Mental shorthand for posters- A memory game

Devorin-male, late 20’s early 30’s another poster that doesn’t make waves. Types with an accent.

Anastaseon- female, nothing jumps out at me, but I know she is well regarded by other posters, there is a camaderie, might be part of the MMP brigade, or one of the women ones.

But you didn’t do it recently on the board, did you? There was a thread not too long ago talking about it, but it wasn’t you. If you’re not gay, I apologize, but most of the bears here are.

**Omi no Kami ** probable male, remember the name, but rarely in the threads I see. Not inflammatory or political.

Oh, no honey, totally gay.

It was last year, I assume I posted about it.

Resume light-hearted game!

Very good! Jeez, have you been taking notes or something? :wink:
(Although I’m not married to danceswithcats, but we are a couple. And he is a contractor.)

That’s all correct. What sort of accent do I type with? I’ve never heard anyone say that about me before.

Cardinal fan that enjoys harassing hard-working, kind-hearted Yankee fans whenever the opportunuity presents itself. :wink:

Perfect place to say this.

You watch Bollywood flicks, and you once made a comment about your current inamoratas that had me crying with laughter. I still remember the comment, generally…I do remember how funny it was though.

Red Sox fan, actually. I like the Cardinals and enjoyed it when they won in '06, but I grew up an hour and a half north of Boston.

No such creature exists.

:smiley:

I found it!

Tee hee!

I think you’re thinking of ForumBot?

(I have a soft spot for lanky blond guys with interesting piercings and boyish faces… so that kind of thing tends to stick out in my memory :slight_smile: )

I’d suggest someone do me, but given that I’m somewhat new and not all that active, it might be too much of a challenge.

Yes, I’m a Tolkien geek (Elendil was a great King of Men in the distant past of Tolkien’s Middle-earth). “A more general geek”? Yeah, OK, fair enough - I guess my love of history, vexillology, Monty Python, Sherlock Holmes, Star Trek, and Hellboy probably qualifies me. But I’m a dude - otherwise, I’d be Elendil’s Heiress.

Whenever I see Mahna Mahna’s name I always follow it with a “d’-dooo-do-do-do…” (and a smile). Don’t you have a cat?

I know several professions of the professional-but-unemployed (i.e., those whose posting habits makes it obvious they can’t actually have a job). Bricker, Anthracite/UnaPerson, DSQ, Quad, etc.

I know our resident conservatives-Bricker again, John Mace, Mr. Moto, etc., but I try quite hard not to notice/remember/track the political leanings of most posters – such artificial perceptions tend to get in the way of the poster’s actual intent.

We have our regional experts, John in Saudi, China Guy, etc.

As I’m writing this I didn’t realize just how large this list could get—and that’s just the heavy-hitting ten to twenty thousand postcount posters (where do they find the time?!). There’s also the chefs, the programmers, the mathematicians, the auto mechanics, the just-this-side-of-trolls, the crafters, the knitters, the musicians… the list goes on and on, and certain names are associated with the categories.

Anaamika is one of our resident experts on things Indian I believe, and I’ve always thought she was a she.

I’ve always thought of myself (and other lurkers) as the sand that makes up the SDMB beach. Sure, you notice the old rowboat, the pier, the dunes, etc., a lot more, but the beach is mainly made up of sand. None are all that distinguishable in their own right—but get one in a sandwich, an eye, a sandcastle, or make a keepsake, and the grains stand out.

Rhythmdvl is a percussionist (I seem to recall something specifically about West African percussion) and a fan of first-person shooter games. He’s also involved in maintaining at least one website and may be a legal professional of some stripe (or at least has firm opinions on matters of law and jurisprudence).

I’m not sure how I got the impression you were a dudette…

Sadly, I’ll probably be back to thinking you’re a she in a few days. >_>

You’re not alone. I thought it was a feminine name too. :smack:

You’re right, fisha, about me not rocking the boat too much. You’ll rarely see me in GD or the Pit. I’ve gotten much more mellow in my old age :wink: and don’t get too excited about the small stuff.

I’m almost afraid to ask for someone to do me.

I always thought Elendil’s Heir was a guy. Tolkien liked softer male names.

I think you are on the younger side, college age probably. I think you are among the Furry or Anime crowd. You like cats.

Damn that is all I recall. Sorry about that.

STG also looks cute in a kimono (and owns a few), and seems to have an affinity for tigers and tiger-related things (duh) and Japanese culture as a whole.

Rhythmdvl, I do indeed own a cat. Or rather, two cats own me. :slight_smile:

Yeah, you do the kimono otaku thing. That’s all I can think of for you, but I know I’ve been noticing you a lot more around here lately.

Okay, do me. God, what a narcissist.
