: blush : I can’t believe anyone around here really remembers me. It’s been awhile since I’ve been ‘active’, although I’m still here from time to time (par example: see how long it took me to find this post and reply to it?)

Just to update your files though, I’m no longer married. **Shaolinrabbit** (formerly Copaesthetic) and I split almost a year ago, although we’re still amicable and see each other frequently. He’s no longer in the funeral business either. I’m working for a lobbying company and really need to get back to my art.

As for people I keep tabs with, most of them are on LJ now, but a couple people off the top of my head that I haven’t heard from in awhile:

**garius** is a handsome and affable bloke across the pond. He is also my superhero sidekick.

**Breezy** used to bump into me in just about every thread, and at one point she was looking for online universities to attend. I hope she managed to find one that suited her needs!

More things I’ve taken notes on:  
If you’re eating subs with **FaerieBeth** , she’ll steal your pickle before you have a chance to eat it. **FaerieBeth** knows better than to steal my pickle.

**Trunk** thinks that there are no good places in Baltimore to get really good subs, but this is not true. He just doesn’t know where to go.

If **swampbear** wasn’t gay, he’d marry me. He already promised to marry **Kallessa** , but apparently he can be won over with beer and brownies.

**welby** and I are on **Exgineer’s** “List.” This is not a Good Thing. I’d like to get off The List, but don’t know how.

In real life or on the boards? If in real life, how old are you? Just curious, you don’t have to answer if you don’t want.

Are you serious? I’ve known some people with some pretty hardwired hangups but it’s hard to imagine not even being able to look at yourself naked (sorry, don’t take that the wrong way please. I’m just curious, not judging.) Are you really going to start a thread about this? I’m interested.

You really don’t reveal very much about yourself here other than gay stuff. What have you revealed that isn’t in your profile?

You did post in my “Attention Ho” thread, which I appreciate.

By the time I finish my list, everyone will have all ready been posted. ☹  
Here’s what I got so far.  
And before anyone gets hurt feelings, it’s not done!  
Those not on the first half of the list will get tummy rubs to make up for it. 😃

**torie** is newly single & tattooed! Brat  
**OneYogini** - wears a tinee-weenee-bikini – cat runs in terror upon nudity

\*\*Really Not All That Bright \*\* – formerly known as Dutchboy? I think? Maybe something about drinking paint? 😕 Brat

Okay, okay, just for you CandidGamera:  
**Draelin** and **FaerieBeth** have met IRL, more than once, in a capacity that has nothing to do with SDMB. We’ve been to a theme park in the South, a restaurant in NYC, and we are in no way related by blood or marriage. We didn’t grow up in the same state. We’ve never attended a school together, or a summer camp. We’ve known each other for…:: counts::…almost 7 years.

We were charter members of an ultra-exclusive, semi-secret club whose membership includes women from all over the US, Canada, and one or two in the UK. 😛 And, now that I think about it…the initiation for said club involves…OMG! :: snicker:: …an object similar to the one that’s recently been the talk of MPSIMS.

I worked with infauna. Haven’t touched much of it since I finished my master’s and now I’m a teacher. I also lead whalewatching trips and do marine mammal rescue in my off-hours.

I have **never** been so insulted in all my life!

Editor.

While I may have lowered myself to reporting in the past I am a money-man, in truth. I’m the guy who makes sure the profits keep rolling in.

And it’s Lady Chance who’s the belcher.

I’m Indian. And I do love some of your cheese, especially Edammer, Maasdammer and aged Gouda. I was introduced to smoked Gouda during a visit to a friend’s house in Delft, and it _rocks_!

**Mycroft Holmes** , OTOH, is Dutch, or at least lives in the Netherlands.

Yay! I got a mention!

As for **Maastricht**. I can remember where she lives. That was hard. It is also where **Swannguy** is originally from, but she’s not from there originally. Her husband is a synesthete. She likes animals.

**Gum** has a great taste in films and likes the Coen brothers in particular. Conforms the Dutch stereotype of liking cheese and will even eat the dreaded cumin cheese that even plenty of Dutch are scared of. :eek: 😃

Both **Gum** and **Coldfire** know more about Dutch soccer than I do.

I think Mr Holmes is a German who lives in the Netherlands. However, he has gotten so assimulated into Dutch culture that he now holidays in a caravan IIRC.
