Well, I seem to not be the only relatively new person on the board, so I figured I’d post something like this up here for us to be silly in. What do you want to know about other dopers, and who? Myself, I’d like to know things about all kinds of people, including where to find pictures/homepages/whatever, how old you are, where you’re from (and who’s in the NYC area, anyway, so I know who’s near me?). In particular - Gawd, Singledad, DB, Notthemama, and anyone else who wants to answer. 🙂 -Elthia talk to me, baby! ---

It’s much more fun to have people talk about themselves in an interactive sense than just to grab it from places. 🙂 -Elthia ---

Pleasure to make your acquaintance, **Elthia**! If you haven’t already, check out [Who’s Who at MPSIMS](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=21053). Lotsa of stuff you want to know about your fellow Dopers (as well as some stuff you didn’t!). 😉 ---

For example, your contribution means I can start asking you questions - like… have you found a job yet? What have you done lately? What’s Tahoe really like? That sort of thing… it was meant as an invite to conversation, not just a request-for-info. -Elthia ---

Okay, if it’s a “how mundane are you being right now”, then I can win this one. Slouching at home on a Wednesday night watching the end of Barcelona vs Valencia on the TV, wondering about getting my washing out of the machine to hang up. ---

Mattk: You have quite a web page. Do you have anything else to do? _grin_ You’re only a few months younger than I am, what are you doing with yourself these days? and WHY POLITICS? 🙂 Mr. Cynical: _SMOOOOCH_ better? Poor widdle thumby-wumby. _pet_ Want some cran-tangerine juice? 🙂 CanadianSue: What’s a Blizzard from Dairy Queen? Biggirl: I’m currently IN Jersey City, but I spend most of my time when not at home in Manhattan. I don’t drink in public very often, though… what else do dopers do together? Argeable: Uhhh… yeah. Riiight. _blink_ I have a four-year-old who’s worse. You can’t out-obnoxious him, so don’t worry about it. _grin_ -Elthia ---

How 'bout if I just spill the beans about some of the New Yorkers; would you find that helpful? Ukulele Ike - He’s really a Caribbean pirate and comes complete with peg leg and parrot. The U.S. Coast Guard took his sword away from him though, so he’s pretty harmless. Arghhhhh, matey. Manhattan - His true name is Manny Peoples. He sleeps at a bus terminal under the men’s room sink and spends his day filling his wobbly-wheeled shopping cart with pointed objects and dead ppgeons. Rudy Guliani is his uncle. Eve - Eve’s nom de guerre is Flora McFlimsey and believes in past lifes she was Lucretia Borgia, Ellery Queen, Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus and Zona Gale. No one has yet had the heart to tell her that Ellery Queen is a fictional character. SaxFace - Although SaxFace is very female (and extant), she is the true-life model of the Simpson’s character Bleeding Gums Murphy. You can often see her shooting nine-ball on the professional women’s tour shown on ESPN. When she’s sober that is. I’ll search my archives and see what else I can come up with about the NYC’ers. ---

Nice to meetcha. I’m pretty new here, just trying to keep from pissing too many people off, and reading lots 'o good stuff. Work is good, (no, really) I mostly tinker with supercomputers. Right now I’m looking at the latest processor technology which is as yet not released, new OSs and new memory due to come out soon (for Intel based machines). Can you say “Geek”? Gotta have a drink some time soon though… Thanks for starting this thread, light-hearted, and very telling about the nature of the board. Nice place. Sili So this is the Dining room ---

It’s difficult to carry on a conversation on a message board. Feel free to chat me up any time on ICQ (#423201) or in #straightdope on IRC. You can also look at my web site. I really don’t talk much about myself there, but you’ll see a lot of things I find funny and/or interesting, and get a little peek at my mind from that perspective. [My home page](http://home.att.net/~lhamelin) I’ll be 37 in August. I live in Colorado, in the 'burbs near Denver. I grew up in Brooklyn and went to High School in the SF Bay Area. I’m very happy in my job. I’ve been here two years now, which is only a year short of my record. My grandmother’s in town though, and I’m having fun spending time with her. I had a fun time at the Denver Doper Debauch last Saturday. Never been to Tahoe, sorry. Anything else you’d like to know? ---

Geeks.unite()! I’m a programmer in woodland hills (san fernando valley, near/in LA, CA). Um… 22… male… getting married in July… Ok there’s the basics.
