I was on my very own “Predict the Death…” thread the other day when I realized… I know how many cats these dopers have. For some of them, I even know thier hair color. And yet I don’t know the first name of anyone here. So come forward, all the dopers who have come to know each other in the past months, even years since this good message board was founded, and sound off. Hello, my name is Julia. Who are you? ---

My first name is Dale, but nobody has ever called me that. It’s a shame, really, because I think it’s a lot less dorky than “Larry.” ---
