Is it just me, or do you find yourself thinking about various dopers throughout the day? For example today I went to H & M (clothing store) and I thought about the time me and **The Scarlet Pimpernel** were almost thrown out of there for photographing the clothes. I was most gratified that the one of the objects of our derision, a black and grey knickers set for men, was marked way, way down on the clearance rack. Which led me to think about **Spiny Norman** who was also at our little get together, even though he skipped the shopping part. I definately got to get down to Hamburg one of these days. So, I leave H&M and go wandering down the Haupstrasses and look into this shoe shop, which has a list of it’s store locations on the window. Amsterdam is listed…hmmm wonder if **Coldfire** buys his shoes there? They look like something a banker might wear. Thinking about **Coldfire** reminds me that I still need to make hotel reservations for **DubDope**. Better make a note to e-mail **John Larrigan, Yohimbo, or Ruadh** to see if there is a particular area of town I should stay in. Oh yeah, better suck up to **Coldfire** in the hopes that he’ll bring me some Stroopwafels. And whatever happened to **Moosie Girl**? She was supposed to come. Then I go to the toystore and look at all of the smurfs and playmobil figures which reminds me of my favorite couple the **Bagfuscariasts** and resident gay rodent **Sqrlcub**. If I ever meet them, I’ll be sure and bring them a few toys. Finally I go home, and what should I find in my mailbox but a postcard from **a girl**? Would you people please get out of my head? It’s getting crowded in there? (this doesn’t even mention the hot lovin’ I got from Mr. Tot tonight which was inspired by either **Athena** or **Chieffy**. But that was more in his head, not mine) ---

Coldfire usually wears [Van Bommel](http://www.bommel.nl/) shoes, and YES, he’ll bring you some stroopwafels 😉 ---

Woo Hoo! Now hows about bringing them to me dressed up in Dutch folk costumes? And a few hundred grams of pepper gouda would be nice, too. 😉 I’d offer to bring you something but what does Germany have that you could possibly want? So…I guess the lack of response to this thread means that I am the only one who thinks about her fellow Dopers at random times throughout the day. Well, me and **iampunha** , that is. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tatertot \* > **(Drivel about unimportant posters edited out) 😉** You mean, after all I’ve done for you, you make a post mentioning about 40 other posters, some of whom aren’t half as close as we are, and you don’t even mention me? Sheesh. ---

FWIW, **DRY** I thought about you all night last night. Re: Your e-mail, why do you always want to know what I think first? Ack! Now I’ve got to wait! How unfair. ☹ And what are you doing on this board anyway, when you are supposed to be over at my boards signing up?? Grrrr. ---

And how can you mention **Diane’s** erotic dream about you without mentioning my _nightmare_ with you in it? Why does she get to be in your sig twice, huh? And you wonder why I feel so unloved. ---

As to mentioning her dream, but not your nightmare, did you have to open your damned big mouth? That was supposed to be our secret! I mean, what if the other guys on this list find out that you had a dream about me, and just as things were getting hot and heavy, I couldn’t get it up…[sub]oops.[/sub] :eek: Hey guys! It was Tater’s dream, not mine! Ain’t nothing wrong with Mr. Snake! :mad: ---

**John** I already know the answer, after she totally freaked me out by appearing in disguise on my new forums. She’s a naughty one that **Moosie** is. [quote] Many. But I only have one favorite.\*\* And that is? ---

Oh, one thing I do insist though, is that my favorite be able to spell “INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR”. And not misspell “lasagna” as “lasanga”. ---

No, that was the other super-moderator who did that. 😉 Oh, damn, I really need to get some sleep. And why can’t you spell it lasanga? la san g having j sound a. Excuse me, I have to go to the “i hat spelin mokry” thread. And what do you mean your interests are “Diane”. Ha! Bet you thought I wouldn’t spill the beans to all the rest of your women, did ya? That’s what you get for being a Spel Mokr. 😛 ---

Hey tater. I know the feeling. I check this damn board almost as soon as I get up in the morining. That’s what I’m doing now? About Dublin - you gonna be there at the same time as I am?? ---

That’s what you get for being a Spel Mokr. 😛 \*\* Oh, yeah. Saying that I’m **interested in Diane** is really going to be surprising, or damaging to my rep. :rolleyes: Matter of fact, it was the biggest ego boost I got since Michi, from completely out of the blue, put me on her favorite posters list. (By the way, notice how those two, _ahem_, actually volunteered things and made me look good. You know, BEFORE asking favors of me! Not that I’m trying to hint or anything…) Another poster, who I won’t name, actually tried to leverage me by revealing that I have a crush on Michi. Don’t you people get it? Having a crush on Michi, really digging Diane–these things are frickin’ status symbols to the men on the SDMB! I’m not going to receive censure–I’m going to be praised for my good taste! Now, if I said I had a crush on **Tatertot** , well, that’s just too _perverted for words_! ::fleeing:: ---

**Trion** , I’m trying but right now the babysitter situation isn’t looking good. ☹ My husband might not even be able to make it because he might have to go to school. If he doesn’t wind up going, I’ll go on ahead and leave a day or two early, just for you and the Mrs. And what **DRY** failed to mention is that he has **Diane** listed as his _one and only_ interest in his profile on this other message board. What a slap in the face to the rest of us who have been such kind and loyal friends to him! > [@](#): > > Now, if I said I had a crush on Tatertot, well, that’s just too perverted for words!

- you just saved my day! And yep, you’ve crossed my mind once or twice as well. You just come visit me in Hamburg, and I’ll be more than happy to arrange the guided tour of this relatively wicked city - though I’m completely worthless as a shopping guide. And I suppose I’ll have to decide about DupDope PDQ - you wouldn’t happen to have any tips about cheap flights ? Hugs, S.
