I know tribute threads can be annoying, but not this one. Because it’s for Biggirl.
I loves me some Biggirl. She never fails to make me laugh. She just had a line in the “Ready for Kids” thread about knowing she was ready for kids when she was dilated 10cm. Heh heh. snort
I like how she can skewer a bad argument in just a few lines, and with humor.
I haven’t met her, but I also hear she’s one hell of a dancer. She’s one of the major reasons I’d love to go to NYC for a NY Dopefest sometimes. I mean, there are dozens of wunnerful NYC Dopers I can’t wait to meet or see again, but Biggirl has a special place in my heart.
I’m no good at tribute threads generally, but I can get the ball rolling. Those of you with better gushing skills, thread-linking propensities, and personal knowledge of Biggirl, well, you know what to do.
I’ll third this thread. Biggirl has had many a post that I’ve thought was great. In most cases I didn’t get a chance to respond for one reason or another. (I’m not Mr. Prolific Poster.) I think the one I regret letting pass the most was the one about not being very good at the video games she likes - a sentiment I can relate to easily.
In a written medium, folks can easily misunderstand, misconstrue, etc. and get hurt feelings. There was one such incident 'tween us, where she didn’t even want to go into it, 'cause she believed that it was water under the bridge or some such, and knew that generally speaking friends and all that.
I perservered (I’m pretty damned stubborn) and we happily discovered there was a misunderstanding. I was happiest tho’ 'cause she allowed us to not only get beyond it, but to get into it.
I had long admired Biggirl, but this thread turned me into a devoted fan. Like I mentioned in the “Welcome Zoltarb” thread, I keep a list of her one-liners.
Yea, me too. In this world of delicately tiptoeing around something for fear of offending, Biggirl has the intelligence, presence and bluntness (in a good way…) to come right to the point, whatever her point happens to be. I’ve only attended two of the NYCfests, but found that positioning myself near her meant I’d be constantly amused. It’s rare to find someone who is so much fun both in print AND person.
Wow. Look at all this Doper love. Well, let me chime in and say that I admire the way Biggirl can get folks straight on this here Dope message board, and I hope to someday meet her too.
You like me! You really like me!
When I become a multi-billionaire I’m gonna have the world’s biggest Dopefest. I’m gonna fly dopers in from all the corners of the Earth. The only stipulation would be that all must dance on the bar.
And don’t worry. I’ll save just enough money so that, when we all wake up Sunday afternoon in jail, I can bail us all out.
I’m new here but I have also thoroughly enjoyed many of your posts - thanks for the wit & humor Queen of Sheba? I can believe it. In the name of a Dopefest, I’d dance on the bar.
Absolutely gets highest ratings on entertainment value! I go to any post w/ her name on it cause I can’t wait to hear what she says next!! You could have a sitcom!
