Extreme trivia: Be a Doper Yenta

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Okay, enough chaos and muddling around. First there was the Favorite Posters thread, and now there’s Who Ya Wanna Date. Some folks have been swamped, others left out, and confusion holds sway.

This is not high school. It’s a BB, and one that aspires to intelligence, social conscience and a hefty dose of hormonal mischief. So what we obviously need are Doper Yentas (or babas or whatever): matchmakers who view the situation with a gimlet eye.

Some matches are perfect and extant: Chief Scott and GBS, Chris and Neobican, Drain and Satan. Others are open for discussion. Matches need not be permanent, just promising. If someone wants to create a scale for lust=growth experience, have at it.

But let’s apply some scientific method here. Have at it…

A tentacle that’s bound to be hacked…

UncleBeer and Byz

OY! The twirling…

TVeblen and Ukelele Ike (this opinion could only come from someone who’s met both of them.)

That’s all I can think of…summon Boli, the Chuck Woolery of the SDMB. She’ll be able to put together a few love connections.

“…being normal is not necessarily a virtue. It rather denotes a lack of courage.”

I’ve been summoned! I am now here to help any lonely and wayward Dopers find their true love. For a nominal fee, of course…

Ahh, the stories I could already tell! But, discretion is my middle name.

First off, the mock-engagement of ValerieBlaise and Alphagene needs a gentle prod. Or a hard shove. I’ll work on it in chat.

Secondly, Falcon seems to have a thing for MaxTorque, judging from the “Posters you would like to date” thread. Hmm…I’ll be giving that one my all too. Might be tough, but I’ll try.

If you know of any other fledgling relationships, let me know. I’ll do my best, as the “Chuck Woollery of the MB”.

Well, I think Phaedrus and…uh…
Never mind.

So will you be providing the Matza ball soup to everyone?

I ** hated ** that movie. Barbra Streisand as a jewish boy?

Uh, Milo? Wrong movie . . . .

Oy, gavalt!

Milo, you know from nothing. You’re such a nudnik, like who could believe.

Go rent Fiddler on the Roof already.

boli…might be tough? How??? :wink:

“You are sweet, kind, and considerate… Like a grown up boy scout with tits!” - Brian, aka SDMB’s one and only Satan.

11

Falc - go back and read that line. This time, load it with as much sarcasm as you can muster.

Jeez, I was just trying to be discreet!

12

Boli -

I assumed damn near everyone knew already…that’s why I was so amused by that comment! Hell, people who never come into chat knew! waves to Melin

13

Better to err on the side of caution…far be it for me to expose your romance!

14

Uh, Melin? I was kidding.

::Breaking out into song as the orchestra swells…::

Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match!
Find me a find! Catch me a catch!
Matchmaker, matchmaker look through your book,
and make make me a perfect match!

::Bed spins, dream sequence starts…::

::Veb smacks Chief Scott upside his head with a trout to make him stop singing::

You people are just not taking this in the proper social-engineering spirit.

Okay, I think GuanaLad and Michelle would make a great couple. They’re both good looking, shy, sweet people.

Now bear with me, but Eve and UncleBeer could have a nifty Hepburn-Tracy zing.

See? ::sighs:: Now howzaboudit?

I just can’t believe that someone thinks I’m perfect for ANY carbon-based life form.

All i can say is I’m glad that there are at least two people who think differently…

Yer pal,
Satan

18

sigh Satan honey…make that three. You know I think you and Drain are the cutest couple!!!

As for who to set up…after being in chat the past few nights, hell, let’s set up Democritus and Doob! grinning, ducking, and running

TVeb:

Nahhhhhh…I’ve met both Eve and UncleBeer. Can’t see it nohow, noway. It’d be more of a Bette Davis/James Stewart matchup than a Hepburn/Tracy thang.

Satan and the Horta (silicon-based life form)
Chris and Coldfire
kellibelli and Doc Fi (though very different, I think they’d complement each other – like apples in your salad)
Opal and Nickrz (a little wild, a little conservative)
Falcon and Bj0rn (she could slap a little more sense into his head)

Just off the top of my head.
