I see that our Dutch friend, Coldfire, has started one of those dreaded “most popular” posters threads. Okay, since I know that I’ll never get mentioned, I’ve decided to create this alternate thread for us regular folk to gather and commiserate. So, if you’ve never made on of those top posters lists, if nobody ever talks about you in their IRL meetings, post here. As a bonus, the first five posters to reply get to be my favorites (its as good a selection process as any other I could think of). BTW, this thread is _not_ inspired by any lingering bitterness I have left over from high school. No, that’s not it at all. 😉 all. 😉 ---

Dang, that was fast! And Coldfire, you are persona non grata here, shoo. I _was_ going to visit you in Amsterdam this Spring, but since I didn’t make your silly list, I’m afraid that I shan’t be able to make it. (Unless of course, your offer of Stroopwaffeln still stands) Since there was way more than five of you, I’ll just pick the first five who haven’t made it on anybody else’s list yet. Hey…I made somebody’s list!! Listen, gang, it was great hanging out with ya’ll, but their calling me over at the popular kid’s table. Listen…I’ll call ya, okay? 🙂 ---

Well, here’s my hang-up left over from high school: I so despised the vacuous, giggly, hair-tossing cheerleader brigade that I could imagine no worse fate than to be like them and, thus, popular. Now I keep an eye on the “Posters I Love” threads, but frankly feel a small satisfaction that I am _not_ on anyone’s warm fuzzy list. I’m not dissing “the cool kids,” many of whom I like, but I see no reason to aspire to be one of them. ---

I just threw this in so my thread would have more posts than Coldfire’s. Not that I’m competing with him or anything… ---
