Dopers You'd Like to Meet

I guess I really am as boring as I think I am.

It’s ironic, 'cause IRL, EVERYBODY wants to meet me! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

Maybe I shouldn’t channel Jon Lovitz. :smack:
I would like to meet Fenris, Scylla, World Eater, Weird Dave, Diane, SPOOFE, eclucidator, and a few others.

I already met, Coldie, Shayna, Spiny Norman,, and Deb2World(Go Angels!!!). But I doubt they’d remember.

Yeah, these board lovefests can be tough on the ego.

and scott evil…

I’d like to meet if6was9 because he lives right down the road from me, literally…

I’ve only met one doper that I know of. That’s Violet, whom I met in college xx years ago. I should add here that she’s waaay younger than I am. I started college late. We talk via email from time to time, but haven’t had the opportunity to meet since college.

Dopers I haven’t met but would like to are quite a few. A short list would include Scylla, Fenris and Steve Wright, who have made me laugh and Polycarp, Zev Steinhardt, and Tomndebb, who have made me think (not that those two sets’qualifications wouldn’t be reversible).

Mmm-hmm. Meeting me in person helps others to stop confusing me with matt_mcl, which still seems to happen, the latest being this week in yet another gay-themed Pit thread. :rolleyes:

I’m just going to be more selective vis-à-vis whom I allow to meet me, that’s all. :wink:

So do I… I go to school right off exit 29 and live a little farther up the road from that.

There are a few others of us who live in this little section of PA. Airman Doors, USAF, danceswithcats, Zappo, and others. Maybe we should get together for lunch sometime.

Do people really get the two of you confused?? I only ask because I never do. You see, I have mental images of what most of you look like (yeah, I know they’re almost guaranteed to be wrong, but it helps to keep me from getting confused), and you and matt_mcl don’t look anything alike!:slight_smile:

Well, no one confuses him for me (or is it me for him?), but for example, someone said that matt was getting married, when in actual fact, it’s me who’s engaged and planning My Big Fab Gay Wedding®. (matt was gracious and corrected the mistaken poster.) This happens every so often.

And no, we don’t look anything alike.

It’s no doubt because we’re the two gay male Montrealers who post here, and quite possibly because the first parts of our usernames each end in “tt”.

One of you looks like Seth Green, and the other does not. Simple.

Oh crap… I hate responding to these things… I compeletely forgot
Eve, Seige (formerly CJ) and Aha

for all the other dopers I forgot the first time and this time my apologies.

Y’all suck.

I didn’t want to meet any of you either… :wink:

There’s just too many to name. Plus the fact that I’m terrible with names to begin with, whether they be real or pseudonyms. But I’ll give special mention to Misstee, Horseflesh, SanguineSpider, LaurAnge, DreadCthulhu, SiXSwordS, Eve, Genie, GMRyujin, Gorgon Heap, and all other members of the Academy for this tremendous honor. Ooops, there goes the theme music, they’ll be cutting off the mike any mome-

av8rmike, I’d say I’d like to meet you, but I already have. I would, however, like to meet you again.

As for the rest of you, as soon as I hit Submit Reply, I’ll think of someone I very much wanted to mention, but forgot to. After I shut off my computer, I’ll think of a dozen more. Chances are, the people I forgot will be the people I most wanted to mention.

Oh, forget it – why not live dangerously?

If you’re names not on the list, assume I’ll think of it in 5 minutes. I did not forget Polycarp, I have met him and look forward to meeing him and his lady again.

CJ

Well, there are many people I’d like to meet, but I gotta tell you, the short list is really odd, if you know anything about the stuff I post and who I end up nose to nose with.

lissener(!)
Diogenes the Cynic
Reeder(!!!)
TwistofFate
sailor
elucidator
matt_mcl

…and pretty much everyone else I end up fighting with here. I think I come off as particularly abrasive on the SDMB, but I’d like to have a rational debate in person with all of them so that they can see for themselves that I’m not unreasonable.

As far as social interaction, I’d like to meet all of you. That would be cool. :slight_smile:

Seige I called the hotel when you were in town in Oct.but there was no answer.
I missed you, didn’t want you to think I didn’t try, I did.
stupid hotel.

Hmm … let’s see … I’m a relative newbie, so my list will only get longer as time goes on, I’m sure.

Coldfire because he’s cool. In fact all the mods and admins are cool.

Wang-Ka, lieu, and Rue DeDay because they’re funny.

Quasimodem, GingerOfTheNorth, FairyChatMom, Shoshana, norinew, and JavaMaven1 (and anyone else I’ve forgotten) because they’ve been so supportive and helpful in the MPSIMS weight loss thread.

Qadgop the Mercotan because he gives sage medical advice and is just cool.

Phlosphr because he poses interesting questions and loves his wife to the tips of his toes. Or her toes. Take that however you want to.

SkipMagic and auntie em because SkipMagic’s amusing and auntie em is a sweetie. (She specifically invited me to a KC dopefest when I was an uber-newbie.)

tanookie because I admire people who turn crappy lives into good lives.

Gazelle because now she’s a tech writer too. (Congrats, Gazelle!)

CrazyCatLady and anyone else who’s partial to kitties.

Badge because a cop is a very useful friend to have. Kidding, only kidding. It’s because he’s an all-around swell guy.

And Fatwater Fewl because he made me think I might just know a very little something about poetry. I’m a sucker for a good ego-stroking.

I’m sure I’ll think of more as soon as I post this.

Too many to list here.
Most of the Aussies, ALL the New Zealanders, and a selection of others from across the water (Flammi, Zenster, Quasimodem et al), decent folks who have the courage of their convictions, and who call a short-handled earth relocation device a spade.

To have been mentioned three or four time in is thread is humbling, and just a bit silly. :slight_smile: Thanks guys.

Basically. Anyone who would be close enough and actually want to meet me.
