Correct on all points although now I wonder how often I blab about things non-Trek. I’m always surprised to find out people know other aspects of my personality considering that’s about all I post about.

Bear\_Nenno is skilled at setting up alcohol IVs and posting pictures I return to over and over again…in simple disbelief. He is also the author of the most unbelievable wedding anecdote I’ve ever heard (bucket of dirty Gatorade).

Looks like I’ve escaped any notice, too.

I’m awful with names, but I do know **Lobsang** starts weird threads that always make my head throb - not because they’re bad, but because they always make me say, “Hunh. I never thought of that!” **ShirleyUjest** has the same real-life first name as my mother and likes books. **Dinsdale** and **dropzone** both live fairly close to me and **Dinsdale** gardens. **Hardygrrl** lives in my neighborhood but I never run into her anywhere. **AngelOfTheLord** is a college student and interested in public school reform.

Don’t tell my wife, who is convinced that I’m male, straight, a Cowboys fan, and utterly indifferent to Brett Favre.

**LifeOnWry** is an enhanced marsupial, living in a modified split level, who excells at fortune telling (having done readings for scores of Dopers). She works in real estate and inexplicably hates the letter **N**.

Yep, just like high school. I don’t fit in with the party crowd, and I don’t fit in with the kitchen crowd either.

Maybe I should post more…

> I remember a couple of things that haven’t been mentioned yet: You have a son and daughter. You threw up in church while you were pregnant with one of them, and it got in someone’s hair. You have an eight? year old dog that you considered sending to daycare. You and your husband combined parts of your fathers’s names to make a new name for your son.

The sound you hear is applause. Well remembered. (The dog is older now, and he isn’t in daycare. Funny how I’d consider it for my dog but never for my kids!)

I’m just giggling because I obviously defy categorization, as I am black, conservative, contentious (some might say bitchy) and fulfill other less-than-usual board demographic groupings, but no one ever seems to remember. 😃 I guess I haven’t even been invited to the party.

Damn!!! I really screwed the pooch on that one didn’t I. I wonder who I have you mixed up with, maybe **jarbabyj**

**minty green** Is a lawyer, and if I remember correctly you did a brief for the Supremes.

Since I’m here:

**Pepperland Girl** is a Broncoes Fan, and I believe she does karate or something.

**Shibboleth** is really into football, but I don’t remember which team he favors.

Not so fast, there, HomeOfTheBraves. You are stand five-foot-five and a half and wear a 6.5 wide shoe. You are a Florida educator, a woman, you’re married, and you will be voting Kerry this fall.

Humph! _WELL_ , it’s nice to be _NOTICED!_

At least I guess it would be… ☹

Anyway,

**Flamsterette** is involved with AWASA and is a lot quieter in person. She’s good at birthdays.

**rjk** got roped in by a Texan, **Zyada**. He lives near my church. He recently had a booksale and hardly anyone came. He’s a Red Dwarf freak.

**Scotticher** reads Lillian Jackson Braun books. She lives in the same town as my boss’s friend, has the same name and looks a lot like her!

**Eve** is my idol. She knows more about the dawn of filmaking than I ever will. She may be the only other Doper who could tell you who Fred Ott was. (Right **Eve**?)

**Esprix** briefly owned a scorpian named Eduardo.

**harmless** can wage a mean poetry war! Hey, Ho, you go! 😉  
No one knows anything about me.

(Shameless bid for attention - I should be head Ho, dammit!)
