I can't keep all of you people straight anymore.

[XNASA]

Please respond by giving a brief (25 words or less) description of yourself. Please include any specific instances when you and I have had a memorable interface.

Thanks in advance.

[VelmaD]

1. We had brunch

You called me the "delightful Ms. Velma" when you posted about it afterward. :)

[XNASA]

3. Yes. I remember that quite clearly.

How could I forget.

[VelmaD]

4. Just wanted to make sure...

you kept me and GOPisEvil straight. I was the one with all the hair. :)

[Worst Username Ever]

We have had no memorable interface.

But I live in MN, I work for a bank (but am quitting in the summer to go to law school) and I just got engaged this past November.

:hi:

[XNASA]

29. Engaged, bank, Minnesota?

Wow. That's terrible.

[Beetwasher]

2. Who The Fuck Are You?

:shrug: :evilgrin:

I'm an asshole, that's all you need to know.

[XNASA]

5. Yes, of course.

I looked in my address book under "asshole" and you were listed right after the "A's".

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. I met you in Chicago last October at a DU Gathering

you were drunk. :evilgrin:

I like old punk music and the Red Sox.

[XNASA]

10. Right. At Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap.

I was wearing a Man U shirt. You were dressed like a haughty New Englander.

Thanks.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

12. LOL

'haughty New Englander'? :rofl:

[fudge stripe cookays]

7. I told you

I wanted to meet up with you when I was up in December, but NOOOOOOO....you had better things to do. :eyes:

You will hopefully rectify that situation in June.
FSC

[XNASA]

14. We've never spoken of Texas?

I was once a resident of that state. I believe I might have been out of town last December when you were here.

But I'm looking forward to June.

[fudge stripe cookays]

23. We may have mentioned Texas a bit, nothing major.

I think you were getting over a bug or something in December.

Don't wimp out in June!
FSC

[miss_kitty]

8. i'm sure I've posted to you

and I don't recall any 'flamefesting' going on between us. I have a kitty avatar.

[Liberal Veteran]

9. Trying to keep me straight would be an exercise in futility.

You'd have a much easier time keeping me gay.

[XNASA]

16. Duly noted.

[MissMillie]

11. Who are you again?

I live in MA, work at a college, have two teenage boys (one is my own, one I unofficially adopted), three cats, and I've recently lost a lot of weight and I just started working out.

[XNASA]

17. We also have two teenage boys.

But only 2 cats.

I too have recently shed about 15 pounds and started working out about 6 or 8 weeks ago.

See, we have much in common.

[Lex]

13. Well, just yesterday you told me

"Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

That was a memorable interaction for me.

:hi:

[XNASA]

20. Well, thanks for not rubbing my nose in the outcome of last night's game.

I'm not a UofI alum, but my wife went to SIU which is where Weber coached before becoming the Coach at Illinois.

Exciting game though. Sure wish that Augustine had played better.

[underpants]

15. We are composed of beams of laser light DO NOT TOUCH US!!!

Actually I used to be a consortium of underground waste pipe manufacturers and a car wash employees union trying to corner the world #2 plastic industry through a complicated money laundering scheme involving Marlboro miles and scratch lottery tickets but I gave that up and got a Social Security card.

[XNASA]

22. I may have crossed paths with you once or twice,......

[progmom]

18. We have never met.

I'm not very memorable.
Just forget I ever existed.

[XNASA]

24. Regrettably, we have not met.

But I would still find it difficult to erase you from my memory.

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. You touched me inappropriately...

...when I was but a wee lad, and you were supporting your diet-pill habit by playing Santa Claus. :cry:


edit: I was the little red-headed girl in the green jumper.

[XNASA]

26. And then you showed me the appropriate way to touch you.

For one magical weekend, I was sure that I was in love. Then you gave me herpes. :cry:

[asthmaticeog]

21. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman.

Now I only have two things. My friends and, uh, my thermos.

Huh? My story? O.K.

It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child...

[XNASA]

27. Doesn't ring a bell.

[Squeech]

25. I'm the Henry Cow fan

I also like Messiaen and XTC. I used to play bass for Cul de Sac, and before that I wrote freelance rock criticism. I carefully preserve my ambivalence about that band you used to play with. Does that help?

