Calm down, I just got here! **jinwicked** –I own a coaster with her artwork on it, and maybe I could get her autograph? **celestina, Manatee, pseudotriton ruber ruber (we’re all teachers); and Kn\*ckers, NoClueBoy, tarragon918, Aesiron, Linus Van Pelt–and our gang in the ENT threads** ---

I’ve pointed out numerous times that I would like to meet **jinwicked** , but she barely even acknowledges my existence. And if you’re over in the corner with her feeling sorry for yourself, then I’ll get to meet you too. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by garius \* > \*\*oh you talk BIG American.

But then I’m a poor penniless academic. Besides, we know that we’d whoop their backsides in the really important things - like decent beer drinking. 😃 But meeting the US Dopers would be very very cool. Hmmm… I wonder if I can get my supervisor to send me to a conference in the States? That way, not only could I meet some of the US Dopers, but my department would pay for it. 😉 ---

Considering what a newbie I still am, I hadn’t even bothered to open this thread. Then I read **Lobsang’s** Vanity Search thread and, of course, had to do a search on my name. (not something I routinely do). So imagine my joy and surprise to find not one, not two, but _three_ of my favorite Dopers wanted to meet me, too! I feel so loved! Of course, I would love to meet all the Dopers, I think that goes without saying. The best thing would be for us to have one massive, world wide Dopefest, so everyone could meet everyone. Barring that, however, I would love to be face to face with any or all of the following (not in any sort of order, just off the top of my head): [ul] [li] **Welby** , who does a great Rue impression[/li][li] **Swampbear** who has angels in his pants[/li][li] **Slortar** , my Nemesis ™. For obvious reasons[/li][li] **Rue deDay** Mondays wouldn’t be the same without him[/li][li] **Kn\*ckers** I’d love to find out what that asterisk stands for[/li][li] **Exgineer** Manly, yes, but still sensitive enough to write poetry. _Bad_ poetry, but still… ;)[/li][li] **FairyChatMom** The coolest mom on the block[/li][li] **Eve** the Grande Dame of the boards[/li][/ul] This is just a tiny sample. There’s too many to list, really. ---
