I leave it here - I'm undecided among goobergunch, arendt, and sweetheart.

3. Well, he's not around that much, but...
I have always been fascinated by DemoTex. His pilot's background makes him knowledgeable and interesting, and he seems to have a lot of patience with idiots.

He in his tux, I in a long silken black dress

We would both burst out laughing at the irony of it all

No, seriously I don't know. I don't even want to post my picks, for some strange reason I guess I'm shy about things like this.

18. oh hey
saw your question a couple seconds ago on the U2 thread...to answer, I don't know if I', protestant or Catholic. I was not raised religous and niether was my mother. So, that probably means we were protestant. I find catholocism is handed down a bit more than the other. But, I look at it as the people have had a rough go, not one group. - CHeers

23. ok man
I dont know really. but hey protestants are welcome in Irish nationalists circles. In fact many of the Irish socialists have not been that religious or in favor of returning to Gaelic. I wasnt raised religious either but I am a Catholic. Also Ivan Cooper the leader of the Derry peace organization was a protestant so was Parnell and there was another. All sorts of protestants in the movement. That said thats why I dont think religion is the cause of the problems, intially I bet it was but its about economics.

19. You sweetie *smooches*
And you know you're on my short list too. Gotta see my NC boys. Me and you and DarkPhenyx all together in one room may be one of the harbingers of the Apocolypse. :-)

Would kinda like to meet Aristus and Little Bit too (aka Leftist Rebel for the non-Grotto denizens).

It's a pleasure to have met Will Pitt and Sal 316.

If any of you are ever going to be in AZ, PM me, I'd love to actually converse (or even argue) face to face!

Besides, there's a great Tex-Mex just down the street; the real thing.

Taquitos with lime and cabbage--mmmmm. (And i don't mean the chips.)

32. Oh My Gay Stars! That Would Be "Queer Duck"... Thanks.
You're very kind to include me and I'm very flattered. I'd love to meet you too. In fact, I'd enjoy meeting *everyone* here at a GREAT BIG DU-Party...

... But ...

Doesn't this thread make anyone here uncomfortable? Even though it's difficult to avoid "connecting" with others on some other level... and even though personal friendships outside of DU have been established... this whole thread risks turning into a popularity contest of "Who's-The-Most-Interesting".

I recall seeing threads like this from time to time and eventually someone gets hurt for being forgotten and left out of the list. I hope it doesn't happen this time.

I know that wasn't the original poster's intent... but that's sometimes the result.

34. I would probably say Goobergunch,
since I was absolutely floored when I found out he was 16. He seems to know where to find out everything consultants want to charge us $1,500 to find out.

I also want to meet AWD, specifically in January of 2005. Hee hee.

53. I'd be happy to meet ANY Duer
So far, I think I've only met JaysunB......although Symbolman and I are pretty close geographically and plan to meet for drinks...
I even was at some of the anti-war demonstrations and I KNEW there were Duers there, but just got "Huh???" as a reply when I asked around about DU...

Same at any Dean event we have done......

But if any of you go to another Dean event pm me first!
Always happy to meet one and all.:)