[XNASA]

28. Why preserve your ambivalence?

Just come out and say it....you fuckin' hate them. I do.

[Squeech]

30. Not really

I just hate Al Jourgenson-- or at least his public persona.

Ministry was intermittently interesting. RevCo was redundant and stoopid.

[GOPisEvil]

31. I have met you on two occasions.

First in Chicago. We met for drinks at The Charleston. Then we went with BatBoy and Susan and your friend and your brother to some other place for more food.

Then in Austin, brunch at Curra's, same time as VelmaD.

[XNASA]

33. Yes! The Balzac Brothers Alcohol Intervention Weekend....

That was very exciting.

And the get together at the Charleston was the first time that I met Susan and BatBoy and proles. Very memorable.

Wow. You are a harbinger of good times!!

[GOPisEvil]

34. That's right! Proles was there!

I knew I was leaving someone out!

You missed dinner the first night though. Pizza-palooza!

[Bouncy Ball]

32. I don't know that we ever have had a memorable interface.

Or any interface at all. I'm Bouncy Ball. I'm 34 years old, live in a suburb of Dallas, married, one daughter who is 10.

I have a dog and a cat. I have redneck Democrat roots that I'm proud of. I'm an unapologetic, ball-busting liberal.

:hi:

[XNASA]

36. See. This is what I'm talking about.

A DUer with tons of posts and a name I recognize but I can't remember if we ever had any direct contact. So my suspicions are confirmed.

I will try to be more friendly in the future, Bouncy Ball.

[Bouncy Ball]

57. Heh. No problem.

I know who you are, I've read your posts. But it's no big deal. It's not like I was offended or anything, LOL!

:D

[Goathead]

67. You just screwed yourself

Now, you will be expected to remember EVERYBODY.

[fudge stripe cookays]

85. And......

her husband wears diapers to Halloween parties!

:evilgrin:

FSC

[mopinko]

35. we met twice

at du get togethers, but you didn't buy me a drink.

[XNASA]

37. Now you.........I know.

[mopinko]

39. to be fair,

i didn't buy you a drink either.

edited to add, i will take that as a compliment. i think.

[Droopy]

38. You can keep me straight

I have absolutely no desire to be with a man.

[XNASA]

40. Never say never.

After all, a problem shared is a problem halved.

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. Perhaps you would remembetr me if...

I give you the lap dance next time instead of Blue-Jay....

[XNASA]

43. Blue-Jay gave me a lap dance?

[greatauntoftriplets]

44. You don't remember that either???

:eyes:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. You don't know me

I've only been here a few months. I can't say we've ever had any significant exchanges before.

I live in the Texas hill country and this time of they year I wouldn't trade that for anything, the wildflowers are breathtaking. However, by July when it's 102 outside I'll be ready to move to Canada again. :P

[XNASA]

45. I have spent a lot of time in Hill Country.

And it is a beautiful place this time of year.

Ever been to Garner SP or to Lost Maples SP?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

47. I've camped at Garner many times

It's beautiful there. I usually go to Kickapoo Cavern when I'm out that direction. I live more in the Highland Lakes area and go to Inks Lake SP often.

:hi:

[XNASA]

51. Yes!! I've camped at Inks Lake too.

There was a swimming hole there that we canoed to called "The Devil's...something". Great spot. I also remember that we had to run a 50ft. extension cord to our tent so that we could run a fan to keep cool. But we survived.

And Garners. We were there in the fall one year. The water was turquoise, the shore was white and the cypress trees were rust-colored. Really cool place.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

66. The Devil's Waterhole!

Yes, that's Inks Lake SP. It's a tiny little lake but the water is nice and cool all summer because it comes off the bottom of the large Lake Buchanan. They've done makeovers on most of the SP in Texas enclosing the Cabana's and adding kitchenette's to some. One thing Texas does have are some nice SP's. The politics suck and the school system is a joke, but we still have our State Parks. :)

[Lisa0825]

46. We discussed the various bars and clubs in the Clear Lake area.

And the fact that all it takes is green paint and a Killian's poster to call a bar an Irish pub;-)

:toast:

[XNASA]

49. I remember that!

Did you ever check out the UU's?

[Lisa0825]

55. Not yet, but I did print out info on the nearest one to me...

I keep planning to go, but haven't made it yet. I am working on my house right now, so I spend most of my spare time on the weekends on that. I want to get as much done as possible before the summer heat gets here.

