Today it would have to be MR Cynical and Monster. Just because they are the only ones who have committed to the mini “Denver Dopefest” this Friday at JD’s Bait Shoppe. (Shameless plug) Techchick, if you show I’ll buy you one too.

BTW, I got interupted with a phone call during my post…

I forgot to mention to Esprix that that was how I read his post initially and thank you 🙂

Oh and BTW, I will do my best to make it to the small gathering.

\< guess this means I need to attempt to organize another one I still feel bad \>

Anyhooo, if you come to Ireland and meet me/other Irish Dopers I’ll buy you a drink.

So that potentially means everybody on the board.

_ **BLUSH** _ Thank you everyone for mentioning me. I missed out on this thread earlier for some flukie reason.

I am a bit hesitant to mention any specific names as I know that I will leave out a whole list of people. Maybe if we had a thread of who we would like to get drunk and have take advantage of (Chef Troy and DCNewsman to name two among a few) it would be more fun. 8P~~~ (not sure how to make the tongue smiley but that one works better)

It seems I have a friend in Magdelene. I am glad someone finds me funny. I guess I will have to get everyone else to a point of drunkeness that they think I am funny, too. Anyone that actively likes me can chip in and we will have a huge party.

15 kegs should do it for us non-lurkers (most of the regs and occassional posters I have seen, with the exception of a few trolls who just caused trouble like con\*\*ete. Even Bjorn is ok in my book as he simply lacked adequate English skills rather than being a troublemaker.) All the lurkers around can go drink kerosine, clam, and egg-juice while they rot in post-Limbo. We can never love a non-poster. Speak up and maybe we could have a huge kegger afterwards. 🙂

BIG HUGS to everyone!  
Sqrl

PS. Iampunha, you can have a nice fruitacular coctail made from Cranberry juice, Orange juice, and gingerale. MMMM. 🙂

Actually, I think his actual words were “a little shit”. 🙂

Thanks Rasa. I guess I’d have to buy you a drink too.

Lessee, I’m going to leave a lot of people out but, here goes.

goboy…one of my 5 fav Republicans  
Scylla…for being trully interesting  
Esprix…for moving to CA  
BornDodgy…for her shaved pussy comic  
all the Bay Area dopers, really  
Satan…for trying to score a car out of the resurection  
zette…for making me laugh today  
cervaise…for being up on movies  
and hell, everyone that offers to buy me a drink, and about 90 other people who I can’t think of right now. The drugs, they play with the brain.

_Narile notes that this is a virtual realm, and goes out and has a olympic swimming pool filled with Guinness. He then finds certain select dopers and starts tossing them in the pool._  
“Enjoy!”

APB9999,  
That’s okay. We’ll get a table over yonder, and I’ll get the first pitcher.

Here’s to all us ‘non-mentioned’ lushes out there!

Well, of course I’d buy you a drink APB. After all, if it wasn’t for the quarter you gave me, I’d still be trying to make it home from the Boston DopeFest.

Some others I’d buy drinks for (assuming I had that sort of money):  
Coldfire, of course  
Techchick, 'cause she rocks  
All my fellow embattled libertarians  
UncleBeer, obviously  
TubaDiva, and all the other mods here, I’d say I owe it to them  
Mark Serlin, if the drink was hemlock  
sailor  
TwistofFate, who’ll always be John Larrigan to me  
Triskedecamus (and Lib, who’s included above) simply because I find his faith inspiring  
Falcon  
BornDodgy, if only for the cool British slang she uses  
ChiefScott  
SPOOFE Bo Diddley  
Esprix  
And about a hundred others

I think I’d buy just about anybody here a drink. No! Not all at once!

And since dragonlady mentioned me above (even if she was thinking of somebody else?), I’ll buy her two!

I knew I forgot about a hundred people! There is no way I am going to be able to name them all. You all know who you are!

I just want to say, however, that I cannot believe I forgot to include: Byz, Milo, Skummet, Falcon , John Corrado, Drain, ChrisCTP and pldennison.

If I didn’t put your name on this list, I either don’t like you or like you very much but cannot write everyone down and hope you understand. Most of you should know which category you fall into.

Of course, I still think that it would be great fun (although entirely impossible) to have one these threads called “Posters I want to smack the shit out of!” 😉

I’d love to clink a glass of Hagafen Cellers Cabernet Sauvignan ('96 or '57, depending on how you lean) with Dex and just sit back and listen to him pontificate.  
When I figure out Tom’s poison I’ll buy a case of it.

I would, of course, like to return the favor. Not only am I honored to be considered in the same class of flirt as ChrisP One Kenobe, but I’d gladly buy him a drink, as well!

Though, Chris, I take it you’ll understand if I save the really potent stuff for the beautiful ladies of the SDMB. [most notably the ones in my sig, and most particularly the former Carrie Nation wannabe turned lush-she knows who she is]

You know, just in case that Shakespeare shit doesn’t walk… 😉

As for males, besides ChrisP, I’d buy a beer for anyone who’s knowledgable and a good conversationalist about sports, history, or Shakespeare.
