“Teach not thy lips such scorn, for they were made
For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
–King Richard III, Act 1, Scene ii
I’d still like to meet you, dear. But I suppose I should wear kneepads. And a cup.
I would like to meet the following:
Iksova: sometimes it is you, babe
Evilbeth

AudryK
Zette
Danielinthewolvesden
Satan
Jodi and jtr
Spoofe Bo Diddley
Diane: fell in love with her picture

Bratman007: Go Cardinals!!!
ssskuggiii
Coldfire
Kellibelli
And many others…
I would like to add spooje to my list, as this is obviously a person with impeccable taste, good judgment, and an affinity for saying just the right thing.
GO CARDS!!!
Since I’m here I’ll also expand my list to include:
Eve
Rachelle
Tatertot

dropzone
dpr
Mullinator
TubaDiva
aha
DRY
More to come . . .
I would like to meet any Doper (especially the ones that put me on their list ;)) and would love to see an Oregon Dope-fest take place someday.
But I confess three names jump out as the Dopers I would most love to share a table with: Eve, TennHippie, and Ukelele Ike. I’m sure the conversation would snap, crackle, sparkle, and probably be 10 feet over my head at any given moment, but I would enjoy every second of listening to it.
Um . . . I don’t suppose those people who had BratMan on their lists would want to go back and change that to Crunchy Frog? You know, cuz that’s who I am now and all . . .
Anyone? No?
::sigh::
Okaay . . .
If I do not meet this crunchy frog fellow, I just know my life will have less meaning…
I think I love this crunchy frog guy…sigh…
crunchy frog sends shivers of lust…oh, you get the drift by now…
is all this enough, or should I go on and just start a crunchy frog thread???
I miss Bratman already…:
:
Dylan. You’re a smart-ass.
I can’t think of a single person here that I would NOT want to meet. You are all just so great, and kind.
thanks!!!
…at least I’m not a dumb-ass
and I STILL love crunchy frog…
Little bit too long a drive on too short notice. But you’ll make it to ChiDope on Oct. 7, right?
[ego on]I know, I know.[/ego off]
[magnanimous]Feel free to use it as a sig.[/magnanimous]
(Warning: ChiefScott–close your eyes now)
Well, I can’t wait to meet everyone who is coming to the Rochester gathering!
My self-deprecation meter should have warned me not to expect anyone to list my name. Still … sob
Personally, I’d like to meet any of you female types of ages 16-30. Make that single female types.
Oh, and good ol’ Libertarian. He seems like an intelligent person.
There are too many to name. Everyone I mentioned on the “Unsung Dopers” thread (which I cannot find, since it apparently isn’t called that), as well as nearly everyone else, with very few exceptions. I’ve already had the privilege to meet a good number of my favorite posters in person at NY-area dopefests, for which I count myself lucky.
And Veb, it absolutely made my day to see my name on your list.
Bratboy wants to meet me? To punch me in the nose?
I paraphrased.

