Goodness, someone is feeling her wheaties today.

I’m really ready for the People Pages to be updated now, okay? I’m tired of knowing what all y’all motherfuckers look like and me still being faceless.

Jesus, I can’t believe I’m going out again in four hours. I just got HOME, ferchrissakes!

Sorry sorry, just got back from my daily bible-reading.  
A healthy soul, mind, body and all that crap

Sooooo, let’s start the party back up

See. And people wonder why a good third of my posts make no sense. Attractive women urging me to party hard and party fast. What’s a poor guy to do ☹

::lights the tiki torches, pours everyone a gin and tonic::

No lime? I didn’t see that before, Nym. Shame on you! I hate it when the bartenders don’t squeeze the lime. I bet you always do, oldscratch. Big tips for that!

And I know, it must be _so_ rough being you… :rolleyes:

Well, you don’t even know that I’m attractive, yet. So you should say, “Rasa …party hard, party fast.” And so on. I could be one of those bored suburban housefraus with eight kids.

It is…It is…

ohhhh, the unbearable burden of being oldscratch. Sigh…

It’s a tough life…but someone has to live it.  
anyway back to the party.

Coming along nicely there Rasa. Soon you’ll be up to 401.

So, where’s the debauchery.

I think we left the debauchery on page one… where were we? Oh, you were getting me trashed, oldscratch, with multiple gin and tonics. Nym was giving me drinks with no lime (curse her!)… there was mention of tiki torches, collars, and honey…

You guys did JUST FINE with the debauchery on your own last night. You don’t need this June Cleaver to get you started. Besides, I got plans for this eve. 😃

I just had to note that if we keep this thread going the way it has, I’ll be at 401 before you all know it. Ooo won’t I be cool then? 😉

Hey Mermaid! The party was just starting to die out till you showed up!

I promise, we kept the ferret away from oldscratch.

Drink away, there’s more where that came from.
