**hopefool** , the more I see of you, the more I _like_ you! Actually, **Guinastasia** used to work at a KMart near me, and I must admit there were a few times when I wondered if I’d meet her. I also had a close encounter with lurker Doper at swordpoint. It turns out one of them is the guy who’s been trying to teach me fencing! CJ ---

Didn’t we have a couple of dopers who lived next door to each other and didn’t know about it until one of 'em mentioned a certain type of car? BTW, here a picture of some of the DFW area dopers plus Scotticher and Ringo. Maybe that’ll help you in identifying us if you ever see us on the streets.

I think every other male doper is my brother Drocky, actually. He assures me it’s not, but I don’t believe him. He’s the epitome of the typical doper to me. Otherwise, I don’t know, Eutychus lives on the other side of the bay from me and this being Rhode Island and all, that means I’ll never run into him. ---

You mean… but i… we had a bloody **League Against Dantheman** set up! We met at **noclueboy’s** underwater base and came up with a plan - we had action points and everything! We all left with things to do - **lel** was going to send the letters in blood, **noclueboy** was going to buy out dan’s local and turn it into a “theme pub” and everything! i can’t believe you all cancelled this project! For feck’s sake why does no one tell me these things?! Would it have killed one of you to send me a memo?! **kicks the half finished anti-dantheman ray** That’s three arsing months of my bloody life wasted on this pile of crap! What the hell am i meant to do with it now???! I put in so much time on this project my frikkin girlfriend left me. I even turned down an offer from Saddam to take some cut-price WMDs off of his hands because i was too bloody busy! Jesus H Christ. You lot leave me breathless you really do. Don’t ever come to me or my people for help again! You hear me?! bloody amateurs ---

Since I live in Europe I laugh at your paranoid suspicions. Ha, Ha, Ha. And it’s not that my eye starts twitching every time a Doper hasn’t put anything under “location”. No sirree Bob. _coughs nervously and looks over shoulder_ 😉 😉 😉 ---

Wanna hear a good story about offline meetings… I’ve posted it before and almost got caught. I am an instructor at a small liberal arts college (got the summer off for the first time!!🙂 in southern New England. I post at various times when I am in my office and such… One day I went into class, and one of my students who was in the front row, a smart lad I’ll admit, but not one to have a conversation with. He basically came to class, got decent grades, and that was it. This happened to be a psych stats class. So he waltz’s in one morning with _that_ t-shirt on. You know the one, the one mentioned above. I turned all sorts of red and could not really consentrate on teaching chi-square. The only thought that was going through my head was, “I can not let him find out my screen name…” Not for any particular reason other than I don’t want student knowing too much about me. It was bad enough posting that thread about “what to do with a student coming to class stoned everyday”… That thread had details of the classroom that anyone sitting in it would only need look around and they would know. Thankfully he did not read that thread, or maybe he did and just didn’t put 2 and 2 together. Regardless, I am only waiting for the day to have a student walk by and whisper…_phlosphr_…or worse yet…to write it on a paper. I can see it know. Psychological analysis of “Into the Wild” by jane doe. _ **Mr.Phlosphr** _ 201. AHHHHH!!! 🙂 ---

Well, there’s more people packed into tokyo than in any other city…and I don’t know any of them. Although several non-Japanese people who live in Japan post here, I doubt any of them live in my neck of the woods. However, when I see people posting from Queens, NY, I start to wonder if I know THEM, esp. the ones that say they work on/near Queens Blvd… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/know-that-doper/187576.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/know-that-doper/187576.md?page=3)
