Persephone–she was such wonderful company in Guy Stuff!
aha–cussed devil that he is

Satan and Drain Bead
Southern Style
Irishman
Like everyone else, I’m sure there are more that will immediately become obvious when I hit enter!
One thread I’ll confess to being a bit hesitant on the reply, because, as with the (rarer, these days) popular poster threads, I don’t want to slight anyone whom I may forget in a moment of rambling. But the nature of this thread is not “are you a People kind of person?” but more so a definition of the band-pass frequency filter used on beatle-band radar.
I’ve met (and/or will have, by the end of this weekend) ~ 30 of y’all, some several times now (and I’m going to exclude y’all from the list - this is a slapdash compilation of whom I’d like to yet meet).
People whom have either piqued my curiousity or whom I think I’d like to meet for whatever reason (in random, stream (babbling brook) of consciousness order):
**Demo
Persephone
TubaDear
Shayna
Phobos
Mulli
Milo
Eve **hmmm - my little sister, to a “T” (New Orleans society maven) - if I 'm wrong, Eve, you may beat me, whip me and make me write bad checks
Clog-boy - still owes me a brew; I know - I’ve got to show in Amsterdam to collect
Uncle Beer
pepperlandgirl
AntiPro
Canadian Sue
aenea
tatertot
dewt
Monty
SaxFace
OpalCat
Doctor Jackson
Pantellerite
andros
(there’s one bad-ass little bug hovering around my desk light - looks like a tiny black wasp with a hyper active fanny - new to me, ideas?)
Stoidela

Oh Gawsh! They’re too many! I knew I shouldn’t have tried this. Oh, well. There you have it for now!
If you’re not in there, it reflects not so much on you as it does my failing ability to recall all. There’re many more of you I’d like to know better.
The ones I have met:
Zyada
Balance
Falcon
Beaker
Grace
Chef Troy
JimB
Brood McEto
Aglarond
Ayesha
The LION
Shanin
Sealemon
cooldude
purplebear
Mamapotomus
Irishman
Little Nemo

