In praise of Dopers who don't normally get praised

There, there, dear. You had a brief fliration with the dark side, and now you’ve returned back to the side of light. We welcome you back with open arms. And parentheticals are not a sickness! A friend of mine once told me, “You speak (how should I say this?) parenthetically.” Ended up cracking us both up, enough so that I remember the line twenty-five years later.

bah, missed my cue…

carnivorousplant is smart, fantastic and probably the all around sexiest doper there is.

Well, he’s certainly the most elephantine.

Stranger On A Train, matt, QtM, John W. Kennedy, FriarTed, Exapno Mapcase, although I guess they are all A-listers.

Reading WordMan’s posts makes me want to learn to play guitar.
And if there’s anybody on the planet funnier than Sampiro, I haven’t met him.
There are a slew of others, too, who do not come to mind at the moment. Your time will come, though, oh yes.

Oh, yes, RiverRunner is the smartest and sexiest guy around. And perfectly shameless, too.

I just popped in here to praise Rick. What a helpful guy.

For us people with common user names (Joey P, Rick, Gary etc…) searcing doesn’t bring up any useful results.

Ditto for anyone whose user name is also a word. No vanity searches for me! :slight_smile:

This is what I always say.

This is an MPSIMS style thread. (Not just because it’s in MPSIMS).
So that means it’s going to attract MPSIMS-type people.
So the regular contributors in GD, the Pit, GQ, may not always get mentioned. Because those people don’t often enter threads like this. So they don’t always come in here and mention each other.

:: Checks thread to make sure he is still forgettable enough to carry out his plan without undue suspicion ::

:: Fails to see his name ::

:: Rubs hands together gleefully ::

:: Ducks out, giggling ::

Goodwin had that second law, you know:

“As a poster-praise discussion grows longer, the unlikelyhood of a mention of yourself approaches one.”

I had to add at least one more. Zoe. She has said things that carry the finality of my mother. Words so true that arguing is of no use.

I love you **Zoe. ** , and the others I have mentioned. You reduce the hate that fills my heart into the nothingness that it deserves.

I can’t tell you how much of my life I have spent battleing that which has threatened to destroy me.

My most heartfelt thanks to all.

P.S. I almost got banned but choked back my hatred. It was a real battle here where words are the only means of expression.

Be sure, in real life, I show my love for all.

Words can never comprimise my heart.

I always enjoy reading whatever Ivylass and Hippy Hollow have to say, and I appreciate the way Shodan and Bricker manage to disagree with most of the board in a pointed but polite manner. I may not agree with their political views but their manner of posting makes me tend to at least give their thoughts serious consideration.

Autolycus, Siam Sam, Sampiro, Ginger of the North, Mr Dibble

Of course we do! (And Pixel is actually the only one behaving right now. Damn ten year old pieces of crap.)

Antinor01 is a great guy, and it’s really too bad (for me and other single ladies) that he’s gay. And taken.

Freakalette - we read each other’s Livejournals too, and she’s funny and quirky.

Asimovian - also a hell of a great guy, if a little too obsessed with sports and bowling. =^.^=

MadPansy64 - I complained that I was going to need a new job, and she recommended someone. Who I haven’t called yet, but that’s not the point.

I still wish some of my other internet friends would give in and sign up.

I always thought Marley23 was a genuinely nice guy. Always seems friendly and cheerful, even when he has to deliver a mod smack.

And I wish Master Wang Ka would come back.

I read that as “A Mod snack

That’s possibly for the best. Last time I did one the results were rather depressing.

Is that when he has to pass out the apple juice and animal crackers just before naptime in mod kindergarten?

Wow, really?

I am genuinely surprised, I thought I had gone under the radar the last couple of years.

FAIL.
