For me, there’s no “probably won’t” when it comes to someone I’d like to meet. We’ve met so many Dopers already, and I’m sure we’ll meet so many more, that it should about cover it.

Oh, most definitely something stronger. 😉 I’ve got some port and some vodka here…

I want to meet everyone who wants to meet me and everyone who actively wishes to avoid me.

I wanna meet every black doper so’s we can get our monolithic culture shit together and stop disagreeing with each other.

I wanna meet every gay and lesbian doper so’s they can tell me all about their agenda in person and in deep detail.

I wanna meet all the liberal dopers so’s they can show me their bleeding hearts.

I wanna meet all the conservative dopers so’s they can show me their black and uncaring hearts.

But mostly I wanna meet all the painter-type dopers 'cause I think this brush I have is waaay too broad.

I am surprised that I got mentioned. I’ve already met a bunch of CanDopers (and **Eonwe** and **andygirl** ), and they were all very nice to me and ignored that I was pretty quiet and stuff. And forgave me for trying to teach them to dance- that was nice, too.

I think there are too many that I’d like to meet. A short, incomplete list:

Everyone from the **Rue** threads, except maybe **Exgineer** , because he might try to kidnap me or something, and then Mr. Lissar would have to kill him. It would be messy.  
**Guin, Siege, Polycarp, Osgie, bodypoet, lno, Scylla, Zenster, mademoiselle, Zyada, HennaDancer, interface2x…**

:rolleyes:  
Choose your truth from the multiple choices below:

A. I scrolled through this thread quickly and didn’t see your name at first.

B. I had a technical glitch.

C. I had a blackout.

D. It was the Suliban.

E. It’s all in your mind.

F. Who knows?

G. What did you say your name was?

Bah. I included “I want the truth” just so you could respond with “You can’t handle the truth!” and I get _nothin’_. One too many margaritas tonight? 😛

One of my favoritest movies evah.

“I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn’t screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I’d never see. I wanted to breathe smoke.”

I’ve got the tape but crave the DVD.

“Shatner. I’d fight William Shatner.”

“Have you ever heard a death rattle?”

“This is the _best_ soap.”

I bought the special edition 2 Disc DVD first thing after buying my DVD player.

I don’t even own any of the Trek DVDs.

I want to meet **Tyler Durden**

Also, if **Miller** ’s half as funny in person… yeah, he cracks me up. Plus, I’d like to meet almost all of the other dopers. 🙂

I’d like to hang out with Lamia sometime. I think we’d have a lot of fun conversation.

Polycarp, chique, and Eve also come to mind. I think that Eve would have fun being all appalled at my slouching or something; people who dress like me aren’t supposed to like Garbo so much.
