Dopers in Unexpected Places

[Flander]

@brewha

As a matter of fact, yes it has happened to me. I was waiting in line and I overheard part of a conversation between the couple in front of me. It sounded like they said a doper’s name. I’m not sure if I remember it correctly since it was a doper with a gibberish sounding name - like Bambi Hasenpfeffer - if that is a doper name.

@Bambi Hassenpfeffer

So close

No one ever mentions me anywhere, so I’m a little honored that you remembered my name well enough to think you overheard it.

HA! I meant to respond to brewha’s post verifying the validity of the doper, but low and behold, Bambi posted. I’m proud to say I met Bamby many moons ago at a GA dopefest at Red Top Mountain along with my friend (and sadly, former doper) OhFace. Had a great time and was surely worth the drive!

This morning I saw tdn on the subway. Specifically, some vandal had scratched the letters tdn into the window on the subway, but when I saw it I immediately began looking around as if it were a sign that a doper was riding the train with me. Then it dawned on me that tdn probably doesn’t live in NYC and ride the same subway that I do, and even if he did he wouldn’t vandalize a subway car (I presume) and that even if for some reason he did vandalize the subway he was probably long gone before I got on the train.

I’m in New York! Which subway was it?

Ever read the ingredients list on the back of snack foods? You’ll often see me there.

I had been reading a GD thread in my office, a couple hours later I overheard a customer saying somethign that was an exact quote from the thread…

I caught her eye and said…“we’re gonna need a cite for that”

She turned out to be a regular lurker, dunno if she ever signed up.

Twentyish years ago I was a tuba player. In eight years of performances, competitions, studying other concerts, college auditions etc. I only met one other lady tuba player, a nice girl I went to U of E with.

When I first discovered SD and then SDMB I couldn’t help but wonder if TUBADIVA was this same lady.

However a couple of years ago TUBADIVA e-mailed me in response to a Weird Earl nomination and had a different name so I didn’t have to ask, not her.

Still, when I see that name and read the posts the other girl’s face comes to mind.

I play the card game “Hearts” online.

One of the players is Cecil Adams…no it isn’t Him

I actually thought you might be sitting behind me in a movie theater once – luckily I realized the couple was discussing the label on the Raisinettes before I turned around and made a fool of myself.

There is a licence plate from Virginia I’ve seen around here which always gives me pause. It reads TANSU. I know Tansu’s not around anymore, and doesn’t even live around here, but still.

You also have your own cartoon show, too.

Not in the UK to the utter outrage to most of the population

In hopes of planting a seed, two words: Ursus maritimus.

Hmpf! I was hoping to come in here to see that someone had seen me…

I always figure most women see litoris regularly, while most men just want to see litoris. Guess I was wrong.

[chowder]

I’ve seen you many times, also your friends and relatives

I worked in a deli, and I always cracked up when I looked up at the box of saltines labeled “Krispy Original.”

Oh, I thought of another one! One of the agents that works with our company is listed in our directory as C. Kilvert and I always wonder if it is Kilvert’s Pagan.

Something I’ve always wondered about: does Kilvert collect other denominations? somewhere, is there a Kilvert’s Roman Catholic? Kilvert’s Plymouth Brethren? Kilvert’s Buddhist? Kilvert’s Anti-Disestablishmentarian?
