Have you ever been touched by fellow DUer?

[prolesunited]

With a tip of the hat to Bleachers7 for the idea.

[pmbryant]

1. No

Never even seen one.

I'm not sure they even exist. ;-)

--Peter

[prolesunited]

6. Now, Peter

That's not entirely true. You have seen one. :hi:

[TahitiNut]

9. We don't. We're figments.

As the great sage and seer Lily Tomlin says ... "Sometimes I feel like a figment of my own imagination."


(Well, the Buddha said "All that we are is a result of what we have thought." Why would anyone laugh at Tomlin?)

[renegade000]

93. well i can't speak for everyone

but i don't...

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. yeah..even had one stick her tongue in my mouth

[Khephra]

92. I've slept with Will and LynneSin

and touched many DUers. Hugged them even.

(Slept as in shared a bed. Nothing naughty. ;-) )

[gator_in_Ontario]

3. I hope so...

my wife comes in here!:)

[prolesunited]

7. Hmm...

Who's your wife? Are you at liberty to say?

[Lefta Dissenter]

4. Just TODAY, in fact!!!

of course, it was my sister, DUer "Birthday." But hey, a hug is a hug, and a DU hug is even better! :pals:

[geniph]

5. I'm married to one

plus I've met about a dozen in real life.

[JohnKleeb]

8. lol yeah you were there

[flamingyouth]

10. I shared pie with one not 24 hours ago!

:D

[Whitacre D_WI]

83. Dammit!

I want some pie!

[Blue-Jay]

11. I shook Pitt's hand.

Does that count?

:D

[brainshrub]

61. I had a beer with him once.

Cool guy.

[prolesunited]

74. But did you touch him?

He gave me a hug. :-)

[brainshrub]

81. I shook his hand,

but I got no hug.

I think he did buy a pitcher tho'. I would rather have a free pitcher of beer than a hug. (I get hugged all the time, but free beer is a treat.)

[Skittles]

77. I hugged William

he's a cuddly thang. :thumbsup:

[DemExpat]

85. Another Will Pitt hand shaker/hugger here!

:kick:

DemEx

[prolesunited]

94. That man surely gets around

and spreads himself around!

Perhaps I should start a poll:
Who hasn't touched Will Pitt?

[Melsky]

12. Yes

and I sold my house to his friend!

[SarahB]

13. Who has touched me

Matcom
StoptheInsanity
SiobbanClancy
notmyprez
curse10
Amaya
WillPitt
RationalRose
DS1

One DUer touched my heart though. Wish I could send big hugs across the country to make him feel better. :hug:

Sorry if I missed anyone, thought I touched you, but didn't or misspelled you name.

[DS1]

14. Plenty

[blondeatlast]

15. Sal316 AND Will Pitt!

I miss Sal, anybody know wassup? He was gonna run for City Council.

Yes, the great Will Pitt. Alas, I'm happily married, but for one brief, shining moment...

[Amaya]

86. I haven't heard from Sal in weeks

I'm making a trip out that way in 2 weeks. Thought I might see him. But... I dunno?:( Hope he's all right :shrug:

[Aristus]

16. I shook the hand of geniph and JohnYawl!

And we got mildly schmershed together. If I want to have sex with a DU-er, though, I'm gonna have to convert my wife. ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

24. John and I did a table dance for geni!

She claims not to remember...

[Aristus]

30. She probably doesn't.

She's a tiny little lady. A little liquor goes a long way for her, I'm sure. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

49. tiny yes...

But she threw my big fan at my kitty! :-( Yes, she was drinking Mike's Hard Lemonade.

(I am almost as big as John - you should see Geni between us)

[geniph]

55. John says, that when I'm with him and his kids

(who are both bigger than he is), I look like a Jack Russell running with a pack of Rottweilers. I like to point out that a Jack Russell, being 100% attitude, will kick a Rottie's ass.

