**Manda JO** has this habit of saying reasonable things with so much clarity. It makes me jealous, but in a good way. ---

Thanks for the compliments **Merc** and **jr8** - you are now my sig. And right back atcha both, you sexy hunks of men you. My compliment goes to **Enderw24** , who is intelligent, possesses razor-sharp wit, and has the best damn sig I’ve ever seen. I always read his threads and he’s never failed to make me think or laugh. Sometimes simultaneously. Whatta man. Fran ---

What a happy coincidence. I was just noticing what a charming addition **Legomancer** has been to the boards. We seem to share numerous interests, so I run across his posts frequently, and always find them eloquent and pleasant additions to the conversation. ---

His way with words, while managing not to be vulgar, is a constant source of joy for me. Example from [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=85028) > [@](#): > > Speaking as a Scotsman I can assure one and all that while some people born in Scotland may occasionally apply heathen sassenach sugar to their porridge, indeed even buy the accursed Ready Brek from Wm Low, NO TRUE SCOTSMAN DOES IT and any who do have their bodies flung from the highest point of Stirling Castle to be dashed to pieces on the rocks below, then torn asunder by eight wild horses while their bowels and entrails are splattered the length and breadth of the land. Then curried. Then cut into very thin slices and played frisbee with. Then left in a corner to be pointedly ignored for 120 years. Then buried with full Christian funeral, but with the eulogy to be _delivered in a sarcastic tone of voice._ Thanks! ---

I occasionally drop drive-by compliments in other tribute threads, so if I mentioned you in those, please consider yourself silently, telepathically mentioned again. I’m trying to abide by the rules, here, and stick with one and choose one who hasn’t been yet mentioned by others. I am sure I will annoy many by snatching away their choice before they could type it: **Duck Duck Goose.** I can always rely on her for sensible wit. That’s a killer combination. ---

**DeathLlama** , because I get to see his penis on a regular basis. ( 😉 beagledave) Seriously…DL is hilarious, patient, affectionate, freakin’ smart, well-read, insatiably curious, genuinely kind to strangers…okay, I can see people are making that gag-me motion, so I’ll move on. **Zette** has given so much advice and support, directly or indirectly, over the years. She is well-said, concise, patient, and honest. **Lizard** makes me feel pretty. 🙂 **Doobie** is energetic, positive, friendly, and outright fun! **Eutychus** and **DavidB** did me, and several of us, huge favors by starting _teemings_. I had started a frustrated writer thread just before its inception. Both men are literate, complimentary without being overindulgent, and give fair assessments of most any situation. **Stoid** is just a genuinely cool chick. Well spoken, open, honest, and intelligent. The list can go on, except so many people have changed screennames I don’t know who’s who much anymore. 😛 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Danimal \* > **MEBuckner,** you are a gentleman and a scholar, and probably a good judge of bum booze. And you are extremely knowledgable also and don’t distort facts. In the war against ignorance, you ought to be a general. Never let go of that Mark of the Beast! Awww, shucks! [sub](Actually, I’m practically a teetotaler.)[/sub] I’d like to be the first to point out that **tomndebb** and **bibliophage** are both _true_ gentlemen and scholars, and both raise the tone of the SDMB immeasurably, and also do yeoman work in the never-ending battle against ignorance. And I don’t think I said it at the time, but bibliophage strikes me as just about a perfect choice for a GQ moderator. I also appreciate **Ben** ’s never-ending battle against the creationists. ---

Mostly I smile or snort a few times when I read something funny here. But **LNO** ’s “my rage burns with the fire of…” threads had me giggling like a schoolgirl! So clever and delightful! I’m a pretty devout Catholic, and it gets my goat when I see people trashing Catholicism based on some ridiculous ideas they’ve picked up about Catholic doctrine (e.g., thinking every time the Pope speaks, he speaks _ex cathedra_), so let me say: **tomndebb** , you have _great_ responses. Not only do you really know your stuff, but your tone is consistently calm and respectful. I’m glad you post here. **Ukelele Ike** , I am quite impressed with the breadth of your knowledge of literature. I mean…wow! ---

**Francesca** , for being my best friend. **Mauvaise** , for being my _other_ best friend 🙂 **MamaHen** , for her radiance and sunshine and happy thoughts. **monster** , for being a fantastic lady to talk with over beers. More to come, when I’m fully awake 🙂 ---

\*\* Zenster\*\* - thank you sir. You make me blush. as for me, (trying to keep w/the OP of not mentioning folks already mentioned) - I don’t think I saw: **Kimstu** one of the most sane, and polite debaters we have (on either side of the spectrum). I’d have tacked on more, but want to let others have fun as well. Assume that if I’ve ‘chatted’ w/ya off the boards it’s cause I think you’re too cool for words!