[johnnie]

48. Almost met face to face (But cash flow was down) But...

My most memorable experience w/ you is when you ruined my microphone deal in the musicians forum. Thanks dude, I could have used that money. ;-)

Here are some bonus words (over the 25 limit)
SM 57, SM 57, SM 57...blah blah blah..LOL

[XNASA]

52. Oops.

:shrug:

[johnnie]

53. Oh well

I was almost giving it away. I am glad I didn't sell it, I got through just fine.
It's a great mic.
And honestly, the SM 57 are the best things to get for the all around workhorse.

[Tikki]

50. 1978.....

You saw Elvis Costello in 1978 (in Chicago)....we saw Elvis Costello in 1978 (in L A).....


This is the Tikkis in 1978...

[XNASA]

54. It was the night that changed my life completely.

Following the show, I went to the infamous O'Banions nightclub and the following day I had my haircut spiky and dyed black.

[GOPBasher]

56. Hi XNASA.

I'm a teacher living in central NY. I've had insomnia for almost 5 years now. I'll be suffering with it until at least November, 2008.
:hi:

[XNASA]

64. Well see...

You wouldn't remember me anyway.

[Goathead]

58. I don't know, did we talk about planets or something?

Did you work at JPL?

[XNASA]

60. Nope. JSC.

It's kinda fuzzy but I do recall talking about some kind of space crap with you.

[Goathead]

61. Sweet, how is the restoration of the Saturn V going?

Are you following that at all?

[XNASA]

63. Again?

It had been restored while I was there, sometime around '97.

That Gulf Coast heat & humidity is a killer. I still have peeps in the newsroom there so I'll have to ask about it.

[Goathead]

65. I wasn't aware of that.

I thought it's restoration was a current issue.

[XNASA]

69. Wow! This time they built a big building around it.

[Debi]

59. Are you the one who LOVES Oasis?

No? Okay, sorry.

Iowa, I'm from Iowa, go Iowa!! 37, married to the man who introduced me to democratic politics (yes, I was part of the dark side before then!). One 16 year old son that I adore beyond belief!!

Have we talked? I don't recall.

[XNASA]

62. I will admit that I have performed an Oasis song or two in my time.

I was once in a bar band that covered "Some Might Say" and um.."Cast No Shadow" I think. But I really don't consider myself a fan.

But no, I don't think that we've communicated before.

[texas1928]

115. Say it ain't so.

No a reformed freeper. I am so disallusioned now.

:cry:

[nini]

68. I'm the amazon woman who shared an elevator with a short pervert

remember? :D

[XNASA]

70. I'm sorry. What did you say?

Would you mind repeating that, I didn't catch all of it.

:P

[nini]

79. LOL

yep, I remember your response too which is why I figured you'd remember.

:-)

[GreenPartyVoter]

71. Green, stay-at-home mommy of 2 boys, big into election reform, live in

Maine and have two cats.

I think we have crossed paths in posts a few times because I recall your user name, but I don't remember what the posts were about. :(

[XNASA]

73. Both of us have...Two boys, two cats and over 10K posts...

Yet, we are like ships in the night. :banghead:

[GreenPartyVoter]

75. Well, I have been mostly staying in the lounge, esp since my mom died at

the end of January. I have just been too depressed to deal with the hard stuff lately.

So if your ship ever wants to hook up with my ship, we'll have to dock in the lounge. (dang, that's really hokey but I am too lazy to rewrite it. :P )

[JimmyJazz]

72. Do you remember that one time when we....

:P

Yeah, like I would tell.

Actually, I posted to your pic and called you and Mrs. XNASA the "schmoopiest."

[XNASA]

74. I saw that. And wanted to ask what 'schmoopy' meant.

'Cause if me and the missus were really that schmoopy, then you and I wouldn't have.......you know.....:crazy:

[JimmyJazz]

76. Schmoopy - kinda like this:

It's a good thing :D

[SOteric]

77. Hi. I'm SOteric.

:hi:

I work 3 jobs and have a life now, so I don't spend quite as much time here as I once did. I'm not sure there's anything sufficient in our interactions to have made it to your memory.

