DRY, may I recommend a great book? The Late Mr. Shakespeare, by Robert Nye. We’ll talk about it over drinks. 😉 If you keep throwing that Shakespeare around, you’ll gain: _A mother, and a mistress, and a friend, A phoenix, captain, and an enemy, A guide, a goddess, and a sovereign, A counsellor, a traitress, and a dear._ All’s Well that Ends Well, Act I, Scene 1, 173-6. ---

First a drink for my favorite moderator named after a cold tasty beverage. Uncle Beer----Here ya go. Next a couple for everyone who has made me laugh or cry or want to grow up and be just like them. And here’s a beer I spit in for the one who was was definately NOT NICE when it was uncalled for. And for all the rest who I’ve never heard of and have never heard of me (a cast of thousands I’m sure) come on over here and let us get better aquainted. Hi I lost my phone number, can I have yours??? ---

OK, Euty gets a drink for that! Also Chief Scott and Vestal Blue. ( And VB, those gallon bottles of oil you keep dropping on my house are ruining the roses!) And JTR for his post in the “Is it ever bad to be pretty?” thread (OK, I WILL learn to link, someday) And drinks for the happy couple, Anthracite and evilbeth, because I’m not a sore loser. And I’ll buy one for any gentleman willing to welcome me back to the heterosexual side of life! ---

So many, so many… **Euty, Lynn, Tuba, Manny, UncaBeer, all of 'em** : intelligent, funny-pissant heroes-in-the-trenches. **elelle, ChrisCTP, Shayna and Serendipty** : for warm friendship beyond my deserts: ladies, you rock! **Coldfire** : across oceans, the unlikely, undreamed pal who’s more real to me than folks at my shoulder. **Scylla, Zen, Mully, BornD, Demo, Anth and so many others** : I left out _so many_ names and voices; the SD crosswise, outspoken, opinionated folks who piss me off, amuse me and keep me thinking. Oh, bullpucky, I’m an “easy round”; I can drink Marines under the table but would would rather treat all these dear, infuriating clamorous voices in a toast rather than let dreary money moulder in my purse. –\>Exiting, names/voices/personalities echoing\<– Veb ---

All of the moderators here, because I’m a suck up and I also truly enjoy their posts. An extra one for John Corrado to congratulate him. One for Canadian Sue, because she’s such a great person to talk to, and I think I still owe her one. One for Ultress. Not only is she a lot of fun, but I could listen to her accent all night. Havoc and Smug, because I like them. Tatertot because she’s always great to talk to online (whenever I catch her, anyway). Esprix, because apparently he rocks. Better get one for matt\_mcl too, since they’ll be sitting together. Smeghead, because I like his Rimmer sig. Feynn, because he’s easy when he’s drunk. And probably a bunch more that I can’t think of this early in the morning. Maybe I’ll just buy a few pitchers and invite y’all to sit with me as I regale you with stories of my sexual prowess. ---

Should anyone think of buying me a drink…Please, no beer. Not even Canadian. Hate the stuff. One of your **fine** California Cabs would be appreciated though. A bottle of Silver Oaks, and I would be forever in your debt. ---

Some many to buy for, one limited budget… I’d start with **struuter** , just for the line: “screech–you are…(forgive me) a hoot.” And **Spider Woman** , for putting up with my bad puns in her garage sale. Worth a beer, at least. Cheers, y’all. _urp_ Can’t wait to attend a DopeFest to finally meet a few. ---

Spider Woman - just finished a Hornsby’s Amber Hard Cider (not as good as the cider we’d get from Cornell University, but somewhat acceptable). Cheers. ---

I would buy omni-not a bottle of 1993 Chateu St. Jean, Cabernet, or maybe a Peter Hacienda Pinot Noir. Cause omni-not was cool enough to request wine. ---

That’s awful sweet of you. I thought Chateau St. Jean was more famous for its whites. Must say it’s been a while since my last visit to the winery. Hacienda, I’ve heard, makes a fine Pinot. If you like Madeira, we could have a few glasses of Sattui (definitely up there with some very good Ports from Portugal), although a whole bottle in one sitting would probably be a bit much…😃 ---

How about a round for the house? And special mention goes to… Canadian Sue ( you must be getting tired of having coffee with me), Ultress (I think I owe you one), Havoc and Smug (just cuz), Odieman (I know what you do for a living), tatertot (being a mom is hard work), Spoofe (you crack me up), Satan and Drain ( because I musn’t leave out the dark lord and his consort), and I know there are so many more… For Lola… tequila shots. heh heh heh 😉 ---

Bartender! - A round for the house! Seriously - If I could - I’d buy everyone a drink. It’s all the posters on this board that makes it what it is. Double shots for CanadianSue, Lola & Feynn, Ultress and Havoc. ---

Yep. This board has brought me so much pleasure, it is just too damn hard to single out any one (or two, or a hundred) in particular. However, I would buy _really, really expensive_ drinks for the Mods & Admins, because they truly do rule. ---

I haven’t had a drink in 4 years! A nice cold Kahlua with ice would be nice. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-doper-dopers-would-you-buy-a-drink-for/37365.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-doper-dopers-would-you-buy-a-drink-for/37365.md?page=5)
