> [@Bumbershoot](#): > > Looks like Delaware is all that’s left on our list. I should have started one of those maps like some people have on the back of their RV, where they color in each state they’ve visited. Good job. I did this topic once (which is linked above somewhere)…another one I did long ago, but that may make for a good, UPDATED version would be “Let’s See If We Have A Doper Born For Every Day of the Year”. ---

Hey! Start your own thread! Just kidding- that does sound like a good idea for a thread, though. ---

Yeah I was about to say, Delaware was where I grew up too, surely that counts for something. Frankly, you don’t have to move very far to end up moving out of state when concerning Delaware…the whole thing’s only a 2 hour drive longways and 30 minutes shortways! ---

Still no one that actually lives in Delaware? That is starting to confirm my suspicions. ---

Back in 1999, we had a one-post thread asking for other [Delaware Dopers](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=16554). Apparently we’ve actually questioned [why Delaware exists](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=569594), and concluded that [it doesn’t](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=35621). There was a call for [DelaWare](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=103877) check-ins. We once checked if people had [ever stepped on Delaware](Have you ever stepped on Delaware?). We even had an “[Ask the Guy Who Claims to be from Delaware](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=413773)” thread. In the second thread, **andygirl** said lived in Delaware, but hasn’t been active since April. There are references to Dopers **Tranq** , **hedra** , and **epeepunk** as living there. Then I got tired of searching. ---

From her profile, **andygirl** ’s location is now listed as Massachusetts. And as **Digital** said, she hasn’t been active since April. I found two Dopers who list their location as Delaware- **Mallory** and **dubs** - and who have been active in the last month, but **Mallory** has no contact info and **dubs** hasn’t replied to my PM (or been active since Sept. 30). I sent a Friend request to **Mallory** in the hope that I could include a message, but that wasn’t an option. She’s probably wondering why this Bumbershoot guy wants to be her friend. **Mongo Ponton** ’s location is listed as Delaware; his/her last activity was in January of this year. A PM has been sent. I’m pretty sure Delaware really exists- I’ve even been there, or somewhere that claims to be Delaware. And why would any place claim to be Delaware if it wasn’t? ---

That old thread about Southern Dopers standing up and being counted turned out to be dead end for me just lately. I quit looking. Maybe we could ask Biden. Bet he’d lie too. 🙂 ---
