Boozahol Squid PI: A great guy and mafia player, recently married, would rather live in Gotham than Metropolis.
There are others but a lot of them have been done above. Just thinking about Boozy though, haven’t seen him around in a while…
I’d love to know what “mental snapshot” comes to mind when someone sees my username: “guy who has to piss alot?”
The only one I have is “covered in bees” which always makes me think of a photo of a guy wearing a beard of bees.
Well, I know you’re Jewish. That’s all I’ve got.
Well, I’m bad with names—this is bad enough in real life, where I’ve even gotten my uncles’ names confused a couple of times, but on an avatar-less message board where I’m likely to either be skimming or so wrapped up in a discussion that I (to my chagrin) often neglect to even check the names unless there’s a back-and-forth conversation going on? I’m pretty hopeless.
Though I do notice a few, here and there, mostly the real characters.
Paul in Qatar—Expatriate language teacher, spent some time in the US Army, published at least one book (which I own!), writes some fiction (which I’ve read!).
CandidGamera—Er…RPG and comics guy?
Skald the Rhymer—Really, everyone knows Skald, so what could I meaningfully add? Except that I always imagined him as looking like Wilt Chamberlain in Conan the Destroyer, except with a big horned viking helmet.
You sort of mangled that quote. I believe he was talking about Lefty.
Some of my favorite Dopers (cuz I have so many un-favorites, this would go in the Pit sooner rather than later):
Martini Enfield–QLD Ozzie, student/writer, knowledgable and helpful about firearms of all sorts, recently married, works a job with lots hours around Xmas, owes me a drink
Polycarp–liberal but devout Christian, knowledgable about literary and historical matters as well as Biblical and theological, has posted some nutty ideas on the Dope, former inhabitant of way upstate New York
Heffalump and Roo–mysterious, West Coast habitant, doesn’t like answering queries about her life, very resistant to the hive mind
Sarahfeena–Chicago resident, baseball fan, politically conservative, religious but not doctrinaire, will discuss controversial subjects but is slow to take offense, has children
Eleanor Rigby–Also a Chicago resident, a RN, good Scrabble player, has older kids, politically liberal
elucidator–articulate tireless arguer for liberal causes, thoughtful, a good listener. At some point he exposed a totally nutty belief (in something fairly unpolitical) that made me question his critical thinking but now I can’t remember what the controversy was about.
Twickster–bought her house with money she earned on Jeopardy, skillful editor and gardener, not much of a housekeeper (cat hair and books everywhere), extremely smart (doctorate in religion), Quaker, very sweet and generous
RickJay–very knowledgable baseball fan, Canadian, open but not wedded to sabremetric analysis
Rubystreak–just gave birth to her first child, is on hiatus from the Dope, loves cats, is very short, teaches public school
Shayna–big Obama supporter, lives in California, very thorough in supporting her political views with lots and lots of cites
Anaamika–capital district habitant, of Indian (sub-continent) descent, keeps out of controversy
Liberal–lives for controversy, holds many original ideas, is into philosophy on a level that I’m incapable of following too deeply
Jali–former NYer, lives in Georgia now, a self-confessed cougar, likes tea
Olivesmarch4th–big Nietzsche fan, married to a very nice guy whom she’s known for a long time, now a grad student, comes from a disturbing family background, has overcome a lot of issues to be as well-adjusted as she is, many radical changes in her outlook over the years
If you’re right, that would be hilarious, and would explain a lot.
Ever been having kind of a shitty day, and then you come across something out of the blue that catches you off guard and turns things around for you? Yeah, this. Thanks, man. Your check is quite possibly in the mail. 
You, I have nothing to say to. 
You know, I started typing out my list, but then I noticed how long it was getting and realized that it had less to do with what I know about folks as posters here, and more to do with those posters whom I’ve gotten to know outside of just what they say on the Dope. I’m not sure if that’s really in the spirit of this thread. I guess that, outside of baseball threads, I don’t tend to pay much attention to any individual’s posting style.
On the plus side, this exercise made me realize that there are an awful lot of you here that I’m pretty fond of. Perhaps, when I’ve had more than four hours’ sleep, I’ll decide that my list is relevant anyway and post it.

I’m not going to post a list, because I’d forget more people than I’d remember. Plus it might make people nervous to know that a mod knows who they are … 
But since I’ve made a couple of people’s lists (for which thanks):
Pretty much right – except I’ve been unemployed for about a year and a half. :eek:
I’m not actually a Master Gardener, which is an official title that involves coursework and exams and certification and suchlike, though I am a reasonably experienced and knowledgable gardener.
freck, BTW, makes the most gorgeous jewelery, and is a fellow Thing-A-Day fan.
Holy cow, you’re right! You must be psychic!
Really? I didn’t know that. I’m impressed!
Although I did win $46K on Jeopardy!, that was about 4 years after I bought the house – the down payment came from money I inherited when my mother died.
prr–even the stuff he remembers, he remembers incorrectly.
Still impressed. I knew we had a handful of *Jeopardy *contestants on the board, but I didn’t know you were one. When Jeopardy’s on, I just stare blankly at the screen and hum along to the catchy music. Sometimes someone will wander by and wipe the drool off my chin.
Well, you didn’t make it up out of the whole cloth, at least – you may be thinking about the fact that I redid the side yard (had a flagstone walk put in, etc.) with Jeopardy! money.
I think I was pretty spot-on in the previous “how popular are you?” poll. I’m sure plenty of people recognize my name (it starts with a Z!) but there’s not much to KNOW about me. I lack a persona and/or a schtick
Pretty much all of the people I might have a mental flashcard on have been mentioned. They must be the ones with the personalities 
Hey, I got on somebody’s list, but they got the facts wrong! Which is worse?
Your post in the “Whats the Temp outside right now?” thread seems to indicate that you don’t live in the Bay Area anymore. Either that, or you’re on vacation.
