I am both flattered and flattened by your kind words http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif - are there two Punki & Hunki teams? I think we should be told.

Has the real Punki perhaps been kidnapped my airport security screeners and replaced with a close facsimile?

I certainly met a Punki and a Hunki who were together on Friday night in the Big Bar quite late and even showed them where to find the ATM machine as all three of us left together - if that was indeed you I wonder what impression I must have left you with!

It was lovely to meet you both even if you weren't quite sure who I was - hope to meet again and make a more memorable impression in the future! (Seattle is on my list of places to visit anyway - have to get there for the coffee!)

Regards,

Sarah

Maybe if you just let people in, let them really get to know you ...


Ling Jun 3, 2002 3:36 pm

er..davistev,what kinda love you looking for?

TravelWeary, you're on my list, too! So many buddies in common, and you're so close, too. Of course, I never met shadow until he moved to Los Angeles. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/rolleyes.gif

arturo, babe, is that the skinniest to rubenesque and shortest to tallest? Or Chub to stick and amazon to midget? Wait. Wrong factors. A-Z or Z-A. Real name, last name, handle name, whatever name? You are the man, name the time and place! You never took me up on the last offer...

I've been lucky to meet half of the posters to this thread, and half of the people on the lists. I will always think of dim sum and drowning in the river rapids when I see Randy's name in print. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Ling questions:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">So WHO would you like to meet, and have you met your goal?</font>
Is the question:

Who would you like to meet?

- or -

Who would you like to meet that you have never met before?

I have entirely different lists for each of the above. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Pacha Jun 3, 2002 4:07 pm

hmm, who would I like to meet?

the sober FTer!!!

That's what I mean, Mr. Love.

Me. dgolds. magic111. n_jflyer. RichG.

How many more should I list? There's your five. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Punki Jun 3, 2002 4:35 pm

Sarah, I don't really count meeting dozens of people for just a few minutes in huge crowds--I am lucky to remember any of them. I like the big parties, but they are a bit overwhelming and I like to have them intersperded with small gatherings where people really have a chance to talk and get to know one another.

Let us know when you come to SEA and we will have another Mexican Soiree in your honor, of course, that means getting to know Chex. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif


TravelManKen Jun 3, 2002 4:43 pm

This is hard - o.k. in alpha order:

BoSoxFan45
cactuspete
crankyusi
doc
eastwest
Goldlust
kanebear
pynchonesque
techgirl
tvl4free

partial list http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

So there were 10, everytime that I tried to stop I kept thinking of more. There are another 5-6 that just came to mind, but I'll stop under protest.

CozumelJen Jun 3, 2002 5:09 pm

haaaa! I also thought of Jag0052!!! Maybe I can get upgraded on Infinite Airways. And, I still want to meet BBQPorkSandwich ....

opus17 Jun 4, 2002 12:14 am

I want to meet all the FT's whom I haven't met who post complimetry replies to my trip reports, and say they are funny.

I want them to say those things to me in person, so I can stroke my enormous ego.

Either that, or I'm deeply insecure and need constant validation.

I'm a baaaaaad man.

(Also -- I do want to meet arturo, since I don't know of anyone else who can speak fluent Klingon. And essxjay, since she seems to have serious "'tude", and I have to admire that.)

svpii Jun 4, 2002 6:00 am

Gosh - this is unfair. Five is just waaay too low.. BUT - I'll pick a few that come to the top of my feeble mind. Listed in alpha order:

Arturo
Chexfan
Comicwoman
Doc
Dorian
Essxjay
Fewmiles
Gaucho100k
Geo1004
HFly
Jan_Az
Kanebear
Kidpachinko
Kyklin
Ling
Merry
Onefreeman
Quiet Lion
Robb
Rosemarie
SanDiego1K
Snake
TravelWeary
Wharvey


And in case I actually HAVE met some of you, just write it off to a senior moment or an altered state of consciousness. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Now I'm thinking if I could add this list to the wonderful folks here that I HAVE met, we could one hell of a pool side party. You guys come on down to Hickory, NC!

Edited because I keep remembering folks.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

shadow Jun 4, 2002 3:16 pm

Great thread Ling.

Hadn't realized just how many FT'ers I have met until reading here.

I guess I'm lucky to have been in the company of Randy, PremEx, stimpy, auh20, burkey, TropicalFlyer, AnnaS, QuietLion, Punki/Hunki, essxjay, Ling, newself, MRLIMO, Catman, Rudi, kokonutz (+ all his other persona) and so many others a number of times in the past 3 years.

Tough to keep it to just 5, OK just 8...
arturo
baobab
Boomer
chexfan
Merry
geo1004 (at PDX Brewfest hopefully)
JAWS
snake


I may be one of the only people here who HASN'T met chexfan. I have met Dorian & Village Idiot...does that count? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I am of the opinion that the big crime on FT (to date) is that Punki and baobab have not met. They are the jewels in the FT Crown IMHO. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif


chexfan Jun 4, 2002 4:02 pm

JAWS_II Jun 4, 2002 7:59 pm

Ahhhh, yes. The elusive Jaws surfaces for this very special thread.

Who and how many do I want to meet?
Let's see, let me count the neat,
There's Santa, and iduR, and many more,
Just too many to cherish and adore.

I do not drink except for one very special occasion I had with a lady friend recently. I give away all my drink coupons I get from the RCC club for traveling business class. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
