:smack: That’ll teach me to try and post and fit a galaxy spectrum at the same time.
How enormously kind of you, Ianzin 
Not sure why, but I get the vibe that you’re just the kind of big, lovely, hairy, dependable sort of guy a gal could get along with just fine!
maybe she was playing Ponder to your Ridcully.
god knows what that makes me 
[sub]and for the record i’m torn between “Jingo” and “Nightwatch” for my favourite[/sub]
That’s very very likely. Considering Ponder’s far more intelligent, has more charm, and is generally a a nicer person.
The Librarian?
Night Watch is another brilliant one. I thought Thief of Time was quite good as well…
I’d have to agree with that one, too! But seeing as “I’m” also in Night Watch…
But as for you and garius, I just get worried when he posts a long comment about wanting to follow your bush… Alright, your burning bush. But still…
I doubt that. But, you are talking to a movie and history buff who happens to be a programmer, and finds British drinking culture strange enough to be interesting. So, maybe I’m equally dull. Besides, I’d just like to shake your hand for making me laugh, so often.
Oh, and I’m also a diehard Pratchett fan. But, I can’t say that I have a favorite novel. So many really good ones! But, I think Cohen may be my favorite character.
nah - the librarian is far wittier and more loveable than i will ever be.
I’d kill to be Vetinari though
oh and Bibliovore, i take it you are joining us at LonDope in August?
Vicous, ruthless, but with a twisted sense of humour? Yeah, that’s you down to a “t” I think 
And Vetinari is a trained assassin.
Davebear - yay! Another one. Soon there will be enough of us to take over the world! Bwahahaha!
Now, anyone want to hide me from my tutee, who’s due here in 15 mins? The rude, arrogant one.
Quick! Hide in this large trunk! evil grin
Sigh
I admit it. I’m great.
Angua runs my fanclub if you want to join. She’ll be able to tell you more about it, but i think it’s still £24.50 a year.
You get a badge, a membership card (which entitles you to to discounts at several major shopping chains) and four issues of GariNews a year.
Sounds good to me! Looks like I missed that thread, though, so just let me know when and where. Er, and should I wear nice underwear? Can I still come if I don’t drink? I promise not to take blackmail photos of you all once you I have you at a disadvantage…
Do I? ::looks around confused::
Oh, yes of course. And Garius runs mine. not that there’s anyone interested in joining :(.
Oh, Garius - you owe me back pay for my services then - I believe the going rate is £22/hour.
Davebear - I didn’t hide quickly enough. And he brought a friend. :sulk: I hate teaching and not being paid for.
Bibliovore - bring clean underwear, you can take my place, seeing as I might not be able to make it after all 
i forget what the thread on it was called - August Londope i think.
I’d search for it myself for you but i’m a lazy git.
and no Angua?!
not sure whether i want to go anymore. I won’t be able to carry out my now revealed (damn you Lu Tze!) plot to make her mine.
Bibliovore non-drinkers are welcome. Be warned that you will therefore have to play the part of the “sensible one” though…
Garius, I’ve linked to it above - in my 1:49 post. Sorry, its my cousin’s wedding that weekend - on the Sunday. My uncle’s told me in no uncertain terms that I have to keep the whole week free…
There there. Its all going to be ok. You’ll still be able to hear me. Besides, I think the Garigirl would probably object to your plot.
Alice_in_Wonderland, Featherlou ** and DreadPirateJimbo** 'cause they seem to all be cool, and heck, they’re Albertans so they’ve got to be good people.
GingeroftheNorth - Just because I have to find out what exactly a numpty is, and I think I’ve gotta meet her in person to accomplish that!
Bad News Baboon - 'cause she sent me good stuff!
Persephone and Sue Dunhym - Just 'cause they seem cool.
Johnny LA - Anyone that is a helicopter pilot, drives a Cherokee and Porsche and is into bikes is a pretty cool and a good shit in my book. Heck, he’s like me (Except for, you know, the pilot and Porsche stuff, and well, maybe being cool too…)
I would like to meet most of the mods too, but I’m not going to hold my breath.
Hmmm, well if Angua isn’t coming, then I’m not sure it’s worth it…although I might be convinced if Tir promises to be there (I’ve just so many questions…)
However, if I’m going be lumped into the role of the “sensible one”, I expect a snog from all the Doper women, and an official "Sensible one " hat - preferably blue.
Tir’s far nicer and far better company than me anyway. Besides, as those UKDopers who’ve met me already will testify, even if you can’t see me, you’ll still be able to hear me.
I’m sure that can be arranged. Would you mind if the “sensible doper” hat made you look like an American tourist though?
I started to post this last night, but my computer crashed. This is the short version. MAD Dopers and New York City/Jersey Dopers, you’re out because I plan on visiting your cities some day. British Dopers, you’re out because I plan on visiting my relatives some day and I know full well I’d better stop in and see Kal and Washte while I’m at it. Besides, who’d miss a chance to meet Steve Wright and Glee? Broomstick, as far as I’m concerned, I owe you a cup of tea and you owe me a flight, and I intend to collect one of these years!
So, on to Dopers I’m not sure I will get to meet. I know I’ll think of a dozen names once I’ve logged off, but here goes:
Ice Wolf
Kambuckta
Scotticher
Johnny L.A.
The Bad Astronomer
Qadgop the Mercotan
Libertarian
Esprix
Osip
Fairy Chat Mom
Crazy Cat Lady
Eutychus
Lynn Bodoni
Tuba Diva
Coldfire
Heloise
Diogenes the Cynic
His4Ever
Priam
Lainaf
XJETGIRLX
Jjimm
and others whose names I’ll think of on the way to work. By the way, Polycarp is another person I plan on meeting, probably in D.C.
XJETGIRLX got it right, by the way. I did change my handle from cjhoworth to Seige. Thanks for the compliment! :o

See what I mean – as soon as this post appeared a name appeared that I meant to add to my list: Audrey Levins.
All that, and I forget my closer. Good Dopers, I’m surprised none of you have mentioned wanting to meet the ultimate poster of us all, the Zen Master, the Jedi of Fighting Ignorance Himself (despite his appallingly low post count): Cecil Adams.