And I did not throw the damn fan! I fell over on it. Kiko just happened to be lurking behind it. Poor Kiko!

[Zomby Woof]

59. notice how I embellish that story each time?

:evilgrin:

In the next version, it will be an airplane, that you built from appliances in my kitchen. ;-)

[camero]

17. A couple of phone calls

Tinoire and Loftycity. It's nice to hear a voice sometimes instead of just staring at the screen. And both are what I would call elite human beings. The best of the best.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

18. I think so....

:hi:

[SOteric]

19. 'Touched' in what sense...?

[DrWeird]

20. Catwoman touched me on my special place.

I NEED AN ADULT! I NEED AN ADULT!

[GOPisEvil]

Yes...in many ways.

I've been physically touched by multiple DUers. Multiple times, too!

I've also been emotionally, and intellectually touched by mutliple DUers on multiple occasions.

:-)

[m-jean03]

75. it is touching how you go

out of your way to be a real nice guy .:)

[GOPisEvil]

78. *blush*

It's nothing, really...just being me. :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. PassingFair, both in reality and emotionally...she has touched my

heart many times. She is a true and wonderful person. :hi:

[sweetheart]

22. Once shook "oggy"'s hand

And have had my heart touched by many of y'all.

[Zomby Woof]

[nini]

25. No... but how do I sign up to be

:evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

27. Make me an offer!

:evilgrin:

[nini]

31. What? do I need to pay?

:shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

35. Not at all...

...but atmosphere is everything. ;-)

On edit - LynneSin offered her couch so I could travel cheap. Every little bit helps. :D

[nini]

38. well considering I'm still sitting at my desk..

guess that won't work.


You sure you're not afraid of Amazons?

hahahha

[GOPisEvil]

40. GO HOME!!!!

It's 5:00!

Hell, you don't skeer me...ask Skittles - I love abuse! :P

[nini]

45. I can't go home yet.

I'm waiting for some legal info for one of our websites. Trying to pull this info from Microsoft is making me crazy!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz


One of these all of us are going to have to meet in Vegas or something. I feel so far out of the loop over here :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

48. I have been known to travel to meet DUers!

Chicago in October 2002 (admittedly I was there for the Breeder's Cup, but I met DUers there).
Philly last year.
Philly again in April.
I've driven to Houston and San Antonio, too.

I LOVE SoCal though...maybe if you guys do a gathering in the summer or something...<hint>

[nini]

52. Only if you do the driving -

:-)


we'll have to do that. I think one was planned a while ago but I missed it and I'm not even sure it occured. I think it was around my last cruise so I was out in the midddle of the ocean partaking in vodka tasting :P

[GOPisEvil]

53. Driving in SoCal is the closest to racing I'll ever get!

I actually know my way around fairly well, too. :-)

[nini]

56. well, you can drive my 90 Maxima then

207k miles on this baby and yesterday on my way to San Diego I was trying to get away from a tailgater and had to do some manuevering.. I looked at the speedometer and was going 100 MPH!! ha I about pee'd my pants. I never drove this car that fast before and was pleasantly surprised it was doing it so well that it wasn't shaking etc..

There's a race track around here somewhere where the public can go drive the race cars. that would be fun.

[GOPisEvil]

60. Nissans run forever!

I have a 1994 Infiniti G20. Only 90k miles, but when I bought it from my mom 2 1/2 years ago, it had 30k. I broke the motor mounts - I'm taking it in for service next week. It still zooms quite nicely too!

I'm wondering if that track is Irwindale...

[nini]

63. I don't think it's Irwindale.. but not sure.

I love my car. I bought it used in 95 and it's been great. I told my mechanic that as long as the engine is still working as good as it is I don't care if little things aren't working - like the antenna won't go up and down anymore.. I hate car payments and would rather travel with my money.

[GOPisEvil]

65. Damn straight!

I'm going to spend about $1000 on fixing my car, but that's better than a monthly payment. Ugh!

