There's no limits to how many people you can choose.

Logic
Troll
Lerkfish

vmarks and einmakom (at the same time)

If you want to post reasons why, go ahead. I'll elaborate more later when I'm not so tired.

edit: Added Demonhood ASAP for fear of discovering five locks under my name

I'd like to see SimeytheLimey and Lerkfish in the same room just as an experiment in psychology. Would they laugh at all their skirmishes? Argue? Or just ignore each other? Would be interesting.

I'd buy a beer anytime for:
thunderous_funker
BlackGriffen
ZigZag
Maxelson
Mastrap
Spheric Herlot
kvm_mkdb
GHPorter (hangs in the Network forum, helped me with my wireless setup)
and the two mentioned above

Bah, the macnn popularity contest. There are too many people I would like to meet up with to list them. Yes, some might be for nefarious proposes, but most just to hang out and chat over beer or coffee. But hey, if anyone wants to meet up, a search of the archives should give you directions to my house!

out at 'em dressed as their

But to do it would be almost

The Bunker though? I knew it, you're expecting a Government raid of some sorts soon.

Now the beer, wouldn't mind tasting American beer, I'l bring the morgan's over, nice with coke.

Philzilla pops up a lot.

SimonX cus I ended up on the same webhost as him because of his recommendations

And at the same time no one. Cus I could as it's only england, nothing is far away, but I don't have time for my own family let alone a macnn-er

If you're anywhere where the armpit of the United States (South Florida) that might certainly be arranged, quandarry. I really like meeting new people.

But, all the words I spell?

Hey, Demon!

I've just recently discovered a couple of pretty useful shufflepuck tables, and one for airhockey at a game parlor 'round the corner!

Anybody who played back at the Pringles party in the bunker is welcome to stop by for a game or ten if you're near Hamburg!

Actually, everyone. Except maybe that guy who thinks women should be treated like a pet dog.
Here are a few:

Ambush, cause he's got alotta nerve.
Ankle_brains, just to see if s/he's a real person, and to get the questions flowing.
Awaspaas, cause he put together our picture board.
Benign, to see if he's really as mean in person.
Chris v, because he sounds interesting.
Cipher13, just so I could prove to him 98% of women aren't irrational.
Dcmacdaddy, cause he looks like a nice guy.
Demonhood, cause he's got red hair.
KarlG, a gutsy character with a sense of humor.
Keekeeree, cause I like his photos and his got an amazing eyebrow.
Krusty, cause he's smart and funny.
MallyMal, cause he sounds interesting.
Mastrap, cause he sounds like a really good person.
Sanity Assassin, cause he sounds interesting.
Scientist, cause he's articulate and fair.
Sherwin, cause there's a real mensch underneath the wiseguy.
SimeyTheLimey, same reason. Even though his politics are the opposite of mine.
Spheric Harlot, cause any musician who can also articulately argue the merits of the theory of natural selection and in a foreign language has got my admiration.
Theolein, funny and sassy, and one of the smartest people around.
ThinkInsane, cause he works in the same kind of place as I do.
Wolfen, cause he's hard to peg.
zigzag, just because.

There are more...but there.

Nothing of the sort. I think we'd walk right up, and shake each other warmly by the throat.

Many thanks, voyageur. You strike me as the kind of person who throws a day-long summer picnic that the neighbors always look forward to and talk fondly about afterwards.

I have been getting the nice guy thing my whole life--It IS a pretty accurate assessment of me, however. But once, just once, could someone say they think I am fantabulous, huh?
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Thank you, I love you too Apart from the fact that you seem to be one of the saner and more intelligent people on this board, and one with a great deal of humanity to boot, one thing that immediately struck me back in the photo thread was that you have an incredibly warm smile.

i think everybody who posts here is, each in his/her own right, a total "character". i always imagine what people here are "like" in real life (usually i'm very wrong about this)...so here is my list (in no particular order):

cash
zimphire
spliffdaddy
begnin
lerk
cipher
spheric
theolein
millenium
macnstein
timo
captain obvious
keekeeree
mastrap
mindfad
misanthropy
the star wars person
simey
nonhuman
voyageur
phil
demonhood
chris v
face ache
thunderous funker

the list could go on...

needless to say all for VERY very different reasons.

The list of people I wouldn't like to meet is far shorter than the list of people I would like to meet, which is really the majority of you.

The person I would really love to meet is WDlove. Just so I could corrupt him with beer and loose women
