I appear to be alone. No decent matches came up in my search on ‘bite’ or ‘provoked’.

Well, I’m surprised. I figured that I was pretty alone here. But then I found **Dave Plankton** , **David Plankton** (identical twins, perhaps?), and **planktonian**.

On the other end, there are **SuburbanBliss** , **suburban refugee** , and **Suburban\_Rhythm**.

Of course, they all post even less frequently than I do, so it looks like it’s all on me to uphold the family name. I guess the family reuinion will be at my house this year!

Though you could be in the same kindergarten class as **Runs with scissors** and **Eats\_Crayons.**

I claim **Sam Stone** , **Lisa-go-Blind** , **Mr. Blue Sky** , **London\_Calling** and **Watcher of the Skies**. I’m sure there are more song titles/lyrics out there.

I thought I was a Doper orphan, forever to roam these wordy netherlands alone and without relatives. But then, hark, out of the darkness (actually a light bulb went off in my head) came relatives with similar meanings: Talkinsquirrel or talkativeperson or Talkingsquirrel or dopetalker or TalkingHead or TalkAboutIslam or shannystalker or must register to stalk you or Talking Meat Puppet or TalksToWalls or girltalk or ThinkThenTalk or Talking Ass or LawTalkingGuy or Talk to me or talking head or Talking Walls or talkingtom or talkvegas or gridtalker or krystalkf or talk2larry4ever or italks

Myself, I think I shall like getting to know my long lost third cousin Talking Meat Puppet. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll have much in common with my brother’s great uncle, ThinkThenTalk. And is talk2larry4ever still talking to Larry? Just wondering. I will have to get to know some of my family members. I may stay away from the Talking Ass, though. 😃

Awwww **blondebear** we love ya! There’s also **davebear and purrplebear** who may no longer be members here.

Ok, **chaotic\_bear** , **gobear** (who, sadly, let his membership lapse) and I are part of the SDMB gay agenda. **Bear-Nenno** AKA Napples is not part of the gay agenda but he is, along with me, one of the July 29th birthday dopers, so we have that in common.

Don’t have time to search but \*\*Anaamika \*\* means _the girl with no name_. So anybody of that genre would work…although I like having \*\*Anastaseon \*\* as a siter.

When **Guinastasia** joined the Dope, I considered doing an involved parody of Wally introducing his daughter to the SDMB. I don’t think I actually did.
