Paladin Elspeth (and that way I get to meet Curmudgeon too!)

Actually I would like to meet almost anyone who visits this area, particularly Renger, if he ever visits the U. S. I would like to be able to travel, but severe osteoarthritis makes that difficult, but ...



I made this nomination last year. I haven't changed my mind, (no flip-flop ) so I second it this year.

I'd like to meet Nebraska. He looks like many of my cousins and he's got 2 (almost 3) boys and so do I.
He's from the midwest like me. Heck, we're probably related!

I'll second Nebraska.

This one is difficult. Having met Jaime, Mike, limpubus, CubeJockey, Paladin Elspeth, Curmudgeon, Shego, Mr. and Mrs. Pigpen, and Eeyore, and kinda feeling like I know Cyan, kimpossible, AbsLikeJesus, Corvus, and johnlocke through correspondence, livejournals, and other media, I guess the next on my list would be Dontreadonme - though several others would loom large as well.

The member I would most want to see? Though question, lot of options. Last year I think I nominated Wertz (for he had plans to go to come to my little country, but unfortunately something came in between. I would still like to see him. The same applies to Moif. Would love to drink a beer with him. Or drink a nice cup of coffee with Bof, the Sage of Coffeehouse. There are many more on my list, like Mrs. Pigpen, Julian, Turnea, Nighttimer, Paladin Elspeth, Jaime, Mike, Eeyore ... etc etc.


But ... for this year I will nominate Vermillion. I am really wondering how he looks like, cause up to now I can only identify him with his avatar and hopefully he looks very different in real live. Besides that it is always interesting for me to talk about history and Vermillion certainly knows more than enough.

I'd have to say unequivocally.... Nighttimer.

I find it funny that we often get so heated on this board. Most people in life get along just fine. We generally spend time with neighbors, peers, and friends talking about the score of the Rangers game, the last golf game, or the sale on hickory chips at Home Depot. I can't say most of my interactions with people of same OR different backgrounds have anything to do with race or socio-economic strata.

I'd be interested to see if we could find common ground over a cold beer (or cup of coffee... see, I don't even know if NT drinks beer).

Many on this board have families, lives, grass to cut, the plight of expensive gas, and the fight of growing old (and its effect on knees, waistlines, etc).

NT and I generally never agree on AD. I'd love to see how things work out face to face...

This is the hardest category! There are so many people I've wanted to meet over the years. I would love to meet quarkhead to talk about music, kids, and politics. I would love to meet Wertz so he could get me caught up on all of the wonderful movies I've missed over the years (and of course, to talk about politics). I'd love to meet Jaime and bake her *real* chocolate chip cookies in exchange for a guided tour of Savannah. But, this year I'll have to go with...

I started listing off folks I'd like to meet, and the list got so long, I had to delete it for fear of offending anyone I might have accidentally left off. I'd probably like to meet just about everybody. Anybody for a meetup, convention, staged protest, 2008 caucus crash, flash mob, Boston tea party, etc.? Well, in the meantime, I'll nominate CruisingRam, because time's running out on nominations, and I'd wonder what went wrong if his name weren't on the ballot for this award.
