Actually, I haven’t. I have a whole bunch of hang-ups about nudity and my own sexuality, but that’s for another thread.

Mate, if there’s one thing i’ve learned in this life, it ain’t _how many_ people notice you that matters, its _who_.

Now if you’ll excuse us ladies and gentlemen, me and **Genghis**'ere will be leaving the little backslap-athon that’s going on here in the lounge.

If you want us, we’ll be in the kitchen with a fridge full of beer and some bored college girls.

It’s not terribly deliberate - the info seems to have just stuck in my brain - but I keep an eye on which dopers are fellow mathematicians (also tentatively on phyicists and other scientists, but I’m far less certain of those). Of course with names like **ultrafilter** it’s often not that hard to tell…

I guess I’ll join the rest of the thread: what do people know about me? 🙂

Hold on there, dude. Chastain is King of all _Survivor_ trivia, has a new baby daughter, hates Babys R Us with a passion, and… and… well, that’s it. I’m tapped out.

**AwSnappity** has a whole bunch of hang-ups about nudity and sexuality, and is the only Doper who has not seen at least one Doper naked.

**NoClueBoy** has an evil sense of humor. He recently sent postcards of Oklahoma City to other Dopers. Sometimes his postcards have amusing stick figures drawn on them.

**Hal Briston** is very intelligent, but is often distracted by shiny objects.

I’ve wanted to make lists from time to time. Since I have a mind like a steel sieve (a phrase I’m trying to promote, feel free to use it wherever applicable), it’s about the only way I’d ever keep up with anybody.

(I’ll make a few notes, do some checking, and comment more later.)

**Fenris** He’s middle-aged, Jewish, and ‘to the right of Reagan’. Back in the eighties, he worked at a movie theater.  
**CmKeller** The C is for Chaim. He’s the author of a highly regarded Legion faq.  
**Eve** Has a fish on one of her walls. I keep trying to picture a tasteful, Art Deco fish. But, I am unable to do so.  
**DancesWithCats** Is a firefighter.
