I don't know if we've done this before, but this is sort of inspired by Slash's current game and DD's compliment thread.

Here's the deal. You must compliment whoever posts directly before you. The catch? Eventually we'll run out of nice things to say...or will we?

I'll start by complimenting the inspirations since I'm the first post.

Slash, I admire you're decisions and I learn a lot from you.

DD, I wish you were on AIM more because I really dig your company and email isn't sufficient.

Jon, I know, but I thought I should say that anyway. I'm sure you'll let her know, you're just that kind of nice.

(Psst, Jon: you didn't compliment me)

And since Chess slipped in, I like your new name. It's fun to say.

Oops. I guess I misread the rules of the game. Shame on me.

celia, even though you're evil, you're not totally evil. You're kind of like Darth Vader. Sure, he strangled people to death and even tried to kill his own son, but in the end, that tiny little core of good inside of him won out. That's what I like about you. You're evil enough to be fun, yet you've still got that soft spot.

How was that?

Jon Boy is so great that he does, in fact, deserve Diosmel Duda, as witnessed by his willingness to play along with his lynching in another thread.

Edit: Not that I know DD at all, but she seems pretty danged great since even Celia compliments her frequently! [Embarrassed]

Rakeesh, at the risk of sounding conservative I'd have to say that you're one of the most even-handed rightists on the board. It's always a pleasure to prove you wrong. [Big Grin]

Caleb, you go out of your way to help others, and you have a deep caring for people.

Celia, I don't know if you are going to post on this again, but I'm not going to wait for it. I was listening to Billy Joel last night when a particular verse reminded me of you.

From "She's Always a Woman to Me"

She will promise you more than the garden of Eden
She will carelessly cut you and laugh while your bleedin.
She brings out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself cause she's always a woman to me.

So ya...

Caleb - You can unaccountably push on your eyeballs through their lids and simultaneously make large bubbles with your bubblegum.

I can't say I don't admire that.

Nathan - You beat me to complimenting Caleb. That's something I respect.

I admire my ability to compliment the person who posts in front of me in only TWO tries!

T_Smith, you are one funny guy. You make me worry about the goofy things my son is going to do when he's your age, but your heart is big and you are sweet.

(And I always thought that song describe me rather well. [Razz] )

(man! Ralphie screwed everything up!)

Do her next!

Ralphie, you poopy head. You always make me hoot. I love you like a sister. Well, not really. I actually like you, so, better than a sister. [Smile] You show amazing patience when discussing sensitive subjects and you always amaze me, whether you are being funny or serious. Hugs, sweetie.

::cant figure out whos supposed to be complimented::

EDIT: all three!

Kayla, your research always comes in handy, and you even find ways to make me laugh sometimes.

ralphie, even though you make fun of my truck, you are still cool to talk to, even if i dont talk to you much lately.

saxon: its alwyas fun to go back and forth with you, and you have like twice my amount of posts despite the fact that we registered around the same time. and you are my uncle. [Wink]

Ralphie, baby, you're like cow bell to me: I got a fever, and the only prescription is more. And you have eminently good taste, as evidenced by the way you follow me around.

Kayla, sometimes I find you a bit intimidating (I think you could probably take me in a fight), but between your sense of humor and your inexhaustible Google abilities, you add something to every thread you post in.

Apostle, I love you like a nephew, or even a stepchild. Even if you don't have red hair.

Edit to add: Apostle, it is always interesting to hear your personal experiances meeting the various musical icons.

I'll have you know that I have a great relationship with my stepfather. Probably helps that I don't have red hair either. [Razz]

[Edit: It's not that I want to hear the compliments about me, it's just that I've got so much saxon-love to spread around. Well, OK, fine, but who doesn't like to hear a few nice things every now and then? Or four or five? But whoever goes next should do HDD, anyway.]

Rakeesh gives kick a$$ compliments. and he's a conniving, manipulative, sly little devil. i mean that in the nicest way possible.

saxon75 holds his own against the likes of celia60. a feat accomplished by few. he also has the same name as the talking cat in my 10th Kingdom fanfiction. and for that i will always like him.

Leonide, you totally awesome and one heck of a good person. Thanks for encouraging me in the "10 little Meme's" thread. Though I don't think I really did much with it, and probably was the one that killed it, you still encouraged me to do something with it. Thanks.

Ryuko -- I'm impressed to hear how you think people will still be interested in having you around in a year.

I've always appreciated how Tony rules this forum with an iron fist and allows nary a dissent.

I also like her use of tired links. I'm sure someone will think it's funny.
