> [@Smeghead](#): > > lno, Doobieous, edwino, Satan… **edwino!** Aw. I wonder what he’s gotten up to, too. I got the most bizarre, nerdy compliment ever from him, once upon a time, something like “my omatidia are bursting with delight!” (We were talking about fruit flies, or something.) **lno** and **doobieous** I both still regularly see on LJ, and are doing well. **lno** has a baby girl and everything. ---

Haha! It took me all of 3 seconds to find contact info for **edwino** so I sent him a message. So he’s either going to think I’m a fly eyeball crazed stalker, or he’ll pop back in here. 😉 ---

**sturmhawke** Got bored of the dope said that it just got too pedantic and that the wit had abandoned it. I still am in touch with him via other means, but I haven’t seen him post here in quite a while. ---

To give a little more detail on **andygirl** , she finished grad school and become a speech-language pathologist. She may still be lurking here, but I think what with the whole school/professional training/work thing she’s been too busy the past few years to spend much time on the SDMB. ---

So he’s either going to think I’m a fly eyeball crazed stalker, or he’ll pop back in here. 😉 He was trying to get me to study fruit flies at his old grad school, gosh, like six or seven years ago. I’m now in grad school studying fruit flies. ---

BTW, not that I’m stalking or anything, but in answer to the OP’s question, I googled **lobstermobster** and I’m pretty sure the first result is her (active) Twitter page. ---

I wasn’t on the list so far but I haven’t been here for a while until tonight when I found this. Have to say, in the interest of not sticking my foot in my mouth, the first thing I did was check to see if Hippo was still around. Since I see **Nine** in this thread, and saw no mention otherwise, I will assume she is doing fine and on her way to California soon, both of which would be great to hear!
