Gender coyness went out with Boy George and the late Carol Stream. I’m male.
So, now we’ve got a chalk outline with broader shoulders and narrower hips.
M,I,S! is confused. Sorry.
You adopted your abused niece. Your sig used to say something about “Brought to you by the Queen of lubricants”.
You’re also hot.
And you’re the Sarah Fimm fan, and I need to listen to the new album so I can post in that thread that you keep bumping and I always say “I have to post in that thread” but I always forget and it slides off the front page immediately and I just keep forgetting. But I do think Sarah is wonderful!
Do I detect sarcasm? 
I don’t post a fraction as much as I could/want to. I routinely skip opening/reading entire threads because I know I may not be able to contain myself.
Wow, now I know you because you know me!
I know many of you by your cats, because of the video I put together.

Yes, you need to buy the album. I don’t know how many, if any, of her other albums you have, but it’s on par with her earlier work, and is much better than the previous two, which I found a little wanting. It may be an album of remixes and B-Sides, but it’s just as good as any real album I have.
I like to think I’m to Sarah what you are to Happy, and I actually sort of like that I’m the only person who has posted to a two or three year old thread with five posts in it, but you will certainly get a chance to post in it again, whenever she next releases an album.
IIRC, he’s in Israel at the moment, but has been traveling on different work contracts for a while. He doesn’t post all that often these days.
Argent Towers - Has bizarre but interesting views on things. Possibly arrogant or just very confident about his views?
**olivesmarch4th **- Awesome poster with insightful things to say.
I Have Hippos In My Garden - Nice girl going through tough times.
Mississippienne - Hardest name to spell. Changed my life by suggesting a service program.
Q.E.D. - (RIP) Lived up to his name more than any other poster I knew.
Diogenes the Cynic - My favorite skeptic.
Sleeps with Butterflies - Possibly cute? I don’t remember.
Illuminati Primus - Always reminds of me National Treasure (the movie) just because of the name.
ShibbOleth - Sounds like a Jewish food item?
Anaamika - Indian. Conservative. Outspoken.
Wesley Clarke - Military guy? Always reminds me of Tom Clancy novels.
Quasimodem - Very lovable man going through way too much.
Stranger on a Train - Name always makes me think of Eternal Sunshine for a Spotless Mind.
Opalcat - Always makes me think “I know this name, but I’m not sure why”. Including this time.
ShirleyUjest - Can’t ever take her seriously.
Reply - Did I seriously post this?! Why don’t I remember?
Anaamika’s… not really very conservative.
WormTheRed moved to the Giraffe Boards.
Well, the word does come from a passage in Judges.
And that article is here to stay. It’s got an 18 thousand year copyright.
I laughed when I read that.
and the literal meaning IS “grain”, so in a sense it is a Jewish (or Hebrew word for a) food.
That’s one of the reasons I like etymology- you start off with a weird word, follow it to another langauge, and you find it in a strange Biblical story most people haven’t heard of.
I wonder if anyone remembers me, especially the FF leagues.
Yes, CarlyJay is my sister. She’s three years off the cruise ship, though, and I am proud to report she’s presently taking care of my new 7-week-old niece.
In addition to the Nashville area Dopers that I met a couple of years ago at a Dopefest, there are a number of Dopers that stand out as a part of our community that I feel that I know on a first name basis.
Klondike Geoff- Oldest (?) member, climbed a mountain for his 80th birthday.
Nava - Spanish Doper who makes international moves, gamer
Colibri- “Hummingbird”, bird expert in Panama

Der Tris- Exxtreme atheist and liberal
Skald- Fellow Tennessean, makes me giggle
Sampiro-Southern humorist with a Faulkneresque family, college librarian, gay, dog lover
Rick- SoCal car expert, can make me laugh with his one line responses
Hal Briston- Established that he doesn’t “do” quadripeds, husband to a surrogate mother, father to the Littlest Briston
Silenus- SoCal high school teacher who wears Hawaiian shirts, true to his namesake, he eats, drinks and is merry
Oakminster- Funny southern man, likes casinos, firearms, football and True Grit, but not necessarily in that order
crazycatlady76- Crafter, cook, locovore, vet tech in eastern KY, married to Dr J

lynn bodoni- Admin in DFW, Italian
Johnny L.A.- Now in WA, I want to be invited to dinner at his house
Gary T- Auto mechanic in the heartland
There are more, but these are the ones, right off the top of my head, that if they are the OP or the last poster in a thread, I’m likely to open it.
Drain Bead: public defender and fairly recent mom. Past is past shit so that’s what matters.
Creaky: dresses cats and is an attractive young woman. Thin no matter what she thinks.
Nzinga Seated: one of my favorite posters and has some very tolerant views despite ignorant stereotypes, cool taste in music
Jali: tea lover and wish she’d post more here again. She came to DFW once and I really wanted to meet her. Reasonable
Stoid: legal difficulties that makes me as an attorney cry
Guin: pretty girl with issues that keep her stuck with parents, rumored huge yabos, posts in the pit a bunch
Wring; very fond of bad tv which is a good thing
Tdn: 90% of his threads involve hitting on women
Yams!: always pleasant and taught me about prehistoric creatures day.
Lezlers: went through law school as a doper and now practices in CA. Had relationship problems, but fell in instant love and I hope it worked!
Ruffian: Pet lover, back problems, new kidlet and I think I’d like her in RL
Argent Towers: too fond of bad cars
Muffin: always makes me smile
Quasi: I think I was snarky to him a long time ago. It involved notes he kept at home from medical work. I still feel bad about that.
St. Germain: a softy for animals who needs to find her prince!
Lissa Lissar: I think she’s the one who used to post about working in a museum, got grief, stopped posting for a bit and now posted that she’s 7 months preggers. Congrats!
A lot of my favorite posters don’t post any more.
And, uh if you want to have a snapshot of me, life moves on and you grow up. Think of me as a partner at a lawfirm, 2 kiddos and a workaholic!
And to clarify, the “ignorant stereotypes” are posited or posted and Nzinga responds calmly. She doesn’t have any that I know of.
