I’m sorry i dont know more of y’all, you sound like some pretty cool people and so i can only mention the people i know off the board **Catalyst** -showed me Straight Dope, and has acted as my conscience, and is a great freind, and he’s helped me with so many problems i can’t count them all, corruptor indeed! **Searching for Truth** -you know I adore u, and no matter much how you claim that every flower you touch wilts, I won’t let you forget the one that grew into something better than it ever thought possible (even if I am still awful and horible). I love you lots and will see you around, count on it. ---

80 replies, and not one person mentioned my name. Dave, I don’t love you anymore. Okay, fine, I do. But I want you to mention me in an addon 🙂 **Muffinman** , you’re one of my best friends, I adore you. You’re one of 3 people I stilltalk to in Tally. Don’t ever change, you’re awesome the way you are. **Guin** , I love how you continuously promote [customerssuck.com](http://customerssuck.com). It makes me laugh every time. Hang in there chica, things will look up. **Matt** , thanks for the advice on the drinking laws in Canada. If only we’d known that BEFORE we went up there…grr. I went to Dairy Queen last week, thought of you, and ordered just a plain ice cream cone. Acceptable? 🙂 Everyone else, you’re all awesome too. I love this place… ::sniff:: ---

This will probably get long, but here goes: First, Serendipity, thank you. You don’t know how much that means to me. I admire you. SilkyThreat, my SDMB mom…I love you. Same goes for all my dear Bamadopers, especially Simetra who came to celebrate my birthday, and Ogre and Pies ‘R’ Squared (I miss you) and Dire Wolf and the mighty Osip and all the new ones that are coming in August. Speaker for the Dead. If I had a little brother, I’d want him to be just like you. Ad Noctum, ditto. Except I wouldn’t buy you porn. 😉 quixotic78, Dyno, MamaHen, Rasa, Morrison’s Lament, for being my buddies in chat and so gosh-darn fun and funny. (And we all miss Nulska.) Arden Ranger & Mauvaise for being simply wonderful. Especially covered in jello. Totoro, for being my sweet little boy from Boston. And sharing his stories with me in a personal way (he knows what I mean). Superdude and Verrain, for always being interesting to talk to. Airman Doors, for always, always, listening to me bitch and moan and laughing with me and telling me how cool I was (even though you are infinitely more so!) and promising to meet me in what? October? iampunha, for lots of things. You know what they are. Scotticher & Upham for being real sweethearts. And finally…TheNerd. You are the best friend I have from these boards…you have done so much more than you should have for me, but I thank you. You’re one of my best friends of all time, actually, and I’m really glad T.S. Eliot brought us together. ---

The following should be mentioned, in no particular order, and by no means a complete list – I just can’t think of any more right now: Those who make me laugh out loud, in the depths of an isolated night: **brother rat TheLoadedDog Fenris Scylla Euthychus55** (It would be epochal if _that_ gentleman _wasn’t_ mentioned. He’s got the market cornered on “adore” lists.) **Crunchy Frog wring Arden Ranger TruePisces** Special mention to **Stoid** , who through all the trials and tribulations, still manages to carry the day with class. And … **me**. Self-love or self-opinion be damned, I adore myself, and it’ll stay that way. Bye. ---

This is one of the very few times anyone has EVER called me cool, and certainly the most public. That means a great deal to me. By the way, **Nocturne** , you are truly one of the greats, in my not so humble opinion. 🙂 I’ll have to let you know about Biloxi, OK? And **iampunha** , the same goes for you. **Scotti** , I’ve never seen you say anything mean or hateful, even to trolls. You should be commended for that. As far as **Upham** goes, I’ve never met you, but if **Nocturne** says you’re cool, you sound like someone I’d like to meet. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention **Pammipoo** , who has already reproached me earlier for my omission. I think you’re a great person and a wonderful friend. And hell, while I’m feeling vulnerable, I’d like to apologize to **Stoid** for my somewhat personal attacks recently. We will almost certainly never agree on anything, but the vehemence of my attacks was uncalled for. You are a person, and therefore worthy of respect. Just try not to say any more stupid stuff, OK? 😉 -Dave ---

I adore **Serendipity**. No matter how much you have on your mind, you still always have time to comfort and care for others. For that, I adore you. And, of course for remembering me, even though I haven’t been here a lot lately. **tatertot** , babe, lets make sure we’re both at a Eurodope soon okay? And thank you for all your postcards and letters, you have no idea how much it means to me. **FairyChatMom** , my own virtual mommy. I’ll moon a neighbor tonight and think of you. **TruePisces** , I wish you and I could get together for drinks and laughs. I bet we’d have a blast. **Crunchy Frog** , I still have a (not so secret) crush on you. And thanks for everything, you rock! This might come as a surprise **Jack Batty** , but I read your LiveJournal almost every day and you’d better believe I’m rooting for you. Keep your head up, you’ll make it. **Montfort** and **Anniz** , you two are very special people. I hope you know how happy I am for the two of you. From afar, I adore **Fenris** , **Scylla** and **Redboss** for being funny as hell. Also **Cranky** because she’s so brilliant. You know, I could probably go on and on for hours, but I’m going back to camp in a few hours and I have to pack. I love you all!! ---

So many of you I adore and I try to tell you all but I have to give a special I adore you to hazel-rah. He never fails to laugh over the same geeky joke night after night. He is always there to entertain. Love ya Hazel. Nocturne/Nulska, now we know the truth! I still adore you and think you are great. Quix, you are wonderful for always laughing at my jokes and taking being the butt of them very well. Mnemosyne, for all the great dragon and spider stories I thank you. You’ve made me realize I am not alone in a world, someone else out there has to kill the spiders. Rasa, I still appreciate you 🙂 All the Dopers at in the chat, I love you all and thank you for all the wonderful chats. Gunnar, come back to the chat, you are missed. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Soda \* > \*\*From afar, I adore **Fenris** , **Scylla** and **Redboss** for being funny as hell. \*\* [jaw drops open] Well, um - thanks. I’m extremely flattered to be mentioned at all, but in the same breath as **those two** it’s a bit overwhelming, and I fear, anticlimactic. Somewhat like hearing someone say “Laurence Olivier, John Geilgud and Richard Simmons” Nevertheless dearest **Soda** (and **Francesca** ) thanks. I promise to be 14% funnier in future.

Well, I’m just too damn lazy to write out my list, but I damn sure know that **Crunchy Frog** moved up several notches on the list order. All you chat knuckleheads forgot about me! How could you? Anyways. Pretty much if you’ve interacted with me at all, you’re on my favorites list. Except **dpr** , for forgetting to mention his own sidekick!

Let’s see, Gotta start with: Jester: Coz he’s just the sweetest guy I’ve ever met and a wonderful SO. Zoggie: Because she’s just that cool. And we like the same stuff. Hehehe… MorgainLaFey: I got her to join the board! And she’s one of my more amusing friends… Scotticher: She gave me a virtual hug when I was having a bad day, even though she has no idea who I am. MagicalSilverKey: He amuses me to no end and I like talking to him and practicing my “mean flirtin’ skills”. Scylla: Every post I read bu Scylla has me laughing and in a better mood. I thank him for that. All the PGH Dopers, especially those who came to my play! YAY! sorry I couldn’t make the Dopefest, but my mother’s rash of random groundings is slowing down, so I’ll be at the next. and there WILL be a next… \ That’s it for now.

Oh, I suppose I should mention **thinksnow** now. Met up with him last night, as we both live in the same town. He seemed to be a real gem of a guy. Plus, he’s taller than I am.
