Ummmm not a dude, I’m thinking. Very cool though.

No one here reminds me of myself much (heck, I still feel like a newbie), but on occasion **Rilchiam** has said something that sent one of those shocks of recognition through my brain.

The only penis I own is my husbands.

Just don’t tell him. He still thinks he has a deciding vote around here. HAH!

Thanks man. I’m in a bit of a slump right now. My damn hobbit hole turned into a shed, and the only thing going for my back yard as of late is the tree office. But I’m going to drop my webber in the stone counter out back…so if you ever find yurself in CT, steaks and cold beer are always abound.

BTW…the main reason I can do fun building projects is that I have a very understanding Boss…_ **Mrs. Phlosphr** _ 🙂

Sn\<insert appropriate number of Os here\>py’s (_ **NOT** _ to be confused with SnoopyFan’s) humorous posts remind me of a younger, funnier me.

By the way, that’s supposed to be a _good_ thing…

Thanks! 😃 I find you to be kinda cool, too. Did an male, English porn star fondle your butt while your pals took a picture, too? 😉 Now, that’d be downright _spooky_!

When I see a **Phlosphr** thread, I pretty much say to myslef, “What is he doing to his house now?” Which is pretty much what I say about myslef.

And the range of projects is about as unique as mine. One day he’s laying tile, and later **Phlosphr** he is outside wreaking havoc.

I’m office bound and he’s a teach, so I think it’s therapy to be building something concrete rather than abstract stuff all day.

I find that in his posts, **tomndebb** always expresses exactly what I would like to say–especially in religion debates, which I rarely venture into.

I also consistently identify with **Captain Amazing** ’s posts on art and culture, and **Chefguy** ’s on European travel.

In fact, I still owe **Chefguy** a “thank you” (or should say “obrigado”) for his suggestions about my recent trip to Portugal.

So, thanks, **Chefguy**.

I often find posts by **Otto** , **Dooku** , or \*\*vibrotronica \*\*that say exactly what I was going to say, or beat me to the joke I was about to make. I don’t know if they’re \*like \*me, but I think we’d get along.

I forgot to mention **Miller**. Another Doper whose viewpoints consistently mirror mine.

I think that **NoClueBoy** and I are enough alike to be great friends if we knew each other IRL.

I’ll buy the first round even. Of beer. Or other libations. Not ammo.

**Diogenes the Cynic** is _way_ to my left on economic issues, but I tend to agree with him on social stuff.

**John Mace** is to my right on most social issues, but I usually agree with him on economic stuff.

Such is life as a contrarian. Common ground to all three of us: not religious; and lots of boring information.

\*\*Old music is, of course, more important than any of the above crap. \*\*

**Eve** reminds me of an older me.

You know, when I’m all smart and funny and sophisticated and stuff.