As long as the A/C and stereo work, I'm fairly happy. :-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Don't make me drive to LA two nights in a row

[nini]

33. LOL I cruised through the OC yesterday to and from San Diego

I waved at ya! :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. I could have been on the 405 right next to ya

[nini]

41. we could've gotten out of our cars and played cars in the A.M

GOD it took me FOREVER to get from Seal Beach to Irvine. I felt like I was stopped for hours.


All to get to San Deigo for a root canal! what a life.

:-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

46. San Diego for a root canal????

I have the COOLEST most reasonable dentist in the whole wide world in Fountain Valley right off the 405...and ouch!!! poor baby..you had to drive home after a root canal?

[nini]

47. My brother is a dentist and he's down there in the old Town area

It's a pain to drive there sometimes... but the price is right :-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

50. OK well I can't beat that

I love Old Town and rather enjoy the Tequileria

[nini]

51. Is that on a corner with outside seating?

where everyone is getting drunk? :-) I'll have to check that out.

I haven't been there.. usually go to Old Mexico cafe (or something like that).

[nini]

54. I'll definitely have to go there.. look at this shot!!!

[GOPisEvil]

57. Woohoo!!! Lookie there!!!

Yum!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you ever get to Austin, there's several places to get Mexican Martinis. :9

[nini]

58. Mexican maritinis? sounds good

what's in them?

[GOPisEvil]

62. Basically a margarita shaken in a cocktail shaker...

...served in a margarita glass. Some add cointreau and other nice stuff! :9

[nini]

64. drool...

oh yeah.. I can handle those!

those sound like they could get me in some trouble :evilgrin:

[GOPisEvil]

66. Speaking from experience - they are definite trouble causers

[nini]

70. tsk tsk.... maybe one day I'll tell you my Acapulco story

hee heee


I get to run out of here now! woohoooo.

My Lakers are on tonight you know so I must hurry!!


later!

[GOPisEvil]

71. Bye!

Drive safe! :hi:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

79. They have about 700 different kinds of tequila

fortunately there is a great hotel right up the street...walking distance

26. Once, but the restraining order stopped that mighty quick

:spank:

[Mr. Socko]

29. Nope.

I just touch myself.

[NightTrain]

32. You mean, literally?

If so, then the answer is no. A week from now, however, the answer more than likely will be yes! :bounce:

[Whitacre D_WI]

34. No.

That is disgusting.

[greatauntoftriplets]

36. I've had multiple pajama parties with one!

And nothing happened, LOL.

[LastKnight]

:loveya: DU

[DemoTex]

72. Got a hug from the incredibly beautiful LiberalTexan

At the Mockingbird Bridge peace rally on 11/4/2002. Shook hands with argyl there too.


(That's my dog by the concrete ball in the center of the picture).

[GOPisEvil]

76. I got not one, but two, hugs from LiberalTexan!

It was my lucky day! :7

[TahitiNut]

91. DUers make REALLY good huggers!

Ubetcha. Healthy stuff. Uh-huh. Let's make the world safe for hugging -- it might be a better goal than the one we had about 35 years ago, huh? :pals:

[ronnykmarshall]

73. Catwoman!

She always touches my heart! :loveya:

Not to leave out the rest of you, cuz y'all make me a little misty from time to time.

Oh THAT kinda touch!!!

I hugged Working Class Hero and drank with him several times.

[dbt]

82. Yes! Desertrose ALWAYS touches me...

And we live 1500 miles apart!

:loveya: DR!!!!!!!
dbt

[Mobius]

84. GOPisEvil copped a feel in a group hug once.

It was however, virtual.

[GOPisEvil]

90. I haven't washed that hand yet.

I feel so Marcia Brady...lol...:silly:

[Amaya]

87. I've met two

[JanMichael]

Depending on your mindset, either TMI or some juicy details waiting to be spilled. ;-)

[bhunt70]

95. I wish.
