He’s been on this board forever, he’s witty, kind (except when he’s being cuttingly sarcastic to someone who richly deserves it), helpful, and oh-so-cute. And yet, he’s never had a “Weirddave appreciation thread”.
So here we are folks, a chance for all of us to let his weirdness know what a swell guy we think he is. Chime right in, and don’t be afraid to be effusive!
He was a wonderful dinner companion, a charming and affable drinking buddy and he deserves my thanks for helping me feel at ease in a room full of veritable strangers, himself included. He’s also someone I am proud to call “friend”. But, I think he already knows this.
Ah, yes, Weirddave - one of the select few Dopers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person. What can I say - how can I do justice - how does one express…
ummmmm
Well, I appreciate that he didn’t spill anything on me in the restaurant, and I appreciate that he didn’t dance nekkid on the table - not that the subject was ever broached…
Mostly, I appreciate that he was a hoot! I’m a pushover for a man who makes me laugh!
air kisses to Weirddave
Weirddave does indeed rock. He comes accross as a funny, clever guy. Here’s to you, Weirddave.
Fran
You know, in other places I have seen the world “wonderfulness” as a synonym for - er - female genitalia.
So am I correct in assuming that you mean Dave can be compared to female genitalia?
Are you calling Weirddave a PUSSY??
[sub](Fortunately because (as the OP states) Dave is a coolguy, I know he’ll not only see the humor but possibly actively enjoy this post…and that’s the best way I know how to pay tribute.)[/sub]
In the three minutes I have before I have to leave, let me try to sum up the essence of Weirddave:
He rocks. He’s one of the most caring people I’ve ever met from the town Cecil damned so very long ago:) His compassion for other people, whether a mile away or on the Pacific side of this nation, is incomparable to anything I’d seen before coming to this board.
In some ways he is a complete person. In all ways he is a complete friend. And I’m glad I’ve had the pleasure to know him.
Let me echo the sentiment that Weirddave rocks. After reading his posts on this board for so long, I have learned to set down my drink when I see that he has posted. I just wouldn’t be able to afford to keep buying new keyboards 
well, what really can I say…
he (and Punny, thank you too) helped me IMMENSELY through my family troubles
he tutored me in History over the internet for a while about WWII
he’s been an unconditional friend
he’s made me laugh so hard my eyes tear up
and as I’ve said so many times before, but never enough–
Thank you Weirddave.
Well, Weirddave is very straightforward, I’ll give hime that!
He’s also quite witty and on occasion, rather charming.
All indications point to him being a pretty great friend.
I guess all in all, he’s pretty cool.
In spite of the fact that he joined forces with Twisty to corrupt my 10 year old, he’s a great guy. 
I like him because he’s weird, and he’s like … Dave.
And he’s sculptured like Adonis and hung like a horse. I’ve seen the picture.
I’d like him a lot better if he wasn’t a “Dave”. His sexual prowess raises the bar a bit high for us “normal” Daves 
I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Weirddave, but I sure do hope to someday. From my encounters with him on this board, I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s a damn fine fellow. And I find the rumors of his sexual prowess…intriguing.
Dave? Yeah, he’s all right. He gave me a dead fish.
Sure, he’s pretty cool. Especially when he is shocking the pants off (no pun intended) of the people at the Pizza Parlor with stories of his racey life-style.
Gotta love anyone who likes Mary Prankster.
Of course, he hasn’t actually got up the nerve to go see her.
And I’m on a first name basis with her. (Actually, since that time I booked her I’ve been “Mr Wooley” to her. I guess being a patron has its perks.)
So Dave! When shall I take you to see the queen of mid-Atlantic cowpunk? First beer is on me!
I’ve been to two dopefests with Weirddave, one of them, where I sat next to him at a pizza place, but because of my anti-social nature, I didn’t really get to know him. However, he didn’t smack me around either time, or anything like that, so I consider him a prince among men…no, a prince among princes. Way to go Weirddave!
The man knows tomatoes.
Why, thank you, one and all. I am truly gratified, if a bit embarassed, by some of the things said about me here. If some of you feel that I have in some small way enriched your lives, well I was happy to do so. Y’all have certainly enriched mine. I was telling someone about this place the other day, actually it was going pretty well, she hadn’t given me “the look”. ( You know “the look”?-“I know them from online”. “What do you mean?” "Well, there is this message board community called “The Straight Dope…” THAT look.) And I said “Online or not, these are my friends, and I’m proud to know them.” Thank you all.
