I’d buy drinks for lots of folks, and I guess I’ll have the opportunity this weekend. I don’t want to make a big list because I’d leave people out.

But if I had to buy a drink for one person right now, it would be **CrankyAsAnOldMan** , because she said really unexpectedly nice things about me in the Warm Fuzzy Thread and I feel exactly the same way about her posts! And, unlike Aglarond, she likes me for my brain and not just my rack. 😛

Cranky, I don’t think you are coming to ChiDope this weekend, but next time you visit Chicago, send me an email and I’ll buy you a drink!

Awwwww… I only opened this thread so that I could buy you a drink. Two reasons:

1. You wear your pants low on your hips, possibly sans underwear. (I just have to support this sort of thing.)

2. You cracked me up when you batted your eyelashes at me, in the same underwear thread. For some reason, the mental picture just made me laugh. (In a good way.)

So the first round’s on me.

**Oldscratch

Sue Duhnym  
Democritus  
Doobieous  
Psycat90**

Becuase I actually _owe_ them drinks from the “Omni’s Shiny White Ass-Fest” in SF.  
And then I’d buy more drinks for **Sue D.** for that kick-butt party she threw in San Jose.  
And while I’m at it, I’d throw in a few rounds for **Zenster** and **Snooooopy** too, whom I met at said party.

Oy, I just checked out the SD People pages for the first time, and I have to add **oldscratch** to my list because if I didn’t know any better I’d swear he was my friend Tom. And besides, Demo said he’s “the shit” or “a cool shit” or something like that.

I’m not legally allowed to drink alcohol or buy drinks in the US. I don’t encourage drinking in any form because of personal experiences and other weird stuff.

However. If I did . . . crap, my list is entirely too long. But (duh) it’s going to include Palmyra, Brunetter, ssskuggiii, Jester (get him drunk and then head his ass over to the SDMB Presidential debates . . . make me look good, boy!), PB, and Falcon. Beyond that I won’t comment. I can get drunk without imbibing alcohol. Just get me near a restaurant.

Man, there’s nothing this board needs like another popularity contest.

I’m not buying drinks for anyone. I’m broke.

Hamadryad, you rock! You are my anti-flirting, anti-virtual-marriage, and anti-popularity contest hero.

Howabout a drink? 😃

Great, one person finally finds me drink-worthy, and its only because my name rhymes for a song.

I still appreciate it though, Twist.

I would contribute to this thread, but seeing’s how I will be in the company of a great many Dopers this Saturday and light on funds, I better just keep my yap shut.

Didn’t know I was considered queer. I guess I am a little strange, I do deviate from the norm and I sometimes make some people queasy…

Beer for all my board friends, mods and admins included. You know who you are so I don’t need to state who or why.

I’m not anti-flirting…I justrefuse to do it without provocation, and I hate it when people who flirt poorly make those of us with a gift, as 'twere, look bad.

I’m definitely anti-virtual-marriage and anti-popularity contest though.

You’re welcome to buy me a drink, but I don’t promise to enjoy it. 😃

Hamadryad, I’m with you on all counts still I think. Let she who is without sin cast the first stone, etc., etc.

YOU get to PICK the drink, by the way.

Everyone! But not all at once.

For those who imbibe, I would gladly buy you a beer, wine, margarita, etc. Pick your poison. Likewise, for those who don’t, I would happily purchase a Coke, cafe mocha, a glass of sweet iced tea, etc. Then again, not to name [names\*](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=42639), but there are some people here for whom I would buy a drink, just to pour it over their heads. I would especially like to buy a beer for UncleBeer. (There. Happy now?)

and \*\* Zenster \*\* (he said he liked me, twice!)

and the \*\* Lansing \*\* area dopers who are meeting for lunch some time soon.

but none, nary a drop for all those folks who thought I was male!
