Being that many of us have been around here a while, have formed on-line and real life friendships, enjoyed certain other’s posts and posting styles, gotten in some great arguments, etc… What poster/s would you buy a drink for if you had the opportunity? (Being that a good size chunk of us meet at gatherings, you may end up buying whom you mention a drink if they attend ;)) Me: Cecil Adams [sub]or is that Ed Zotti?[/sub] (well I gotta mention him first since he got me here and has entertained me with his articles) Techchick (we’re buddies and know each other too well…I already bought her a drink in Vegas :D) Satan&DrainBead (a nice friendly pair, I have enjoyed their posts) A handful of people in General Questions (whom, a.) nail posed questions often, and b.) know their stuff) Neuro-trash grrrl (even though she hasn’t been around for months, she is one of my favorite posters, and, given the opportunity I’d buy her drinks all night :p) Everyone who went to the Vegas gathering (I was the winner in Vegas so I should have bought everyone drinks. I would’ve, but I won in the last instants we were there. Maybe next year ;)) Opalcat and Shayna (given both have made large contributions in creating doper websites) All the Administrators and Moderators that put up with me while I was trolling (–especially that Eutychus guy, whose forum I took over for a while ;)) Coldfire (very well spoken and one of the more diverse posters. If I visit Amsterdam, I’m gonna get high and pay 'em a visit :D) Diane (just to see what would happen afterwards…:p) aha (he has entertained me a number of times) Mr. Cynical (well I’m sure if I bought him a drink he’d buy me one too ;)) Whammo (bet he’d be funny after a few brews…) Esprix (good poster, and hey, doesn’t everyone wanna buy him a drink after the exhaustive “Ask The Gay Guy” threads) …A number of the SD-ladies Others: Falcon Evilbeth Anthracite TwistofFate I know I’m missing a handful of people, so if you meet me at a gathering and I buy you a drink, you can say “hey! You forgot to put me on your list!”) ---

Well, so far it looks like I’ll be well on my way to getting smashed! I cannot possibly name everyone but since I know people look at these threads just to see if their name is mentioned (is that bad grammar or what?), I will make a short list: Silo–just to show him that I completely sincere about thinking he’s really a cool guy. Palmyra–for letting me officiate her virtual wedding! That’s what receptions are for! tatertot–for just being really cool, amazingly friendly, and quite a conversationalist! Here’s to ovulation! purplebear–for hugs and support and being a great person. Satan–do I need to give a reason? He’s great! Euty–because I think he is cute and wonderful! Homer–actually, I think Homer gets enough to drink but I would really like to meet him! Crunchy Frog–has had a not-too-great year and he deserves a drink! TwistofFate–for saying a wonderfully nice thing about me in another thread–I really appreciated it! Coldfire–because even though he denies it, he’s a legend! Kricket–because we have alot in common and she deserves a drink with the year she’s had! There are many more. I’ll be back! ---

I’d definitely have to buy DRY and Chef Troy drinks and lots of them. Those guys are smooth as glass and veteran flirters. (that is, if I was old enough!) ---

} \<----- It’s a beer. } for Satan, just for being his bad-ass self. } for Coldfire, for just generally being legendary. } for tiggeril, because she cyber-proposed to me and she’s going to need to be drunk to deal with me. } for Shirley Ujest, for being my running mate in the SDMB presidential election. } for Crunchy Frog, so he can deal with the fact that the NLCS didn’t turn out the same way it did on his Playstation. } for mega the roo, just for the Man-Pickle thread ---

Short answer: **everyone**! That’s right, if you’re a Doper and we meet up IRL, ask me to buy you a drink and I will. I’m easy. Longer answer: **Satan** , for being such a great conversationalist. **David B.** , for his cogent, well-articulated defenses of rationalism. **Mullinator** I’d buy something very potent and borderline toxic, in a desperate effort to stunt his growth. **cmkeller** , for being a fellow veteran of the Compuserve Comics Forum. **Polycarp** and **Triskadecamus** , for being so patient with us snarky heathens. **Five**. Hell, I buy myself drinks alla time anyway. ---

Thanks, **Silo**. My short list? All my queer buds - **Sqrlcub, lissener, goboy, techchick** and anybody else I just forgot (you know who you are, and so do the rest of us). Every single frickin’ Moderator and Administrator - one on me, lads n’ lasses. **Wally**. {sigh} **Doobieous**. 😉 The two het boys I have _such_ a crush on, **SkySlash** and **ChrisP One Kenobe** , just to watch 'em squirm. 😃 And last, but certainly not least, my _paramour au francias_, **matt\_mcl** , _mais bien sur_. 😉 Anyone to whom I have ever said, “You crack me up.” 🙂 I’m missing tons, but it’s a start. Shirley Temples all around, barkeep! Esprix ---

So many . . . **little\*bit** in hopes of getting her tanked and trying out that rolling around in the blacklights thing 😉 **Tally-Ho** for being so kind as to boost my ego by being my virtual stripper-mistress **Shayna** cuz she’s been a good friend since I’ve been here **purplebear** and **evilbeth** for being nice to me **Coldfire** one of my favorite posters on the boards **Homer** a fellow Missourian and maybe I can get him drunk enough to start another monkey butler thread. Can’t we re-open that thread, mods? PLEEEASE!? **Zenster** another of my favorite posters **yojimbo** , **tatertot** , **Stoidela** for their kind emails **aha** has made me laugh out loud more than once **Satan and Drain Bead** the coolest couple on the boards **Rachelle** who says she got me drunk and took advantage of me. Time to repay the favor 😉 **all the mods and admins** and last but not least . . . **CECIL ADAMS** maybe if I got him drunk, he’d finally welcome me to the boards! (I haven’t forgotten, you know! Plan C is still in the works, I’m just looking for the right child to exploit) ---
