> [@flamingbananas](#): > > Now I want to know what you people know about me. So dish! All I know is you’re way too young for me to be having this recurring fantasy about you, a swimming pool full of lime Jello, and a lemur on a leash. I may have said too much… **Baker** is a prison doctor, **Vivalostwages** lives in Kansas City, **SkipMagic** has met Phred Phelps, and **Quodqop the Mercotan** is a part time English professor married to **Aunti Em**. I may have a few things mixed up… ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > wtf? Indeed. Duuuuuude, you are SO messed up. Can’t y’all tell where I live from my friggin’ sig? Did I not tell some of you folks repeatedly that I teach-a the English and that I am also an Ass Spec [assessment specialist]? I know for a fact that you, NCB, work in some fashion with furniture and furnishings and remodeling and restaurant layout and please stop me right this second if I have fouled it up. I also know roughly when your birthday is, at least the right month, and it is around the same time as **Aesiron’s**. How’m I doin’? ---

> [@flamingbananas](#): > > Now I want to know what you people know about me. So dish! I know you suffer horrible migraines and can’t take Topamax, and are curently trying to find something to help. And you’re young, high school age, maybe? And your sig always makes me think of that Bill Murray line in _Groundhog Day_ when he says, “Morons, your bus is leaving.” And **Bambi** , yes, you’re very close. I teach Preschool, older 4’s and young 5’s. Sort of a Pre-Kindergarten. ---

Well, by now, you ought to have my gender pegged, but what else? Yeh, cats, but how many? What else? Huh? C’mon, I’ve left enough breadcrumb trails, after all. ---

You have … eight cats, right? And you’re female. And older than I would have guessed. And you also have horseys! ---

> [@BiblioCat](#): > > You have … eight cats, right? > And you’re female. And older than I would have guessed. And you also have horseys! Very good! Although I’ve rehomed one that was miserable being an indoor cat, and she’s now a wild, free barn cat. So it’s down to two black female cats, and five orange tiger boys. ---

> [@Bear\_Nenno](#): > > I recently heard how many of you keep files that you update whenever a Doper mentions his/her birthday. I _know_ it doesn’t stop there!!! Nope, it does stop there. It’s just a birthday list. 🙂 If anybody is keeping _files_ full of the other stuff, I’d sure like to know also! 😃 > [@Bambi Hassenpfeffer](#): > > I remember the genders of most of the Dopers who use ambiguous or misleading names. I do that too… but usernames leave impressions that can be hard to get rid of. It’s taken me this long to shake the image of the blonde lady from the “bitter beer face” TV commercial where she says it in German. 😃 ---

Upon starting that first birthday thread so long ago, I did make some rather “small” files about certain dopers and other “things”. But, of course I’ll never tell 😉 ---

This is fascinating: I want to see someone say things they know about me, and at the same time, I don’t want anyone to **really** know things about me. Or at least not **too** much. Just don’t make stuff up, unless I’d be flattered, 'K?
