Love you too, dear. 😉

\*_NoClueBoy_, you missed the KC dopefest because of a chronological blunder? For shame! You missed meeting a whopping 18 dopers that can make an Italian chef cry. You’re right about **Baker** ; class all the way. You haven’t lived until you’ve read her t-shirts and sampled the delicious desserts she can whip up.

Personally, I think tom should be one Horseman, and debb another. 😉 I mean, it’s not fair that they have to share a horsie.

**Wang Ka** and **lieu** ,cause they are really funny, **Q.E.D** cause he has so much knowledge to share.

**Calm Kiwi** is top on the list.She is one of my bestest and oldest friends and the most lovely person on the face of the earth.

The ones that come immediately to mind. Listed in no particular order:

**NoClueBoy** , **Lobsang** , **lieu** , **Wang-Ka** , **Scylla** , **Rue DeDay** , and **Satisfying Andy Licious** - These guys never fail to bring a laugh, and they always do it with style.

**EddyTeddyFreddy** , **BellaDellaItalia** , **SanguineSpider** , and **Blonde** - I’m just _dying_ (harr harr 😛 ) to meet these ladies.

**Maureen** , **Davebear** , **Robot Arm** , **mipiace** , **Jaade** , **if6was9** , **SimpleDreamer** , **ShotgunZen** , **White Ink** , **tanookie** (and **Parallax** ), **dctaz** , **IvaHD** , **Salem** , **SoulFrost** , **Wyatt** , and **Maastricht** - The Legendary OMFG gang. (Yes, I hung out there too, get over it.)

**AbbySthrnAccent** (and **EddyTeddyFreddy** too) for keeping the word games moving along.

**Johnny L.A.** (soon to be **Johnny WA**? :D)- Got questions about motorcycles, planes, or helicopters? He’s got answers. And he just seems like a cool dude.

**Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor** , **Lsura** , **jackelope** - Just because they’re other Tennessee Dopers I’ve seen posting a lot.

**Coldfire** , **Xavier** , **gatopescado** , **utkik** , **maleinblack** , and **green\_bladder** - Fellow Formula 1 fans from whom I’ve seen knowledgable discussion.

I have to say, in all humble honesty, there are scads of dopers I would like to meet ( mostly female) because they are so funny and can elucidate coherent thoughts much better than me. I will forgo names here, basically **Jennirosity, Eve, LifeonWry, Delphica, Aries28,Kalhoun, Bodypoet, Cranky, Jarbaby,Francesca, amongst the first 9000** because I have a habit of forgetting names.

Ok, there are a few guys too, but it is mostly because you all are the manliest of men. Ugga ugga oook ook.

Really, pray tell? But I swear, I don’t want to tax our little hamsters, but he has a significant other, right? RIGHT?

And you Gundy, shameless hussy that you are, are having beer with him! **Could ya just pat his butt a little for me please**.

[sub]I know I don’t know you, but it’s merely joking…I’m truly jealous\*\*

Now, so I don’t appear stalkerish about the dear man, I’m going to pretend I never posted these things.

Nope, no sig other, either. He’s looking and available. I hope he doesn’t mind me saying so, though…::looks around furtively:: And I’m here to tell you that he’s genuinely as nice and fun as he seems on the board, and twice as cute. I have stuffed money down his pants, but I dunno if he wants me patting his bum. I’ll ask.

Speaking for myself, dealing with people who flip out over trivial things and who act like their world’s ending because I make a perfectly reasonable decision makes me a little cranky. Maybe UB’s similarly afflicted. I’ve met UB several times, and he’s quite a nice guy – not cranky at all, if a little on the quiet side. And he makes terrifically yummy spanakopita. People that make me food = good in my book.

As for me, I’ve been lucky enough to meet some really great Dopers and form good friendships with them. With a few exceptions, there’s nobody on here that I _wouldn’t_ like to meet.

By any chance, could that be \<cough\> **porcupine** \<cough\>?

**BBJ** , as far as **Zanshin** ’s cute butt is concerned, in the words of Michael Jackson, “I’ll handle that for you.” That is, if’n I can distract **Gundy** for a moment. _Hey look! I found a quarter!_

Hey **drop** - you catch that **LoW** initially thought I was you with a different name? I forget. Which one of us is supposed to be more insulted by tis type of comment?

And you all realize, of course, that **LoW’s** gardening comment directed to me is - like all horticulture - little more than a thinly veiled reference to sex. Same back at ya, my little liverwurst. Perennially and ever which way.
