Which Forum Member Do You Want To Meet?

[olkofri]

I've never been able to do that, once it pops in my head, it has to come out.

You'd make a poor diplomat, Cap'n.

Hey, you shoulda been the one in the debate earlier!! ?

I have too much common sense for that.

I'd like to meet Jay, from Cornwall............ seems like an interesting bloke, ?, and Pauliscandinavian......... I envy him for living up there in God's country---- Northern Finland, it don't get much better than that!..............

As others said, @georged would be great to meet, but we’ve talked on the phone for quite a while, so it feels like we’ve already met. Does that count? And why would anyone want to meet that curmudgeon @hoosierpipeguy?

That's uncommon. ?

 

[captainsousie]

At least nobody wants to meet me. I'd meet Bradley (the old cajun) and have a big old bowl with him and his lovely lady. I'd enjoy his flower garden and pet an old pup while giving him samples of my homemade brew.

Telephones are wonderful.

I'm not a big fan of Skype or Zoom, though. Seeing my face tends to be a conversational distraction for some reason.

Thank you...no thank you...?

What is that green object in your hand, Geo.?

[mikethompson]

Mike Thompson - great fella who gifted me a pipe a year or so back and have some common interests!

Well at least I've fooled one of you.

 

[logs]

Alaskanpiper can fell a moose with a cub scout knife and wear the antlers while smoking his Dracula pipe. That's the guy I want to meet (while practicing social distancing of course).

Ha. You're wunna them whippersnappers that carries a pocket TV widget everwhere, ain'tcha?

We'll see how long THAT fad lasts.

I'm pretty sure the elocution and syntax over qualify you as well.

 

[woodsroad]

I would most like to meet @condorlover1!

Simon has so many Anti-Stalking orders out on forum members, the NYP has lost count.

Under a very liberal interpretation of "Whippersnapper"! (3/4 C or so) I am afraid I am tethered to it, and if I leave it at home, kick myself.

I have gotten used to airplanes being a real thing for personal travel, though. (Though not so much today.) And horseless carriages—I am convinced they are here to stay.

That's a valid point of view. A lot of virtual personas are complete fakery.

This is true. On line I come across as a slow witted, middle aged, portly pipe smoker with a quirky sense of humor. In reality, I'm a retired, slim, elderly Asian woman with a history in espionage wet work, a love of rodeo and the current chair of the Shenzhen Optimist International chapter. Some things wet work teaches you is a love for people, a positive outlook and a can do attitude!

I say a lot more stupid things in real life, because I can't check google or wikipedia and rearrange my grammar.

reminds me of what I find hilarious about people and online. Online people will argue with you about facts, where as in real life they'll go online look it up and then say oh wow you're right. Why because people are basically just monkeys with a little bit of fashion sense.

One of the things I love most about on-line communication is eliminating the fashion sense part.
