I only made one list. Can I whine too? Maybe I’m just not prolific enough.

Aha, you’ve made my list more than once. What are you damning everyone to hell for? Sheesh! 😉

I don’t get on the lists either. Well, I made a few guys crush lists, but that was because of Sassy, actually. _She_ took the picture of me that appears on the People Pages, and ended up making me look better than I actually do!

I can’t damn anyone to hell anymore. Several Dopers actually showed up at my house on Saturday! That makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside. Of course, I could just be hung over.

List, schmist. I certainly don’t need to be on some silly list to feel good about myself. No siree.

Right? Anyone? Anyone?

Damn you all to Hell for leaving me out!

Well, no one ever noticed me either…

(but then again maybe it’s because I don’t deserve it… there’s nothing particularly special about me)

aha, you were on MY crush list! Jeez! You’re also on my:

Favorite Aging Rock Star List  
Favorite Guys Who Got Cecil To Say Hi To Me List  
Favorite Shameless Beggars List  
Favorite Guys Who I Wish Had Taught Music At My School When I Went To School List  
Favorite Guys With Really Short Usernames List

But I guess _my_ lowly opinion doesn’t count for diddly anymore. Wah!

I’m not on any list. I tell myself it’s because I’m too new to have gotten noticed yet, and that’s OK, but that excuse is only going to be good for another couple months.

**mojo57** : get this, a few weeks ago we were at a picnic playing Giant Soccer (i.e. soccer with a 4-ft-diameter ball) with a bunch of little kids. I was the last person taller than 4 feet to be picked. Sigh.

Hey Persephone! You’re on MY list! How could you not be after that great party???

Of course, Mrs X is at the top of my list.

Aside from all that, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! I’M NOT ON A LIST!!!

\<sigh\> At least you can type very quickly. I’m terrible at that.

If I used a sig, I’d ask if I could appropriate that for it, Veb.

I’m the original wallflower. I get ignored my diseases. Women run screaming from me. Kids avoid me. Cats and Dogs slink away. Plants wither in my presence.

Oh well… at least they say Hi on IRC. I mean, techchick talked to me once. 🙂 And all the others. They said hi. Doesn’t that count for something? Really?
