Do you know me?

[Pale Blue Dot]

OK, my fiance's at work, and I ventured into GD. It was a mistake, I know.

I posted a snippy and totally uncalled-for thread there because I'm sick of every single person who speaks out against Bush being criticized by somebody on these forums. Anyway, that's not a rant for the Lounge. I'm sorry.

My point is, people in GD are actually asking who I am. I have almost 8,000 posts here. Have I really become such an invisible man?

Do you know me? :cry:

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Awwww GEE FinnFan!

I recognize you! :hug: :loveya:

Forget GD...you are known and loved here! :hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. Thanks!

[yvr girl]

2. I know you

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

7. Thanks!

And if I read between the lines, you have a new romance. Congrats! I hope you and your SO have found happiness. :hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. Aren't you that dude from the thing?

:D

Just kidding. I know you, and I also know that you are engaged to SarahBelle, correct? :hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

9. Right! Remember when we did that stuff? That was so cool.

And yes, I am the luckiest man alive. That was your question, right?

:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

10. Yep -- that's her in the avatar, right?

[Pale Blue Dot]

17. ...sigh...yeah...

:loveya:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

18. When's the wedding date?

[Pale Blue Dot]

23. Early January.

We're planning to get married somewhere off the Florida Keys.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

27. Cool!

:thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

5. Sure I know you. You're an okay guy!

I'll buy you a beer anytime.

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. Thanks, Joan

I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you more, but the bar was loud, I had just gotten engaged and I was on cloud 9... you know how it goes.

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

29. It's not a problem.

I can't hear very much when I'm in a bar.


It was great meeting you.

[arwalden]

6. Maybe It Wasn't So Much "Who ARE You"...

... as much as it was "who do you think you ARE??" or "who the hell do you think YOU are??"

People are hard to figure out sometimes.

[Pale Blue Dot]

13. I think I'm George Clooney.

I look like Richie Cunningham, but I think I'm George Clooney. :shrug:

[johnnie]

8. Yup, I know ya

But I understand. I think I am pretty unknown here and I am coming up on 15,000 posts. There are just a lot of people here.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. Thanks! But, who are you again?

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Finnfan!

Of course, I know you! And you are one cool guy!

You are NOT invisible...not even a little bit!

Sheesh......some people in GD...what is their problem? :eyes:

You should stay here, where we know you really well....:hug:

[Pale Blue Dot]

16. I think I should be more generous in my use of smilies.

For instance, I could say that California Peggy is a great gal! :woohoo:

Who always has something positive to say! :bounce:

Except when she uses the word "fuck". :thumbsdown:

Then she's a big potty-mouth! :hide:

Thanks! :hug:

[mwdem]

15. Of course I know you, and your lovely fiance.

Why in the hell would you venture into GD? :hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

20. I've actually been trying to keep up with politics lately

And GD can have some great information when we're not busy eating our own.

:hi:

[mwdem]

24. I get you,

but it's hard out there. Say hi to Sara for me. :-)

[Haole Girl]

19. I know you and I'm still new

:hi:

[Pale Blue Dot]

22. If you're new, I should tell you that I'm

6'5" and incredibly handsome. :yoiks:

[mwdem]

26. ...and engaged!!

[Haole Girl]

30. Hey, that's still nice that you're handsome

I'm hitched anyway. But even if I wasn't I would congratulate you. When's the big date?

[Pale Blue Dot]

33. Early January.

:woohoo:

[Pale Blue Dot]

31. Umm...

And I'm 5'6". You won't tell anyone, will you?

[Haole Girl]

32. My lips are sealed!

Shhhh...not so loud everyone! HA!

[mwdem]

34. No, you're not.

s'okay. I'm 5'10" and I'll trade.

[Pale Blue Dot]

36. My future step-daughter is taller than me.

So far, she likes being tall.

And my son (11), is almost my height.

I'm actually a shrimp! :cry:

[mwdem]

39. Shrimps are a good thing!

Just ask your fiancee!;-)

On the other hand, most women of my "stature" are mostly overlooked. We miss out on over half of the male population. (and I'm not that tall!)

[Pale Blue Dot]

41. Actually, I have a funny story

Sarah and I met here, on DU, in fact. We might have been together sooner, but for two things: I was leery of meeting someone online, and, because of a post she had written, I was convinced that she was only interested in taller guys (she's about 5' 5"). Thankfully, I was reading that wrong.

Right before her, I dated someone who was 5'10". It didn't work out. Not because of her height, but because a) she was dumb as rocks, and b) she thought Bush was "a very nice man". (The two are not mutually exclusive).

So what I'm saying is, be proud of your stature! (Although if you'd really like to trade, I'll meet you in Surgery tomorrow.)

[mwdem]

42. Okay, I know I'm not like that 5'10" person.

and I know about you and Sarah from the beginning and I wish you both the best. My SO and I have been together for over 33 (!) years, and I've been very happy with my height, just hard to find good slacks to fit me. Best of luck to you and Sarah!:hug:

[TroubleMan]

21. I recognize you as being on DU for a while....

and I know that based on your fiance...you've got to be a pretty good guy and not a freeper, because she's a really nice person and definitely a liberal.

That's okay, though....I'm way more invisible on DU. I'm not even a blip on the radar, and I've been here a while.

[Pale Blue Dot]

25. My fiancee and I are both big Marvin Gaye fans

So you've blipped on our radar. :thumbsup:

[wildhorses]

28. long time, no see but, yeah I recognize ya ...

:hug: always remember what khashka said: "stay the fuck out of GD"

[Pale Blue Dot]

35. True, but...

You can learn a lot of great things there if you can ignore the sniping.

[havocmom]

37. Yep and I am damned happy to see you

Haven't seen much of you for quite a spell. Have I been looking at the wrong threads or did you take a break before ya had to hurst someone? ;)

[Pale Blue Dot]

38. I've been enjoying real life.

I still post 2 or 3 times a week, but spending a Saturday night alone is rare for me nowadays. :D

[havocmom]

40. Life is good. Especially an enjoyable one.

Am glad to hear you are busy with enjoying... :thumbsup:

[WCGreen]

43. I know you........

[Pale Blue Dot]

44. ...

:D

Peace... all is peace in the Lounge. :hug:

[WCGreen]

45. You got that right......

[leftofthedial]

46. who?

huh?

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

47. If you ain't GD, you ain't shit.

At least according to the fucking elitist pseudo-intellectual bunch that shares that space with the smart folks over there.

By the way, I not only know you, I've shared beers with you. :beer:

[jukes]

48. i know you, FinnFan

been awhile since i've seen you, but i have been absent till recently.

:hi:

[Mutley]

49. I don't think we've ever spoken but I know who you are.

I've seen you around. :shrug:

Some people are just overly suspicious and paranoid.

[jonnyblitz]

50. i know your fiance and I am good friends with her good friend,

DUer Amaya (who barely posts anymore)but I have never met you yet even though I live "down the street" pretty much so you can add me to the list of people who will vouch for you. :hi:

[bearfan454]

51. You're the SO of who used to be PopulistMom

aren't you ?

[WilliamPitt]

52. He looks like John Travolta, dude

Don't try to deny it.

[DS1]

53. Yes, I know who you are

however, GD has become sort of weird recently, my own mother even tried to win an argument by suggesting that she knew someone else here personally, which is completely irrelevent, but she was also baited into it.

Stupid place, really.

[jonnyblitz]

56. how lame. somebody insinuated I was a freeper awhile back

they apparently never saw a picture of me. :rofl: :rofl:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

54. yes i know you

say hi to the fiance from me

[bridgit]

55. eh, that's just the way they are over there...
