**  
**Sam Stone**  
**Truth Seeker**  
**Dewey Cheatum Undhowe**  
**Bricker**

Cuz I expect reasoned answers from’em representative of the “Dark side” (aka liberals 😉 ) that make me go “Hmmm… you have a point”.

**SuaSponte**  
**Xenophon**  
**RTFirefly**  
**wring**

Cuz they’re supremely entertaining/witty/cool:

**Miller**  
**Scylla**  
**Sauron**

Consider yourself stroked, Sigmundex. (and I don’t mean anything dirty). You’d probably think I was dull cause I don’t listen to industrial music, do graphic design, and you certainly aren’t going to hear sordid sex details from me (though we have been known to disturb the neighbors).

minty green for standing up to the gun lobby.

cranky as an old man, but only after a Michigan humiliation to MSU.

Hmmmmm? You say you’d like to meet someone, but then you specify a date that is likely to occur ten or fifteen years after you’ve both died?

Oh come on, Tom. Remember who stopped the Buckeyes from winning the national title in football a few years ago? Got a new coach (again!), this time someone with a little experience. Another year, and we’re still unbeaten so far this season. Bring on the Wolverines! Bring on the Nittany Lions!

Eee! I got mentioned! Yay! Even though I haven’t been posting practically at all lately. Where’ve I been? Rochester, NY, hawking overpriced popcorn to the movie-going masses. Living with a friend for the summer and don’t have 'net access on my own computer, so while I do my best to visit and read some threads every day, I rarely have the opportunity for my previous level of SDMB activity. But I’m still around, reading, and doing the occasional vanity search. 😃

For the record, I’d like to meet lots of people. All of you. Especially the young, single, cute males. 😉 Seriously, though, I’m dying for a Dopefest near me.

yeah… well… right.

I don’t know why I read these damn “cool doper” threads with hope in my heart… I **KNOW** what a bastard I am!

I’d like, first to all, to thank you all for the number of times I’ve been mentioned here.

Secondly, I’d like to invite all the ideologes (you know who you are) to come over to my house.

I will have laid out the golf clubs, the lawn mover, the butcher knives, the hedge clippers, and anything that can be used as a weapon.

I will sit back with a gin-and-tonic, and wait for the sparks to fly.

In that case, now that someone actually wants to meet me I take it all back. The rest of you unmentionable losers are on your own.

So, did you wanna meet me, or did you just want to stuff me in a handbasket and send me to a hot place? 😉
