Again, don’t ask questions, just do as your told. What I need is for you to send me an e-mail, subject “insane/user name”. (user name=your user name) Then, list all the dopers you’ve slept with/married, slept in the same room as, met IRL, spoke on the phone with, and exchanged e-mails/chatted/IM’d with. Try to be as accurate as possible, but don’t stress over remembering everybody (although if you forget the ones you slept with, you might be in trouble).

This is for my secret project. Don’t ask how, it’s too complicated to explain.

Follow my example when formatting:

Slept With/Married:  
None

Slept in the Same Room As:  
Cubby  
Thomas  
The Scarlet Pimpernal

Spoke on the Phone:  
Cubby  
Coldy  
Globe-Trotter  
ect.

Mailed/Im’d/Chatted:  
Globe-Trotter  
Cubby  
Coldy  
ect.

Make sure you spell/capitalize the names correctly! And yeah, you’re going to have to trust me on this one, but you are going to be glad you participated. And this is **not** limited to sig-contributors.

**tater** , you left out the category of “Met:”. As in which SDMB’ers you’ve met.

Thanks, Zennie, I thought I put that down. Okay, the order is:

Slept with/married  
Slept in same room (this sounds weird, but it fits in with the plot, don’t ask)  
Met IRL  
Phoned  
E-mailed/IMd/Chatted

Whew…this whole plotting thing is hard work!

We are on phase 3, where some can relax, but your poor tater is busy with lots of busy-making stuff. I’m going to have to push to get this done in time!

Now, I have showered and dressed and must go to the Hauptbahnhof, to complete item 3 on today’s to do list. \<—dat’s a clue, think, just why would tater have to go to the Hauptbahnhof. What could she accomplish there? Hint - I am not going to be taking a train.

Info sent, tater. Good luck wading through that mess! I am sure I have forgotten someone, though!

I have found the connection I’m looking for! I’m still looking for an even closer connection, but at least now I’ve got something.

And now, I really gotta go.

Mail composed and sent. I’m starting to think tater is either amazingly creative and vivacious, or totally whacko… Either way, I’m enjoying this! 🙂

Wouldn’t it be funny if I were using all this info to concoct a plan to **Live Forever!** and **Restore Foreskins!**.

Actually, God told me to do this, and after I’m done he wants me to leave the board.

I’d have to anyway, because of the bet I lost with Manhattan.

Plus, I’ve gained way too much information on this board, and that’s plenty for anyone.

I’ve even picked up some great personal hygiene tips!

(and yes, those were clues, but if anyone figures out what I mean by them, they get to take over as evil genius)

Yes but what is the focal point, lurker?

Don’t know that now, do we?

I’ll tell you this, the focal point has a Bacon rating of 4.0, but if you play by my rules, it goes down to 2.25. I had to change the rules because this is internet life, not real life.

Done. sheesh. I sure don’t get out much, apparently.  
By the way, **Tater** don’t think I didn’t notice that you gave away my toaster in the other thread { 😉 )

But it was 220v! What do you want with a 220v toaster? Unless you heard that it has a bun warmer…Chin up, maybe your Secret Santa will buy you a toaster!

Wouldn’t it be funny if I were your Secret Santa?

Not funny gay, funny ha ha.

Maybe I should have slept more last night, I tried, I swear! But then somebody called me right as I was just about there (you know, I was in the sleep sweet spot zone…that’s the best feeling, isn’t it?) and it took me hours to fall asleep. Then MisterTot came home right as I was in my SSSZ and I had to start over! Then it was time to wake up.

Now where was I?

Are y’all deliberatly sending me these 3 and 4 times, or is there something weird with my e-mail? It’s okay if you’re trying to drive me nuts by sending the same thing over and over again, but I just can’t stand not knowing!
