The Daves We Know
Tell us about the Daves you know.

I know four Daves: two college friends of mine, a college friend of my mother's, and myself.

1. Don't get me and Xema started on this.
It will turn into a lot of badmouthing on this thread.

48. I've included you in the good guy group.
Then again, you're not from MO either.

49. Well, thank you.
In all my travels, I've never even lived in MO. IL, but that was then I was a kid.

50. Used to travel often to IL as a child.
I lived in WI and my dad worked in IL-Waukegan/Zion area.

3. Daves are on my listed of banned relationships
Edited on Fri Jan-06-06 04:38 PM by LynneSin
I've had 2 bad relationships with someone named "Dave" so I won't date Daves anymore. I also won't date Seans or any variation of the name Sean. In fact, if there were only Daves & Seans left in this world and I had to find a mate I'd go with the Daves first.

Edit note: I will be friends with Daves & Seans but that's it!

7. Thank you, I'd be honored to be a part of the Anti-Dave group
Of course that means we could never date 2 out of the 3 admins here at DU or GOPisEvil

11. It's a chance we'll have to take.
90% of all Daves are downright evil. Few are nice and decent and most of the decent ones are here on DU.

13. I agree!
Anyhow the admins are spoken for and Dave is like my big brother. So I couldn't date them anyways if I broke my anti-Dave pact

14. Very true.
I even broke my own pact a few months ago and tried another. Found out this week that he was just like the rest of the Daves-an asshole.
Any luck w/ Mikes or Steves? Just looking for another common name to hook up with.

36. Not a big fan of Allens either.
I've dated three Allens. All were jerks while we dated. After we broke up each one came out of the closet. Once they did this we all became friends.
Allens are nice guys just not good dating material(IMO).

34. Mikes are dolls.
Every Mike I've ever known is just adorable. All really good guys.
I know about five of them right now. Of course, I've never dated a Mike.

They probably think they're too good for me! Damn them! :silly:

35. Nearly all the Mikes I know are gay.
Except for my dog-she's a Mike.
The Mikes I know are wonderful-just not interested in women as a rule.

37. Did you sleep w/ another woman while your intended was
pregnant w/ your child? Did you give another woman your intended's jewerly? Do you ignore your child and pretend that she doesn't even exist? Did you play mindgames w/ her and did you choose to not work while your intended put in 80+ hours per week at 3 jobs?

If you can answer no to any of these things, then you are not an asshole.

52. Downright evil??
Like I had a choice what my parents put on my birth certificate.

Well, OK... since I'm downright evil and eveything, I guess I'll just go to Hell and meet Bush & Hitler for tea then....... :evilfrown:

56. Did you meet the Davids that I have met?
And I had stated previously that about 90% of them are evil. So you are probably in the 10% (with GOP) that are not.

BTW-one of my ex Davids would be only too happy to have tea with Hitler. His grandfather, also a David, is probably doing just that.

Also a friend who is a Navy lieutenant. In polite conversation, they're Dave, other Dave, Louisiana Dave, Key West Dave, and Navy Dave.

So we got drunk and sick

These are the Daves I know

Some of them are Davids

They all have their own hands
But they come from different moms

These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Jadiski
Man, this cat can swing
He weighs almost 50 pounds
And he delivers my paper on time

These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

Dave Capisano
I hardly know him

These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know
These are the Daves I know, I know
These are the Daves I know

We are the Daves he knows, he knows
We are the Daves he knows
We are the Daves he knows, he knows
We are the Daves he knows

Some of us them are Davids
But most of us are Daves
We all have our own hands
But we come from different moms

These are the Daves I know, I know
We are the Daves he knows, he knows
These are the Daves

3. My uncle
4. Several second cousins

In my family, when you say Dave, everyone in the room stands up.

my husband. You all would honestly adore him - a lifelong Democrat, a union steward who currently has a complaint filed with the NLRB against his employer, the most honest person I have ever met in my life, and a brand new member of DU!

47. My Dad, Brother, TWO uncles, Brother-in-law & GOPisEvil!
The explanation about two uncles: my mom's brother and my dad's brother. My dad was adopted at a later age by a family who already had a David, so my dad just kept his "birth" last name. Get it? Oh, and my sister just HAD to marry a David. We're drowning with 'em, lol.
