My buddy used to be **TN\*Hippie** , until he disappeared for 3 months and wasn’t dead. I gots me a couple of others that I won’t mention to save them from the embarrassment of being my buddy. ---

I think if I died in my apartment, the first people to figure out that something was wrong would be **quixotic78** and **CrankyAsAnOldMan**. If it’s this week, add **Hello Again** to the list, because she and Cranky and I are supposed to see Two Towers on Wednesday. All of these people would notice my absence long before my parents. ---

I used to have buddies on here…I don’t really talk to Airman or Muffinman either one much these days though. Does anyone want to take on the task of being Pammipoo’s keeper? I make some kickass cookies… (How sad is it that I have to bribe to get a keeper? ::sigh:🙂 ---

Well, since **Snooooopy** told me a few days ago that he thought I’d blocked him from my buddy list because he hadn’t seen me online in four days, I guess he’d know if something happened to me. There are other people that I talk to regularly as well: **lel** , **Tuckerfan** , **Spoz** (of course :D), **LeeJam** , **Kal** , **iampunha** , and **itallfizzestothetop**. (yes, there are the people that I’d like to talk to / email, but haven’t yet gotten the courage up to do so yet) F\_X ---

Ha! Half of my ‘IRL’ friends wouldn’t have any idea how to turn the computer on, much less post here… but as I’m infrequent anyhow–! Though if I had a buddy, I’m thinking single, male, maybe even in the United States… 😉 ::chuckles:: This mother only has a virtual life! **Pammipoo** , what kind of cookies? 😃 ---

Well, just about anybody from the _Enterprise_ or Firefly\* threads could be my buddies. I’ve noticed that even outside of those types of threads, we tend to bump into each other a lot, so our non-TV interests must be close to the same, too. FYI, I like long walks on the beach, dancing in the moonlight, and the utter obliteration of all other sentient lifeforms in the universe. And liquor. ---

I think this is a great idea. I’m a newbie here but think it’s a great idea for some other boards I frequent. Er…I’d be happy to do honors for another doper. 🙂 ---

I’m proud to call rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr **rubes** baby my buddy. He’s a formerly-four-eyed sweetie de la weetie. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/slainte-is-my-buddy-who-is-yours/141882.md?page=2)