But on the bright side, I don't believe we've ever been on one another's shit lists. You'll correct me if I'm wrong.

[XNASA]

78. SOteric? *scratches chin*

Hmmmm....I don't recall any animosity between us. And you're certainly not on my shit list. And I don't have you on 'Ignore'.

But!......I am from Chicago. :rofl:

[SOteric]

80. I've several good friends in Chicago.

I've never had a problem with the people who live there. I just haven't enjoyed my visits to the city. :shrug:

[SiouxJ]

81. You told me you met Todd and I told you

he once spit upon me while singing. That was just one of our many Todd discussions. We've also shared out love of XTC and I once advised you on a nice place to stay in Sedona. I also mentioned once, that I indirectly made some money off of you by selling your former band's merchandise (I'll always feel like I owe you) ;-) .

Did that make any sense at all?

[XNASA]

83. I could never forget you.

I mean, that would be impossible.

:hi:

[SiouxJ]

86. Aw

that's nice ;-)

:hi:

[Kire]

82. If I wasn't straight,

I might be asking you for more than an interface.

[XNASA]

84. Whoa!

:blush:

I knew this thread would be real confidence builder.

[Ellen Forradalom]

87. Short. Brown hair. Drunk on too much sangria.

You and Mrs. XNASA drove me home from a DU gathering at Moody's Pub where I imbibed too much of their sangria. (Dangerous shit, it goes down like Kool-Aid.)

You also very graciously showed Mr. Forradalom and I around your neighborhood after a drink at the local brew pub.

[XNASA]

96. Right! You guys have even been out to the house a couple of times.

It's all coming back to me now. :crazy:

[Ellen Forradalom]

111. Sorry to churn up traumatic repressed memories

But you asked.

[progmom]

88. Hey - what band were you in?

I must know.

[Rabrrrrrr]

89. We had three children together. You'd think that would make a memory,

but apparently not.

Fuck you. I'm going home to mother.

[XNASA]

97. I'm the Charles Kuralt of the Midwest.

Albeit somewhat forgetful.

You're another DUer that has been around a long time, who for some reason or another I haven't connected with much.

No particular reason. It's just one of those things.

[KitchenWitch]

90. I think I have posted in your threads a few times

I am a mother of two, an amateur writer, and a Pagan.

[XNASA]

98. I'm gonna keep my eye on you.

I have my suspicions. ;-)

[MrScorpio]

91. I am MrScorpio

Bartender and quizmaster extraordinaire.

Retired warrior and world traveller.

Lover, artist and big time music fan.

We never met

[XNASA]

99. Is it because I'm a Libra?

Libra/Scorpio really don't match up well. I can't think of a single friend who is a Scorpio.

[MrScorpio]

114. I married a Libra

We've been doing fine ever since.

You got me about what the deal is.

Maybe you should try some more

[Dastard Stepchild]

92. Your name looks vaguely familiar...

Mine probably does not.

Researcher. Grad Student. Chicago. Frantically busy at all times. On the blue line.

[XNASA]

101. Blue Line?

You're a Northsider then?

I lived on the Northside for many years. My wife & I were married on the Northside and both of our sons were born on the Northside.

[Dastard Stepchild]

112. I am a Northsider....

60647 zip code, to be exact. :)

[snowbear]

93. We went to different schools together...

Remember? :pals:

[XNASA]

102. Of course I do.

[Skittles]

94. ok

I'm blonde, average height/weight, GI brat but refer to Illinois as home because I was born there and graduated from high school there.

I think I may have threatened to kick your ass at least twice.

[XNASA]

103. You threathened to kick my ass the first time I ever posted in GD...

Years ago.

I'm still emotionally scarred from the experience. :hi:

[Skittles]

113. LOL

you should consider that an honor my sweet :hi:

[terrya]

95. Gay, 48 year old guy...you see me at the Chicago DU meetups now and then.

We also had a memorable interface at Miller's Pub on St. Patrick's Day. :-)

[XNASA]

104. You're WHO now?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

100. I pullen that 9 inch worm out of your ear back in Nam. It's no wonder you'

forgotten as it had eaten a large portion of your brain already.

[XNASA]

106. I'm relieved to hear that it was only a worm.

All these years I've been under the impression that it was a .......nevermind.