Yes, my Browns did win Sunday! Isn’t that the greatest?!?! What’s very unsettling for me is that I can’t seem to get back into my football groove. This may sound quite mundane (hey, that’s what this place is all about, after all), but after Mr. Modell moved my beloved team and the fabulous citizens of Cleveland twisted the NFL’s flabby arm and made them grant us an “expansion team” (an “expansion team” in Cleveland – yeah, right) :rolleyes:, my heart just hasn’t been in football. I haven’t watched an entire game since their return. I try, but it just isn’t the same. You must understand that I attended nearly every home game before the move, and watched the Browns every week since the age of ten. (Hmmmm… I started following them at ten when my dad took me to my first game, but probably didn’t watch them every week until I was 14 or so.) In high school, my boyfriends had to watch the game with me before I’d go out anywhere. One of my sons was born the morning of a Monday Night Football game vs. Houston (the nurse had given me a sleeping pill which caused me to sleep through the entire second half, and I REALLY let her have it the next evening!) My kids sang all the Browns songs. They also had very extensive Browns wardrobes. I baked brownies every Sunday (or Monday or Thursday). I lived and breathed the Browns. Ozzie Newsome. Brian Sipe. Red Right 88. The Drive. The Fumble. You name it. Gosh, I cried so hard walking out of Municipal Stadium after watching The Drive. It was cold too. And somebody lost the car keys in the stadium that day, so getting home was quite a bitch. (No, I didn’t lose them.) Anyway, my point is that I want to love them again, but putting the pieces back together is difficult. I think my point has been made. I long for the day when I can once agin truly enjoy watching the Browns. (Gosh, I’ll bet you had no idea what kind of can of worms you were opening!)
-
I do remember seeing lots of Browns fans at away games – even in California. The Browns Backers have groups (sects?) all over the country. I wonder if they’re as fanatic these days?
-
Ahem. Of course there are lots of Indians’ fans all around the country! Duh!
-
I’ve seen the drum at away games – even in Oakland! The drummer is John Adams (I think it’s “Adams”), and he is at every home game, and sometimes travels too. He has two season tickets: one for him and the other for the drum. Oh! That reminds me! I’ve attended a few Tribe games in Detroit, and the Indians fan outnumbered the Tigers fans. I haven’t yet been to their new ballpark, but I hope to get there next season. Tiger Stadium reminded me so much of Municipal Stadium – I think it was the smell.
-
It’s not nice to throw food.
-
Tee hee re: Mother’s Day. He had a bad game in ’95? (I’m too lazy to look it up.)
-
Only your knee is in jeopardy… and only if you dis my Tribe.
-
I love your quotes, and I actually understood that one!
-
Thursday, I go to my last Tribe game of the season. Um… I mean my last regular season game.
-
This was quite cathartic.

Oops! This is sorta a hijack, huh?
Hey, Frannie, your beloved Browns of old are now 2-0 and kicking ass in the lovely state of Maryland.
Go Ravens!
:rolleyes:
That this thread is MADE FOR FLIRTING, and I’m about to HIJACK it? :eek: (Usually, I hijack TO flirt)
Then again, it IS about sports.
(I had to paraphrase, too)
All right, I’m pretty up on my football history. I know about Sipe and Newsome, The Drive and The Fumble. Red Right 88 sounds vaguely familiar, but I can’t recall it.
Fill me in.
As to you not loving the Browns as much as the old Browns, be patient, dear. At least you HAVE a football team! 
**
Brown fans are as fanatical as anyone. I confess that most of the “out of town rooting football fans” I see, most are rooting for teams that were recently successful or traditionally successful: Cowboys, Steelers, Packers, Broncos, etc.
**
True, but there didn’t used to be as many! When the Indians were terrible (so bad that they were the team used in “Major League”–remember?), I didn’t see as many, or they weren’t as open about it.
**
He might make the Oakland road trips but not Anaheim. I’ve heard the drum (or a drum) in Oakland–never in Anaheim. (And when you consider I’ve been to a LOT more Angels-Indians than A’s-Indians games…)
**
Figures an elementary school teacher would say that!
**
I think this was the year that Percival hadn’t allowed an earned run for over a month.
Until he faced the Indians who homered three times in one inning off to beat him.
**
I wouldn’t do that–I own Indians in my fantasy leagues. Manny Ramirez in four leagues, Thome in two. Jaret Wright in two. Also Lofton, Vizquel, Segui, Colon, Karsay, Reed, Wickman and Shuey in at least one. I NEED the Indians to do well.
They should NEVER have traded Justice, though. And to the YANKEES, of all teams! 
**
Thank you!
Though it’s surprising to hear that the Shakespeare quotes would go over the head of a TEACHER! (Granted, you students are a little young…)
[Flirting] So…how many of the little boys have a crush on you? [/Flirting]
**
They should make the playoffs. The Yankees will be tough, though–they always are.
**
You’re welcome. Happy to help.
**
Don’t worry about it. Being in love (with baseball, though I’ll thank you for letting me keep my illusions) means never having to say you’re sorry! 
Why would I want to punch you in the nose? I can think of many more painful things to do to somebody.
Gee Mr C… Let me just say THANKS for being the ONLY one not on your list… Hmph
BTW… I’m Baaccckkk…
