You gals is the bestest! OK, let’s see here… I believe **jarbabyj** puts on big stompin’ Doc Martens and goes out slam-dancing every weekend. I believe **Javamaven1** has the power to instantly turn any man to Jell-O through a devastating combination of transcendent gourmet cooking and mind-boggling flattery (those waterfalls are hard, though…can I interest you in a Whirlpool?). Geez. I gotta get back to work. Y’all sure are making it hard to concentrate today (and every day, but that’s another matter entirely). ---

I think: **wring** has fallen for my disinformation campaign. (and she should stop trying to make me blush) **scylla** should really only be experienced in person. Preferably with a freshly tapped keg. **DavidB** hasn’t been around as much as he should. **Collounsbury** is a marquis with some _very_ strange rules. **Democritus** once plucked his eyes out in a garden so that beuty would not distract him from his quest for beer. **Ukelele Ike** looks _just like_ Tiny Tim but with better teeth and better hair and better hygiene. **eve** is the classiest broad I’ve ever not met. **kabbes** would beat me at scrabble, but I could take him at cribbage **LNO** should teach anger management seminars **Gaudere** once saved the world from an alien invasion, but she doesn’t like to brag. **spiritus mundi** will [never](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=77006) get to play with the other dopers. ---

I believe that **Superdude** drives a champagne gold Dodge Omni hatchback with a wannabe spoiler on the bottom edge of the rear window. He also has a pet beachball named Jimmy. I believe that m’dear Katie - **sk8rix tx** - was the subject of a medical experiement that involved combining his DNA with that of a small lizard - resulting in the half-gecko, half-doppelganger **Gekiganger** - indistinguishable from the pre-experiment Katie, except that he now has an extra-long, sticky tongue. ---

I believe that **Mercutio** wears a codpiece, even on Sundays. I believe that **Fenris** is the reincarnation of Groucho Marx. I believe that **Ginger of the North** wears plaid all the time, and is always ready to hand out hot chocolate laced with peppermint schnapps. I believe that **tomndebb** lives in a cave on a mountaintop, seeking inner peace, with a psychic link to a damn good research librarian. I believe that **Biggirl** will drop by and kick my ass, should said ass need kicking. I believe I make far too many generalizations. ---

For now, suffice it to say that it involves some nakedity (no overt sexual activities, however…) on a beach in Guam during a recent vacation that I was NOT on! I’m covered for a few indiscretions, as long as they don’t go too far, of course… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by FairyChatMom \* > I believe that **Bumbazine** would never argue about picking up the check in a fine dining establishment. That’s assuming we could find a fine dining establishment that would let me in. I believe **FairyChatMom** is a demure little lady who has secret fantasies about being a pirate, and would fix everybody a nice sandwich before making them walk the plank. I belive **Screech Owl** sneaks about the countryside on weekends, capturing wild Muscovy ducks and taking them to a secret research facility she has set up in a huge nondescript warehouse. I believe **Zenster** is really the crown prince of Denmark who is required to secretly live amongst the common people for ten years before he can rightfully assume the throne. I believe **Ukelele Ike** really _does_ wear a straw boater and red-and-white striped jacket, all the better to seem innoculous as he secretly disposes of bodies from a rowboat in Central Park. I believe **Euty** is a tall thin holy man with straight black hair and a goatee, who is able to levitate at will. I believe my meds are wearing off. ---

I beleive that **Zenster** should have participated in the last Iron Chef thread. I missed him. I believe **Gaudere** looks fantastic in a string bikini. I believe **He Who’s Name Shall Not Be Spoken** posts under another identity. I believe **Manhattan** received payment from **HWNSNBS** I believe that several of our most flirtatious female posters are really men. I believe **Davidb** is so skeptical because he’s in denial of his paranormal abililties, and is unable to accept the responsibility to use them for the good of mankind. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-i-firmly-believe-about-posters-i-never-met/71246.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-i-firmly-believe-about-posters-i-never-met/71246.md?page=8)
