Pretty sure I’ve gotten it wrong in the past as well. Sorry. You’re always gonna be the guy who got turned down by one of my favorite musicians, even if it isn’t true. ---

Reposting my entire list from the other thread (which was limited to people who’d already posted in it, and I missed a ton of _them_): > [@Rate your own popularity on the Dope.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rate-your-own-popularity-on-the-dope/520153/116): > > I put 50+. Not that I’m terribly _popular_, but I have a really, really long name, and I post in most of the forums, which makes a big difference. > > I figured the easiest way to determine whether or not I “know” you is to post my mental flash card for you. So here are my mental flash cards for people who posted in this thread (and for whom I have mental flash cards). > > **bucketybuck** : Irish. Funny. May be thinking of kambuckta, but he/she is Australian. Fuck, I forget which is which. > > **kidneyfailure** : name familiar.

Well, except Vikings fan, veteran, incurable liberal, former pothead/hippie, married, lives in Minnesota. > > **DianaG** : Likes to have a lot of sex a lot. Does not like people infringing on her right to have sex. Seems like she might be the old loud lady double-fisting gin and tonics at the bar, but is probably not actually old.

[QUOTE=Heart of Dorkness] Also, Really Not All That Bright: From the UK, but lives in the US. Often more conservative than me, but I’ll allow it because he’s cute and witty. [/QUOTE] Well, the first part is right, but as to the rest, you must have conflated me with someone else… :o Some more- **Heart of Dorkness** : Not related to **Left Hand of Dorkness**. This caused me much confusion. Girl. Thinks I’m cute and witty. Clearly, has dangerously poor judgment and should probably be locked up for her own protection. **Sleeps with Butterflies** : Small, blonde, cute. Photo whore. Can be a bitch. Registered nurse. Does not like children. Possibly my female counterpart, except the blonde and cute parts. More to follow. ---

Let me see what I remember: GFactor - best mod ever, i think. Digustingly reasonable and fair. And I know him off boards, somewhat. He puts on a rather…different persona here. 🙂 Shirley Ujest - author of the most terrible, terrible puns, that make me wanna cry. RNATB - Indian ancestry, from UK, though I am somewhat confused about the whole thing. I think there is more to it, like half Indian maybe? Antinor - a really nice guy who posted the “Ask the Gay Guy” thread that I participated in heavily, also answered some questions on gay couples in PMs for me. Rick - A guy who has twice - TWICE! diagnosed my car issues correctly over the Internet Shakes did not use to be crazy, I believe he is crazy still. DianaG - pretty much what I wished I could be when I was 23. IvoryTowerDenizen - my friend, and a complete sweetheart. Sleeps with Butterflies - I really like to stay out of her way, though she is often spot-on. Qadgop - other than no ‘u’, I know he loves to have people ask him about his name. blondebear is gay and that’s about all i know. chowder is Uk and doesn’t like gnomes and seems like the kind of guy to shake his fist and go “HEY YOU KIDS!” prr I chiefly remember from the whole Liberal kerfuffle twickster is a newspaper editor Bibliocat is a volunteer firefighter and a hell of a cool cal. Harborwolf - I think I have a crush on him and his wife - they’re both so sweet. Kyla - doesn’t she teach in Belgium or something? Skald is a friend off the dope, too. Bricker has gotten really really serious in the last couple of years. I confuse Argent Towers and the other AT guy - I think one of them is Jewish and the other is into guns. Shit, I’ve hardly even started on the MMPers. I know a little bit about a lot of people here. And quite a bit about a few more. Perhaps I’ll come back but now I have to go do some work! Oh, and there are other people that I remember negative things about. But I am deliberately not posting those…just not nice! ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > I confuse Argent Towers and the other AT guy - I think one of them is Jewish and the other is into guns. Jewish, and completely non-religious. Also into guns though the gun phase peaked last year and they’re pretty low on my list of hobbies at the moment. I don’t know if there’s another “AT guy” but there is **Agent Foxtrot** who drives me insane because I always see his posts and think for a second that they’re mine. It also drives me crazy that there are not one but two four-star generals here, **Wesley Clark** and **Curtis LeMay.** I always confuse the two of them even though they are drastically different. ---