[THUNDER HANDS]

105. I'm the guy who used to post sex threads

before they were banned. Now I sell live chickens out the back of my car.

Want to buy a chicken?

[XNASA]

107. I don't think I want to buy a chicken......

...from an oversexed Longislander.

Then again, if I cooked it and ate it I'd probably be doing it a favor.

[dolo amber]

108. Met you in Chicago

the night of my initiation into the *Chicago Mafia*...

My bum still stings. :cry:

[XNASA]

109. I remember you now.

You were with that loser. }(

[Redstone]

110. I wonder what his REAL agenda is here...

Be careful giving out too much information, people. He might be working for the Swedes. If you get a "free sample" of their insidious fish in your inbox, don't open it.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2968476#2970269

Redstone

PS: Yes, we've talked. Don't remember what about, but it was a pleasant exchange.

[SarahB]

116. Ok, me...

I'm SarahBelle, formerly known on DU as populistmom from November 2002-March 2004 (but I didn't post as much then). I'm known for being either pretty nice to people with the occasional chiming in when I see rabidly sexist threads or those telling me that women's issues should be compromised as part of the platform of the Democratic party, but I'm still sometimes a flirt on my own terms. I don't like to get into flamewars and people often underestimate me, but I can match horns with the best of them when I have to. I work in healthcare and I'm halfway through another degree toward being an RN. I'm almost at the end of a divorce to a guy, who, although as left as me, has been somewhat of a misogynist in terms of his relationships with women. Sometimes I whine about that. In person, I'm a bit more reserved, but I have a definite streak of sarcasm as well. Most people find me easygoing, open, and nice to talk to.

We've never met or had many things back and forth with us, but nothing negative I believe either. Overall, you seem like a nice guy to me. :)

[XNASA]

118. I'm surprised by your post.

I'm not very nice at all.

[SarahB]

121. You never been a jerk to me anyway.

So, you're nice in my book. Maybe I don't know you well enough though to evaluate it fully. I'll give you that. :hi:

[Seabiscuit]

117. I'm not good a people's names. I'm a horse that was put out to stud.

[XNASA]

119. That is beautiful.

I'm envious.

[Seabiscuit]

123. It's even better than going to Disneyland. :)

[XNASA]

124. I HATE Disneyland.

:mad:

[Seabiscuit]

130. Even as a kid?

[XNASA]

132. Yes. Except for Alice.

Sweet Alice.

[Seabiscuit]

136. What about Tinker Bell?

[XNASA]

138. How do you know my wife's nickname for my..........

....um.....thumb?

[Seabiscuit]

139. Just good 'ol horse sense.

No wonder you hate Disneyland!

:evilgrin:

[SkipNewarkDE]

120. So THAT's WHY I WENT GAY

That explains it.

[XNASA]

125. Skip?

WTF are you talking about? :shrug:

[SkipNewarkDE]

127. Lame joke

You said, you can't keep all of you straight... and I said... "So THAT'S why I went gay."

Ok, really bad, and not funny when you have to explain it.

[XNASA]

128. Ouch.

Not to worry. It wasn't funny the first 3 times someone else tried the same joke in this thread either.

Aside from that, I must commend you for fessing up.

[SkipNewarkDE]

129. A bad joke thrice over is still a bad joke

(And it was sniffa that turned me gay, not you)

[Misunderestimator]

131. Yeah, but when I said it, it was pretty damn funny...

:D

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=2990365

[SkipNewarkDE]

137. It's all about the timing

and the delivery.


Same goes with jokes.

[redqueen]

122. .

I'm only here weekdays, was born a liberal, and am possibly one of only two T-Rex fans on this board. :P

As for memorable... I'm sure there aren't any, as I'm utterly forgettable. :cry: ;)

[XNASA]

126. I'm not a huge T. Rex fan but....

..the drummer from the last band I was in was in a T. Rex tribute band called, "Futuristic Dragon".

[ScreamingMeemie]

133. Hi, I am MrsGrumpy...

One time you told me I wasn't very much Grumpy at all. Hope that helps. We also just had a nice conversation about Chicago. :hi:

[XNASA]

134. Sorry.

I can't recall any of those things. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

135. No worries...I bore myself into a stupor most days as well.

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

140. I'm the guy you had lunch with today.

How were those crab cakes?
