And then we have just the random people:  
Ayesha  
Coldy Clogs (what I really wanna do is go to a Rush concert with Coldy.)  
soulsling  
manhattan  
Eve  
Mr. Cynical (TAINTED???)  
techchick  
SanibelMan  
SouthernStyle  
SuaSponte  
purplebear  
VestalBlue  
Homer

And a ton of people I’m sure I forgot…looks like I’ve got plenty more Dopefests to attend. 🙂

How could I leave out MrC?

Stick MrCynical up there in my first string roster.

I’m omitting the Dopers who I’ll be meeting at the Las Vegas Dope-fest this weekend.

aha - Western Union! Doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo doo-da-doo-doo-doo-doo…  
Alphagene - I want to show him my collection of stuffed animals and introduce him to my kitty cat (moderator suck-up #1, well, not much of a suck-up there)  
AntiPro  
Arnold Winkelreid - Damn smart (moderator suck-up #2)  
Athena - she likes camping and beer. What more can you ask for? Hoping to meet her at the beginning of October  
Bio-Brat - teaches biology. I like science teachers.  
Bluepony   
BunnyGirl - hope to see her in September, if I’m in Arizona when she passes through, that is!   
CKDextHavn - also damn intelligent (moderator suck-up #3).  
ColdFire   
Democritus   
Diane   
Drain Bead - NTN Trivia and karaoke. I’m there!   
DrFidelus   
Falcon - couldn’t make it to the Las Vegas Dopefest. Hope we hook up at another gathering.  
Gr8kat   
jjjfishe - breaks my stereotype about gorgeous young ladies being snobby and inarticulate.  
Jodi - a good email buddy. She still hasn’t invited me to stay in her dad’s cabin on the lake though.  
Kyla   
manhatten - seems like an overall friendly, humorous guy (moderator suck-up #4)  
Michi   
Milossarian - has the same favorite books that I do. We could spend manny hours discussing Heller and Salinger.   
Mr. Cynical - even though he doesn’t want to meet _me_ _sniff_.   
Mullinator - fellow Ga Tech alum. Cracks me up with his one liners.   
Omniscient - fellow aerospace engineering major. Sounds like a blast to party with, although it may result in my death.  
Pluto - another (former aerospace?) engineer. Seems like someone with whom I’d enjoy salmon fishing.  
Ruffian - DeathLlama can just stay at home.  
Satan   
Sue Duhnym - I could terrorize her with nose-job horror stories. 😉  
TN\*hippie   
tomndebb - knows just about everything and articulates it well.   
UncleBeer - another engineer. Hope to tip back a few with him at a future Doper gathering (moderator suck-up #5).  
Zette - seems like a good person, although I wouldn’t want to piss her off!

And yes, there are plenty others. I’d really like to meet just about everyone who posts to this message board.

Despite having already met a fair number of Dopers/Fathomers from MD/DC/VA/NC (plus one each from TN and CA - you know who you are!), there’s still quite a bunch I’d really like to get to know.

Let me be the first to mention **Kimstu** , whose posts on everything from mathematics to politics have been completely wonderful.

Not that that means any of the following are exactly chopped liver:

SuaSponte  
SouthernStyle  
SingleDad  
tomndebb  
Gaudere  
Democritus  
psycat90  
Dr. Watson  
Highlander  
MajorMD (now SUEp du Jour on the Fathom board)  
neuro-trash grrrl  
SwimmingRiddles  
Techchick  
ultress

And a bunch of others that I’ll remember within five minutes of clicking ‘Submit Reply’.

To be honest I’d like to meet all of you–minus a few people I can count on my right hand.

I’d like to meet everybody, but if I had to narrow the list down to 10 (in a pretty much unscientific sort of way), I’d go with

1. Coldfire
2. Unclebeer - Could have, but outside forces screwed me over
3. Ukelele Ike
4. Eve
5. Swiddles
6. Mega the Roo
7. John Larrigan
8. Satan
9. John Corrado
10. Diane

And, I left off hundreds of others so don’t feel too sad.

I would love to meet everyone. My top choices only because:

aha (my best buddy)  
Manhattan (to see if his name matches the city)  
Euty (cause I cried when I read his post to the best friend thread)  
Ike (cause he’s such a southern boy)

and many many others…everyone on the board is interesting in one respect or another and if I had the chance I’d go to all the doperfests.

I’ve already met Montfort and Valerieblaise IRL, and Alphagene is an old friend of mine. I’ve seen Olentzero sing some jaw-dropping karaoke.

I’d like to meet pretty much everyone, and I want to avoid one of those “choosing sides for gym class” moments by leaving people out. Of course all the SDMB titans like Ayesha, Coldfire, and the Chief go without saying, but here goes:

Dry  
Hamadryad  
Struuter  
Chef Troy  
Doctor J  
Moe  
sdimbert  
Tomcat  
Dinsdale  
CrankyAsAnOldMan  
Black12  
oldscratch  
Tiggeril  
Lynn Bodoni

:: Doing the moron dance with Omni ::

Yep, ditto bro. And Falc…forgive…please. 😃

Really, that’s why I didn’t want to make a list in the first place. I can’t think of one person who I _wouldn’t_ look forward to meeting. Hell, I even liked Phaedrus. Sure, he was psycho, but he was a very literate psycho. I can respect that. 😉

Tally, of course, the intent on the original list would have been to meet both you _and_ Joph. It won’t happen again.

Silo, duuuuuuude!

Strain, man, psycat and I were _this_ close to going this weekend. I found out I was on call though. ☹

For Dublin Dope I think we should send an envoy to London and drag mattk over here.

And (we may have to chip in for this one) another to San Francisco to bring Sassy over.

And Shayna, of course, who kept me smoke-free for a month anyway …

Oh hell, I’ll take the easy way out and say “everybody”. Now get off my back. 😉
