A couple of more: @Pardel-Lux . We’ve discussed them before, in regard to rare books. I think we could have a nice discussion over a couple of fine European beers that he would recommend. @Aspenglow . She’s kept an eye on the watchalong American politics threads, and kept them civil. Plus, as a former court clerk, she’s informed me of a lot of American civil and political procedure. I may be a Canadian lawyer, but there are differences in our rules, and @Aspenglow has helped explain the American ones. Thank you! ---

I’ve already met a few Dopers on a trip to the US several years ago. I’d really like to meet everyone who posts in the MMP, mainly because I feel like I know them so well already. To be honest, it would be quicker to list the posters I don’t want to meet! ---

I’ll gladly bring the beers if you supply the whisky. ---

> [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > I’ll gladly bring the beers if you supply the whisky. Deal! I’ll bring Canadian whiskies that you’ve never heard of, but which taste wonderful. Canadian Club? I call that paint thinner. There’s much better, and I hope to prove it to you. ---

I’ve met maybe a dozen Dopers over the years, some of whom no longer post much. I’d enjoy meeting almost anyone who has been here roughly as long as I have (a long time!), for a meal or a beer. Even the guys like @Stranger_On_A_Train or @Handy who ruffle a few feathers, certainly those interested in medicine or fitness like @DSeid or @moriarty, people who live outside North America, those who know Chicago intimately, fellow Canucks who know a riding from _une rondelle…_ ---

Probably end up in an argument and parting of ways, but a beer with **Vinyl Turnip** could be…interesting. I’m sure **Cervaise** and **Gyrate** would have a _bon mot_ or two.