Enjoyed everyone of’em (to some degree).
The ones I’ll meet this weekend:
rjk
Doctordec
Padeye
Silo
Narile
SuaSponte
Whammo
techchick68
Well, at first I felt sad. I mean, what does one have to do around here? I have over 1000 posts, I’m in chat every night, I try not to make too many waves. But then I realized I don’t want to meet any of you people either.
The people I DO want to meet
Anthracite (My Secret Lesbian Lover)
Chef_Troy
Byz
and beatle, because I’m on his list with about 100 other people AND I like this name.
Well, I seriously would love to meet everyone on this board. I don’t know if anyone feels the same. 
But anyway, those that I would especially like to meet IRL are those that I chat with on a regular basis, namely:
Audrey
Brunetter
SwimmingRiddles
Others that I would like to meet would take too long to list, and I don’t want to leave anyone out, so I won’t try. And pepperlandgirl, that includes you. Especially since I want to meet everybody, so I don’t think I could not miss anyone. 
Although I would love to meet ANYONE who posts here, my main list comes from my many nights in the chat room. When you interact with people on that level, everything becomes more personal. (I’m not including all the folks I’ve already met, who would definitely be on this list if I didn’t already know them in person).
In no particular order,
Demo (you know I love ya, bro!)
Doob (don’t forget to take the trash out on Mondays)
pricciar (smart, sweet and very funny)
Satan & Drain
VogueVixen
SeaDiver
Sassy
techchick
OpalCat
Crap, I’m forgetting people. Forgive me, you’re all special.
Ones I especially would like to meet?
DRY
Welfy
Scotticher
iampunha
bear_nenno
matt_mcl
purplebear
falcon
ayesha
bratman007
Almost any of you, I suppose. GolfWidow is the only one I’ve met IRL except of course my friend tws3334, who just joined.
Dang! Also…
TN*Hippie–
VaHermit–just out of sadism
LuxFiat–
Rudah–
Sassy–(who is)
Grace–(who is; not to mention tough, funny and demented)
peppelandgirl–
Oh, this is hopeless. The names keep running through my mind like the “calendar flipping in the wind” schtick in old movies.
Veb
Offhand, I’d love to meet enilorac and KKBattousai.
I’d like to meet anyone I’ve ever posted a post to, or who has posted something to me.
I’d look most forward to:
Chef Troy
Danielinthewolvesden
Doobieous
dpr
dropzone
DRY
Heloise (just want to know how you’re doing)
silent_rob (you know what I almost typed, don’t you? :D)
xizor, and
All of DRY’s sig ladies.
Oh, yeah, and then there’s that wonderful guy from Baltimore that I talk to every now and then… 
woo-hoo!! a thread I started mak it to 2 pages!! beat that Yojimbo
Of course, I should have put Mully and Demo in my list from the start!
who else… Falcon & ChiefScott (do we have to start mentioning them together now?? ;)), Pepperlandgirl, Shayna (even though I’m not Jewish or over 25, one can still hope ;))Techchick68,
Silo (I’d like to slap him across the head for being such a numbnuts when he first joined the board, and then shake his hand for coming back and being himself) Mega, Swiddles, Eve, andygirl, Libertarian, the list goes on and on…
finally, Tomndebb. I have such a respect for this man. Is there any subject he dosent know something about? He is always on point, never patronising, even his flames are informative!
Yeah, yeah - I know. It’s hard make much of an impression with a sub-70 post count.
No chance I’ll get to a dopefest anytime this decade. Unless there happens to be one in Phoenix Sept. 9-10.
I could always organize one in my locale, but I doubt there’s ANY dopers even remotely close to me. Oh well…
I’d really enjoy meeting - in no particular order:
Anthracite,
Chief Scott,
Coldfire,
and JohnnyLA.
…no, you don’t want to meet me. There’s a reason why I haven’t put up a picture on the people pages. It happens to be the same reason why NO ONE who met me in person voted for me in the Mr. Beauty contest. So there.
My list:**
Grace
Tatertot
Scotticher
Michi**
(These are the four I want to meet most. They are the ones I’ve known the longest out of those who I’m blessed to call my friends here. At least, they are my friends unless and until they DO meet me in person.) :eek:
Of course, there are others I’d like to meet:
**
Diane
Trouble Again
Golf Widow
Medea’s Child
AudreyK
Nika
Struuter
Anti-Pro
Wacky Ninja
(all who’ve been nice to me in one way or the other)
**
Other intesting people include:**
Anniz
jjjfishe
Frannie (I used the names on this thread to get started, and nearly forgot her. Geez, did NONE of you guys mention her?)
Guinastasia
Evilbeth
**
I suppose I should mention some males, shouldn’t I? These come to mind:**
Danielinthewolvesden
Iampunha
DaveW0071
Soulsling
**
There are a whole lot of people I’d like to meet, actually–pretty much all of you. My list is limited only to those who I haven’t met in person (some of the LA people), and who I’ve had several interactions with. (Tempting as it was to list hotties that I really haven’t gotten to interact with)
Apologies if I’ve interacted with you on several occasions and didn’t mention you. I don’t dislike you, I just forgot.
[sub]But what the hell do you expect? You didn’t mention ME, ingrate![/sub]
My list just goes on and on…
My list (in no particular order)

Well I was going to be the first, but AudryK beat me to it, so let me be the second to name danielinthewolvesden as the poster who I’d most like to meet. Wish you had been at Dave and Busters daniel. You’ll just have to make it to Folsom Street Fair.
There are many others I want to meet. I fear actually putting the names down, don’t want to leave anyone out. Although I would like to meet the rest of the Bay Area dopers I haven’t seen yet. tradesillicon, kyla, sue, gawd, psycat, and others.
And of course anyone who I’ve had a conversations or debates with on this board. You all know who you are, so no need to name everyone.
honkeytonkwillie:
I’ll probably be back in town on the 9th, definitely the 10th. We could probably arrange a Doper gathering for that weekend. Padeye would most likely join us. Perhaps we could get lucie and DarkHeart to show as well. Interested?
