Here is a fun idea:
Matchmake two dopers that you think would be a great couple simply based on their posting style, words, grammar, time of day they post, temperment, language, Etc.
I have to think of a pair at the moment, but have at it. IM sure ya all have some wonderful combos.

Well, skipping the obvious already coupled up…
Hmmm…, that’s hard. **Silo** and **aenea** ain’t gonna work…
I dunno, maybe **Homer** and a car part to be named later?

Ukelele Ike and TVeblen are the first who come to mind. Everyone else I know has either already hooked up with the **right** Doper or it seems as though they will. 🙂

[Coughing loudly to make his unattached presence known, Stuyguy reminds everyone of his penchant for slender, short-haired women.]

What’s up with the style? I have no idea. I just like it short. I had it the same way three years ago.

Congrats, Roo. You’re now officially at the top of my crush list. And I don’t even have a short-hair-thing, I just like girls who look artsy. You win.

Ms. Roo: Don’t think that your charms – short or long-haired as they may be – have escaped my notice. Your “new Roo doo” is merely the pretty ribbon on an already irresistible package. I would be pleased and honored to be matched with you, if some third party Doper would do the honors.
(BTW, if I recall, you want a cow. Well, NYC is teaming with them these days, albeit mostly painted plastic ones – and one real one that recently escaped a Queens slaughterhouse, much to the amusment of the local press. Give me the word and I’ll rustle you up one.)
PS to Portnoy: I wept when I read you had changed your name. End of an era. But, hey, it’s your business, not mine. BTW, congrats on the little one.

“Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch…” I dunno who I’d go best with, so match me up, people.

Well, since I have a penchant for stating the obvious at times:
**Falcon** and **ChiefScott**. 😃

I have to return the favor…
Since everyone (wrongly) thinks they’re ALREADY married,
**purplebear** and **pipefitter.** 😃
