What are you having? And have you met Sweet Sue? She is very cute, and I’ll buy one for her also, if she shows up.

[Now that would make an interesting virtual wedding; Marcel Marceau could officiate.]

A drink for all my ChiDope buddies: Falcon, Silent Bob, Omni, UncleBeer, Gaudere, VileOrb (and jess), SaxFace, Milo, Jophiel, MikeG, boli, Magdelene, Omni (he drinks a lot), Inertia, GLWasteful, ShadowFox (but only a 1/2 a drink), Jeff42, Dropzone, Procupine (and another for her “little blue friend”), Omni, and whoever else i am undoubtedly forgetting…

And a BIG bottle of Captain Jack for our hostess ValerieBlaise (don’t call her Val), who I am smitten with in a way that would make baby Jesus cry.

I’d buy a drink for:

Arnold - because we can talk curling together en français;

Bricker - because we can talk comparative law together;

Tubadiva - because she puts up with us all;

Eve - because she’s neat. (I know, she only drinks non-alcoholic - so I’d be able to afford two drinks for her!)

ROFLMFAO!!!

I didn’t see this until a conversation on the phone with another Doper who told me about this…now your email makes sense.

\< snorting with laughter \>

Yes I have been known to snort when I am giggling too hard!

Now that I am off the phone, again, 😉 I 'spose I need to make a trip to Euty’s home town and have an infidelity fest in some sleazy motel and make his eyes bug out from the great sex we could have!

\< hehe \>

I will not get into the specifics…but yes I can make a man’s eye’s bug out from my hot body. \< did I really say that? \>

Hmph…I post answers in GQ. I proffer opinions in IMHO. I flirt, joke, and commiserate (or joke more) in MPSIMS. I stay out of the Pit so folks’ll think I’m a nice guy. What the hell does a guy have to do to get drink around here?!

Oh. Buy one for everyone else–sure, I can go for that. Even the trolls (assuming I’m allowed to prepare the drink myself…bwahahaha). I like damn near everyone I’ve encountered here on the Boards, and would be glad of the opportunity to get hammered (or hyper on caffeine if you don’t drink alcohol) in their company.

You really want a list? Here are a few, in no particular order:

1. The mods and admins–I have a lot of respect for 'em, even when I think their posts are dippy.
2. JimB, 'cause I said I would.
3. OpalCat, with whom I’ve never interacted in any way, but who just seems to belong here, somehow.
4. Palmyra, 'cause I said I would.
5. Falcon, for being Falcon. (How’s the job, hon?)
6. ChiefScott, Vestal Blue, and the rest of our armed forces contingent, for what they do.
7. Chronos, for his answers.
8. The rest of the DFW Dopers, because it’s convenient.
9. Satan, for the bragging rights.  
10)The rest of my fellow neopagans, for dealing with fanatical Fundies so I don’t have to.
10. DRY, Danielinthewolvesden, and Scylla for the deadliest game of [Dueling Quotes](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28125) I’ve ever engaged in.
11. Polycarp for reminding me that many Christians really are kind, decent, intelligent people.
12. All the lovelies I’ve flirted with (or tried to flirt with) in the hopes that they’ll be easy when they’re drunk 😉
13. Everybody else, because otherwise I’ll be typing all night…er, morning.

Well, when this San Luis Obispo DoperFest happens, I get a feeling I’ll be buying quite a bit of drinks… especially for the chat regulars like Doobieous, pricciar, and SeaDiver. Hell, _anyone_ who shows up to the SLO shindig is getting a drink from me. I mean it. Really, I do. Even if it means pulling out the plastic to pay for the drinks of 300 Dopers.

( you realize this is being typed after consuming about 3 glasses of wine. so this may be null and void by the morning.)

Subject to funding, there’s a drink on for any doper visiting Cairns or Port Douglas in Queensland Australia. It seems I’m the only one that actually lives here.

I live walking (staggering) distance from a number of good bars that look out over the crystal waters of the Coral Sea. Palm trees, tropical breezes and all that kind of stuff.

You know, every year I go to my queer sci-fi convention - anybody ever thought about having a Dopers convention? Like one annual gathering that everyone is encouraged to go to, from all around the country? And every year it can just move to a different city so more people have the chance to go.

Just a thought… 😉

I’d have to add all the Dallas dopers to my list as well…balance had a good reason, its convenient 😉

That and I liked these guys and gals!

I see no one bought me a drink…hmm…well, balance did, he put me in the Dallas group!

I’m popular…yes! I can die a happy man now 😃

No you don’t. Things are cool between us!!! It was just a misunderstanding that turned the two of us into a couple of hot heads. 😃

However, I do apologize for my end of the argument. How 'bout you buy us a couple of Long Island Ice Teas and the next round will be on me?

Silo - Soooooooooooooo. . . trying to get me drunk and take advantage? Shame on you!
