I put 50+. Not that I’m terribly _popular_, but I have a really, really long name, and I post in most of the forums, which makes a big difference.

I figured the easiest way to determine whether or not I “know” you is to post my mental flash card for you. So here are my mental flash cards for people who posted in this thread (and for whom I have mental flash cards).

**bucketybuck** : Irish. Funny. May be thinking of kambuckta, but he/she is Australian. Fuck, I forget which is which.

**kidneyfailure** : name familiar. Possibly a dialysis patient.

**Covered\_In\_Bees** : thinks he’s a dude, in clear opposition to the majority of other posters. Posts about sex a lot. Kind of reminds me of myself.

**Antinor01** : Gay. Posts a lot in SSM threads, unsurprisingly.

**Hal Briston** : Has an adorable daughter. Possibly two. Didn’t fuck a sheep.

**Plan B** : Conservative. Argumentative. Actually pretty reasonable. Also, funny.

**Renee** : Hot. Married to another hot person. Artistic type - paints watercolors or tiptoes through tulips or something.

**Shakes** : Used to be kind of crazy. Changed username from all caps.

**Diogenes the Cynic** : I got nothing. Well, except Vikings fan, veteran, incurable liberal, former pothead/hippie, married, lives in Minnesota.

**DianaG** : Likes to have a lot of sex a lot. Does not like people infringing on her right to have sex. Seems like she might be the old loud lady double-fisting gin and tonics at the bar, but is probably not actually old. My kind of chick.

**BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed** : Has a name I always think I should recognize, from a book or somesuch

**ShibbOleth** : My favorite person in the whole wide world. Except myself.

**MeanOldLady** : Sort of like DianaG, only black, although I have no reason to believe DianaG is not also black, come to think of it. Is owed a boat by me. Like me, spends the most time in the Pit and IMHO.

**jali** : Rings a bell.

**Shagnasty** : is from Massachussetts, but lives in Louisiana. Or vice versa. Something like that. Has gun. Possibly several.

**Chez Guevara** : English. Clever name. Posts in sports threads a lot.

**Qadgop the Mercotan:** Prison doctor. Has a doper kid who possibly no longer posts here - **elf** something, I think. Has many disgusting yet fascinating stories.

**Chessic Sense** : used to be \*\*IntelSoldier \*\*(possibly separate words or uncapitalized or something).

**Unauthorized Cinnamon** : has best name ever. Female. Owns a pair of crotchfruit. Friendly.

**NineToTheSky** : English. Father of IHaveHipposInMyGarden. Likes… war memorabilia?

**chowder** : old feller in Manchester or environs. Has irresponsible son. Probably generally found with copy of \*The Sun \*opened to Page 3.

\*\*Malleus, Incus, Stapes!: \*\*Female. Do not understand username. Feel angry because do not understand username. Is new-ish.

**IvoryTowerDenizen** : Female. Good at Feuds.

**MsWhatsit** : Kinda motherly, in a good way.

**mswas** : Unpredictable. Tends to swing back and forth in my estimation from “douche” to “good guy”, occasionally within minutes. More conservative than general population of boards in most areas. Massage therapist. Married.

**Rick** : Knows everything there is to know about Volvos, except not to buy them (just kidding!)

**WordMan** : Is into guitar. Posts in Cafe Society more than elsewhere.

**Shirley Ujest** : My second favorite person who isn’t me.
