If you have that big of an issue with me, then start yet another Pit thread or email me, but enough is enough. I thought after the Pit thread died things were over-they were on my side anyways. ---

**JimB** , **Chef Troy** , **Zyada** , and all my other DFW friends for welcoming me and giving me a second family. **Scotticher** for being my heart. She is the sweetest, kindest, most tender-hearted person I know. I love that she geniunely cares about people. There’s nothing insincere about her and that is so refreshing. I don’t know him but… **Scylla** for posting things that make me laugh until my sides hurt. And then, for turning around and posting something sweet about his wife or getting all serious. I can’t figure you out man, but I love that about you. **Shayna** for being my best friend. ---

**Mnementh, GingerOfTheNorth, Rasa, Elenfair** … for making me smile. It always startles me to realize that people remember me when they’re not reading my posts. It’s a shibby feeling. 🙂 **Esprix** , because you’re so cute, and the third most flaming faggot I know. **Freyr.** _footrubs_ **LaurAnge** ; you make me feel all sunny inside. **Kimstu** , for watching my back. **Scylla** and **pldennison** , for being gentlemen. ---

:: entering the hall, the door squeaking as I open it… everyone turns in thier folding chairs to look. The hollow click clack of my shoes resonates through the hall as I walk down the aisle and ascend the steps. Standing on a foot stool behind the podium, I tip the microphone and tap it lightly :: _ahem_ “ **Crunchy Frog** ” ::Stepping off the stool I make for the steps. As I descend, my right stilletto catches on a crack in the old flooring and sends me flying down the steps landing at **pezpunk** ’s feet, my skirt riding up over my hips, my purse goes flying sending lipstick and makeup and tamponsall over the place. Me and my broken stilletto go limping down the hall… click clunk…click clunk…:: ---

TechChick (duh): I think she’s brilliant, and interesting, and I love interacting with her. She adds a nifty type of spice to the Boards. ExTank: You can’t have a Gun Control debate without 'im. He’s extremely reliable with his information, and likes to make sure that he can back up the things he says. Unclebeer: Same as ExTank. And he’s got this great gruff quality to his demeanor that is rather refreshing. Additionally, his nickname, “Unclepee”, always gives me the giggles. Mercutio: One of the few Dopers I’ve met. He’s got a great mind, a great sense of humor, and he brings a lot of fun. Plus, he’s very dependable, and is willing to stick up for a friend. Shayna: Another of the few Dopers I’ve met. She puts in a lot of work for the people she’s met on the Boards, and is always willing to share herself with people. Plus, she’s kind of a cutie… 😃 (right, Spiny Norman?) Coldfire: Another guy who’s fun to interact with. His sense of humor is backed up by a pleasing intelligence and a sort of bizarre, thousand-mile-long-penis-type nobility. Johnny L.A.: A big, goofy, loveable guy. His participation in the Boards always brings a unique, Johnny-ish twist. And his new pirate friend, Big Gay Al, is spiffy. And, finally, his birthday is the day before mine. Fenris: Some people are creative, and then some people are _creative_. Fenris falls into the latter category. Weirddave: The only Trekkie who doesn’t get on my nerves. He never fails to rib me on some “Star Trek is better!” sort of reference… but he’s not obnoxious about it. And he plays Diablo II, t’boot. Esprix: Another of the few Dopers I’ve met. He’s a nice guy, open and honest, and allows his feelings to play close to the surface. There’re some others, like ssskuggiii (although she changed her name, I’ll always think of her as ssskuggiii), who is a sweetheart who is fun to talk to, but I’ve written enough already. ---

I would like to say: **Hardygrrl** , for even mentioning me! 🙂 **Scylla** , who wrote the first thing I ever read on this board, which made me laugh until I peed, and inadvertantly introduced me to the world of the SDMB. **CrunchyFrog** , without whose Welcome Wagon I would have felt unappreciated. (ha ha!) **Astroboy** , whose posts I always make an effort to read, just because they are entertaining. And finally, to all of the **Women of the SDMB** who have mgnificent, wonderful, funny thoughts on every comment under the sun. It makes me feel good to know I’m in such a good crowd! ---

Eep. I’ve been putting off posting here for a while, but I guess that now’s as good a time as any. In no particular order: **Deiket** for being the bestest SO ever, even though I always have to order the food. **Zoggie** for always being there to hang out with on AIM, and not laughing at me when I told her about my stuffed animals. Also, for putting up with my ranting. **Scotticher** for being the most undeniably caring person that I have ever talked to, and for always being fun to talk to. **struuter** , who just showed up again! Yay! I hope that you’ll stick around this time, since you ARE one of my bestest buds here. The PittDopers: **Medea’s Child** for the e-mails, **Guin** for always having some groovy witty comment, **Le Sang** for being quietly diabolic (I hope things are going alright for you, btw), **SpinneZiege** whose name I still can’t spell, and **mrblue** , who should be an honorary PittDoper. **Scylla** for being my hero here, and **Fenris** for being almost impossible to tell apart from **Scylla**.😛 **hardygrrl** for not thinking that my card was too cheesy, even though it really was. 🙂 **thinksnow** for just bein awesom, and **Dire Wolf** for the same reason. Hmmmmmm…I am positively certain that I forgot people, but this post is a bit too long already, so I’ll just call it a day for now. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jester \* (bolding mine) > Crunchy Frog for bein **an all-around classy guy** , and funny as Hell. 'Cuz nuthin says class like starting a thread about one’s testicles. 😉 Not to offend the cool people with obvious good taste who had the wisdom to name me as one of the most adored, but I have only one person on my list: **Crunchy Frog** What can I say, I’m feeling a bit cocky and arrogant with a dash of narcisism today. Ok, that’s a bit much, even for my egomaniacal ways today. My list includes: **wyldelf Nymysys Esprix Creaky Mercutio SPOOFE Monster104 hardygrrl GingerOfTheNorth Eutychus55 Jack Batty** and **Jester** - even though the little bastard left me off his original list. 😛 ---

I haven’t been here that long, so while I know there are many good people here, the one that really sticks out to me is **Una** / **Anthracite** / **whatever she calls herself**. [Boston accent] She is _wicked_ awesome [/Boston accent]…and I do _not_ say that merely because of my…ummm…“fascination” with lesbians…although she does have _excellent_ taste in the pics she uses for her own board. 😃 Oh yes, and her girlfriend **Fierra** is pretty cool too.
