Thanks **Totoro** , right back at ya with the **Only Doper I Know Personally**.

I’d also like to nominate **Zenster** for **Doper Who Scared Me With His Threats and Strong Opinions** with his response to my initial grafitti thread.

Note to self: Try to remember the names of more Dopers whose stuff you liked…stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Uh, no, Totoro. I have you by 940 or so. I’m the Faceless Poster.

You most certainly may. I think I lead everyone in ppd, ppm and I’m pretty decently up there in terms of overall post count.

_thinks_ 16.54 ppd, 504.5 ppm, scheduled to break 3500 on January 3.

And that post count is down from 18.xx, where it rested for several days a few months ago.

You can have my vote, but only if I can be your second in command! I have yet to be seen (unless you count those pictures on the post office wall 😛 )

I don’t count them, because you’re wearing the mask in  
them. BTW, $2500 bounty is an insult.

```
As far as I know, you're the #2 on the list. (uh, should I rephrase that?).

Well **Miser** , as you can tell from every single other response you got in your [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=53296), I wasn’t the only one who felt pretty strongly about. I believe more than one moderator felt compelled to comment as well. If you’re really hot to tag something, why not start with your monitor screen.

I’ll definitely nominate you for **The Most Poorly Thought Out Thread Since Freak Freely**.

For most hypnotic use of smilies, it’s at least a tie. Check out **Enderw23** ’s post at [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=864746#post864746)  
thread, it is a definite neck and neck candidate.

I am obliged to make a quintuple nomination;

**Duck Duck Goose**  
**purplebear**  
**Scotticher**  
**Silver Fire**  
**Spider Woman**

Known from this point on as the **“Gang of Five”** sweetest posters on these boards.

And finally, **Sue Duhnym** for being **The Best IRL Hostess**.

[sup]PS: _SUE_, IF CREATING RESOURCES AND ORGANIZING EVENTS DEFINES A “SELF SERVING SIG” THEN I CHEERFULLY ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION.[/SUP]

Gotta go to fnord for that one. He started a thread for ChiefScott that consisted solely of smilies.

“And finally, **Sue Duhnym** for being **The Best IRL Hostess**.”

Gotta nominate **falcon** for that one. And no, she didn’t make me say that. She’s busy getting even more drunk.

D@mn **punha** , that’s hard to argue with. I can only hope that you drop by the Superbowl Party Thread that will come from **Sue** ’s. It’s going to be a blast. She and her husband do things exactly the same way I try to at my parties, and according to **Doobieous** , I’m a pretentious food snob so that must mean they clear a higher bar. I mean no disrespect to **Falcon** in any way shape or form, but it can only be a photo finish.

Pretentious food snobs . . . after four years of boarding school food and two of college cafeteria food, the only thingks I won’t eat are liver and meatballs. And bivalves, but that’s only because I might be allergic to 'em.

Maybe falc and sue can share the award with Chef\_Troy.

Temporarily silent doesn’t mean forgotten:  
**Chief Scott** for Toughest, Randiest Outspoken Poster.

**Shayna** for Warm-hearted, High-Minded All-around Girl-Friendisness.

Same for **Diane** ; where are you??

For Wistful, Funny, Durable Survivors: **BornDodgy, Welfy, hypergirl, GuanoLad, Wyldelf**

For Quiet Folks Who Keep The Place Vital: too many to mention, but always necesary; you keep the place runnin’, okay?

Oops. That’s what I get for replying before I read the whole thing. I’m not sure if that’s better, but I guess I had better accept it too. 🙂

YAY, andygirl remembered me!

So, of course, I have to nominate myself for something. Actually, there’re a couple.

Person least likely to be missed when real life takes her away from boards and #straightdope for two weeks

Person least likely to be emailed more than twice by anyone on here

Person least likely to ask for a cup of water on the boards if her head was on fire

Person who puts up the best front

Person most likely to turn a self-nomination post into a pity party 😉

Naw, naw, naw…just pre-coffee pre-cigarette malaise.

Can I nominate **weirddave** as person most likely to have a decent comeback when a total stranger bursts in the door and says, “Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?”

Um, if I accept my nomination for the Gang of Five, does it mean I have to wear a baseball cap backwards? [insert worried face emoticon]

And do I have to make those two-handed poking motions in front of my body, you know, whaddatheycallit, signing or marking or signaling or studding or raising or stressing or dissing, oh heck I can’t think what the word is.

Or is it a Chinese Gang of Five? Are we going to have to wear padded Mao jackets, and stand on a balcony and wave to the Teeming Millions? Oh dear, I think I’d prefer the baseball cap and the poking motions, actually. Even if _le tout ensemble_ does include fourteen pounds of tasteless gold chains.
