In addition to those I’ve “met” off the boards (but not irl), I would like to meet **Baker** and **BuckleberryFerry**. Oh yeah, and that really pretty chick with the major hooters. (You know who you are) ---

I’ve been noticed. ::giggles uncontrollably:: What’s funny about this is recently whilst surfing the boards I thought to myself, “You know, that **JuanitaTech** rubs me the right way. I think I like her, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve liked someone I’ve never even had a conversation with.” Looks like we have similar tastes. I’m also fairly keen on: **gobear you with the face monstro** Others who I think are peachy keen: **cisco** Hi Cisco! **Sno(oooooo??)opy Q.E.D. Davebear** Recenly became fond of: **avabeth Melandry voguevixen CanvasShoes** because they were willing to hear me out first before jumping down my back. Dear Lord, I had no idea my list was going to be that long. I had four people in mind originally, then more just came pouring in. There may be more that I just can’t think of right now. ---

Jenny. Just to meet the woman that selflessly devotes herself to this board. ---

Hey, **Miss Magic8Ball** , I’d like to meet you, too! Also all the other teenage Dopers, because I think we would all really get along. Oh, and **matt\_mcl** , because he makes me laugh. ---

I know all the _cool_ dopers! Wait, no I don’t. The following dopers I suspect I won’t meet anytime soon (b/c of distance, etc.) , but really want to (and I already know I’ve missed a bunch): **Johnny LA** **JarbabyJ** **Esprix** **Coldfire** **Auntie Em** **FCM** **CrankyAsAnOldMan** **Audrey Levins** **Manda Jo** ---

Oh my God! I made it onto one of the legendary Doper Lists! _does brief victory dance_ [sub]Er…hey…it’s not that I don’t have a life or anything…[/sub] Thank you, **OxyMoron.** I’d like to meet you too. 😉 ---

So many surprises in one post! **Meanie** _giggles!_ :eek: And, you picked _me!_ Careful, girl. I _am_ a man, you know. But, oddly enough, you were on my list, when I came into this thread. Another surprise. 😛 And, I’m honored to be included in a list that also includes **Q.E.D.**. I agree, he’s one of the guys I’d like to meet. Although, I suspect he might be too hyper to sit down and have a conversation. He’d probably be twitching to get back to GQ. 😉 Other guys I think would be interesting to meet; **Flybynight //\etalHead (or however he does that) Urban Ranger Garius** Among the ladies, well, there are so many, and I hate to leave anyone out, but to keep the list short, I’d also like to meet **CanvasShoes**. And, play NIN’s _Closer to God_ for her. 😃 And, in no particular order (mostly); **Searching For Truth Kungfu Lola Kalhoun TVeblen Audrey Levins** (Now you’ve made the list twice!) \*\* Goo\*\* Plus a handful of ladies who no longer seem to visit the board. ---

Wow, I’m absolutely staggered at how big this thread got and how quickly! So many new names have been suggested in people’s lists that I can’t keep track. Let’s just say that there are way more of you wonderful people than I could ever hope to meet. If some of you non-UK Dopers could ever make it to a UK Dopefest, then I promise to make it too. **Angua** - My favorite Pratchett novel has to be a toss-up between any of the Guards ones and possibly “Mort”. Oh, and any loud girl who’s willing to show off her nice underwear is okay in my book! Tell me more and I’ll send you a beer. Failing that, I could always ask **Garius** to dish the dirt…😉 ---

Meeting FCM is like going to a really good Broadway show, once just ain’t enough) swampbear Rue, of course. Lissla Ellen Cherry Wintermute Aww dammit. I’m not doing this. I’m bound to offend someone.

**Biblovore** , glad to see you have good taste (regarding Pratchett novels) 🙂 I’d have to go with Guards! Guards! or indeed any of the other guards ones. Oh, and the underwear thing? [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180157&highlight=BrumDope) for the details, and [Tir’s webpage](http://www.kat22.com/brumdope/piccies.htm) for some of the photographic evidence. 🙂 Thought I’d beest get in with this before **Garius** tries to defame me 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-id-like-to-meet-but-probably-wont/179099.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dopers-id-like-to-meet-but-probably-wont/179099.md?page=4)
