Eve and Lobsang.
Reality has already made you scorchingly hot. What words from me would augment that which nature has already made manifest, you wicked studlet?
Diogenes the Cynic for his fervent debating style.
elucidator for sense of humor.
Qadgop, Una Persson and Q.E.D. for knowing so damn much.
Polycarp, for being superhuman.
SentientMeat, for being constantly well-informed and intelligent.
**SHAKES ** and spectrum, for shooting from the hip and sticking to their guns.
AWWWWWWWW… shucks! All this because I proposed marriage when I found out you could make red eye gravy. 
susan_foster, did I mention lately I like burly men? 
I wanna hoist one or several with you to vunderbob
chaoticdonkey I do not owe you money. And if I do, then I paid ya last week. You just forgot already. 
I don’t know if I should throw out any names cause there’s just so dang many of ya I like. However, there is my big time board crush, so I’ll mention his name.
Homebrew
Any time vunderbob. I’ll even buy.
I only have a small circle of friends on here (and getting smaller as they get to know me better) but still, two is just not enough. So I do hereby declare that I would be more than happy to buy a brew of their choice for any of the MMPers. And I’d just like to mention a couple of people here. One I don’t don’t see very often, which is too bad, 'cause he’s a really cool guy; Hometownboy.
And someone I’ve never had anything to do with personally, but have always admired from afar for her grace, wit, good humor, and common sense; TVeblen
Haven’t been a doper for very long, but I tend to enjoy postings from both lieu and miller . Funny people… I would also have to include N.Sane since she’s my sister and I just happen to think she’s pretty nifty.
Although you all have a place in my heart, I’ll go with my top Dopers in no particular order, and without elaboration.
Dead Badger
Mhendo (you were included before I read your kind comments)
Yosemite
Jodi
Some others I’m very fond of as well.
My commie buddies ** DTC, rjung, and Elucidator. **
Also
Hamlet, Coldfire, Sauron, Unclebeer, QTM, Master Wang Ka, and about 500 others, their names which I can’t currently recall.
Oh, and also pepperland girl because I tend to enjoy her comments on any thread remotely related to any type of Joss Whedon project.
Shodan and Bricker, good fighters, and usually right.
Eve, a fellow Florence King reader and movie buff.
Guinastasia. Though she be liberal, she is a fellow yinzer, and constantly entertaining.
Bricker, whose posts are invariably characterized by good sense and knows-what-he’s-talking-about-ness, and HeyHomie because it’s a kick to see him drag Springfield into so many of his posts.
Most of my short-list is already covered here, so I’ll try to drop in some new names along with the ringers.
**Qtm, Eve, QED, David Simmons, Una, Broomstick, samclem, manny, **, this board would be much stupider without your massive noggins clogging the transom.
Tuba, as always, thanks for the tireless efforts that you and the mods and admins apply, and for help when it’s needed.
I remember a single post from punditlisa way-back-when that put her on my all-time fave list. I’m not sure she’s still posting, but it was a doozy.
My numero-uno completely favorite poster: FORMERAGENT, a singular (banned) moron with an amazing capacity to believe that OTHER FOLKS would buy any line. That trainwreck was so funny I couldn’t fully comprehend the bizarre humor therein for years.
Crap, I forgot Broomstick, she totally kicks ass.
There’s a ton of people who I think warm thoughts about whenever I read their posts, but the names that spring to mind right this second are tdn and alice_in_wonderland. Funny and smart, which just enough spice to bring out the flavor.
Noclueboy, Master Wang-ka
I came back for more.
**Cowgirl ** and tdn, who both proposed moving in when I mentioned I could cook rotis real good.
**Aesiron ** is my favorite newly-met poster. We’ve been having some good chats lately.
**Broomstick ** - just because.
And Dex. Because he’s an all-around cool guy.

Wikkit - where has he been lately?
Wikkit is currently in a sticky over in the Pit.
That’s right. It’s a sticky Wikkit.
This is the only way I would get into this thread.
There’s not much that’s random about it- faithfool and Siege, for various reasons, come to mind as my favorites.
