gorgon heap has definitely promised me a drink before.
[sub]i gotta start writing this down…[/sub]
Eh, just do a search and “favoritize” the links.
Cecil Adams for the obvious reasons
Lieu because I like poop jokes.
Gary T If I was having car problems.
There really are too many, but those are the ones that jumped out at me.
I always wanted to meet Phaedrus…
RickJay. I don’t know why…
Coldfire, QtM, Dr. Lao, jarbabyj, and Mr. Cynical would be nice too, off the top of my head. Taxguy as well.
(bolding mine)
I’ve been mentioned! Finally! My name has been mentioned in one of these love fests! I have arrived!
As far as dopers I’d like to meet, there are a few I’m sure, I’m just lacking the brain power to put all the names into a list at the moment. I’ll have to get back to that.
Well that’d work better if I took off the other bolding tags first…

A popularity contest ! Whoopee !
I harbour secret affections for Eva Luna, Lamia, Diogenes, jjimm, Sauron & Aries 28, alice_in_wonderland, matt_mcl, elucidator, monstro, Biggirl, margin, Broomstick, iampunha, mangeorge … no doubt there are more but I can’t think of them now - there are so many of y’all !
And going by the number of names listed that I’ve never seen before, it seems I’ve got much more Doping to do …
Well, in addition to all the ones I’ve already met, and all the ones I’m about to meet next week in London, definitely Tamerlane. I’m sure there are others, but I haven’t had enough caffeine yet to come up with a list. And I’ll make it out to the Bay Area one of these days, since I’ve got a couple of very old friends and a cousin out there.
Lobsang Cause he cracks me up. He has one of those weird follow-the-train-of-thought kind of mind (and I have a weird pommy boy fetish too).
jjimm He is clever, witty and always about. I think he would be good fun to have a drink or 4 with. He strikes me as the perfect mix of brains and silly.
Rue DeDay The weirdest, funniest bloke there is. Of course I had to tell the child he died because of his tendency of having X rated dreams.
Lissener Because people who are passionate and defend their position to the nth degree are all good by me. He may bash people over the head with the big stick but he does it with a passion.
B]JarbabyJ** Same reason as above. She gets her teeth into an arguement and carries it through with passion but shows her wicked sense of humour.
Lieu Because farts and poop are funny and because he sometimes shows that class clown is not all that he is.
Quazzi (sp) Because I still get the giggles over boatloads of kitties vs world peace.
Quasimodem Because I just learnt so much from him and I don’t want him to be anal compulsive.
TheLoadedDog because he shows why we Kiwis love and hate Aussies all at the same time. Witty, clever, kind and yet still willing to do multiple arse flashing over All Black defeat 
Ice Wolf Because she is so incredibly clever and has an awesome sense of humour, which she seems shy to show here but is well demonstrated at G’Dope. Anytime a mini AuckDope is of interest let me know (username @hotmail). I am more then a tad intimidated by your knowlege.
And Maleinblack Because after 5 years of knowing him online I expect to be invited to his wedding (flight paid for, for me and the child of course). True friends come from not where you expect them but they are gold.
Wow…I’m honored to have been mentioned by a few of you.
I would love to meet every single Doper who has participated in the Book Fairy program and sent me such kind emails.
I would also like to meet gobear, Homebrew, Polycarp, Siege, Guinastasia, iampunha, Aslan of Narnia…gosh…there are just so many people I would be here all day trying to name them all.
Sauron and I have already talked about trying to fly up to the next MAD affair and if we can swing it, we plan to sometime next year.
***Sniff.
Sniff.*
I thought for once I’d get mentioned in a popularity thread…
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride…
Oh, and I’d like to meet Steelerphan, if for no other reason than to try to convince him I’m not a jerk. And I met ShibbOleth, but did not have nearly enough time to really get to talk to him.
I’d have to say (and this list is by no means complete, it’s my hunger-addled - what - it’s LUNCHTIME! - brain trying to perform)
Diane - rarely has she said anything that I don’t find supercool.
porcupine - she knows why - we share a sibling (kinda), a birthday, and a bunch o’other stuff.
UncleBeer - he’s just “cool”.
Audrey Levins - she’s just “cool”.
dinsdale - he’s just “cool”.
dropzone - he’s just “cool”. You getting the picture yet? 
Ed Zotti - he just cracks me up.
jdavis - there aren’t words enough to thank him, but I’d like to try.
tomndebb - the man has the patience of a saint, and ability to explain things so I’ll understand them - no easy feat - some have described it as akin to banging your head against a brick wall.
Bricker - yep, it’s that whole “cool” thing again.
matt_mcl - I just would love to talk politics with him - what an extraordinary young man!
gobear - thanks to some of the stuff he’s posted, I’ve learned a lot, I’ve taken a good look at some of my beliefs and I’ve changed them - 'nuff said.
Jodi - see above under “Bricker”. Yep - cool.
Bottled Blonde Jeanie - starter of way cool threads. 
That’s all I can do for now but believe me, there are so many, many more - but I have to get some lunch or I’m going to waste away to absolutely nothin, and y’all wouldn’t want THAT to happen, would you?
Well, you sort of did…I included all the Dopers I’ve met so far, and I’ve met you a couple of times now!
I’ll mention you by name, if it makes you feel better…
“Gee, I’m just DYING to meet that Hamlet dude, even if I’m now having a really disturbing mental image of him wearing a bridesmaid dress, with satin pumps dyed to match.”
OMG!
Missy describes Dinsdale, UncleBeer and dropzone as cool!?
What kind of dictionary are you using that defines cool as middle aged, myopic and flatulent. (I tell you it was the dog! Honest!)
Otto and Monty
but not at the same time!
I changed at the last minute and went with the Betty Crepe Luxe rather than the satin. My big ole’ size 12’s got a little to sweaty in the satins. But they really do bring out the color in my eyes.
Horseflesh, you made my day. I wanna met ye too.
Casey1505 would be fun to watch a race with.
I’d like to see if I could drink jjimm under the table. I bet I could.
Earl Snake-Hips Tucker, Greywolf73, torrie and all the other SC dopers I can’t remember right now.
Oooh… I almost forgot Lamia, who turned me on to a new interest. (Remember AAVE?)
And LifeOnWry, who was a darling for helping me out in the psychic reading thread.
More to come…
