You know something wierd about this board? I’m not here to meet women, especially college girls, but have gotten to be friends with so many, and they even flirt with me! So many internet pervs would give their left nut to to have the same women flirting with them and the guys here don’t even have to TRY! Maybe that’s it–we aren’t here for that so we don’t try and don’t come across as That Kind of Guy. Guess what? We are That Kind of Guy, at least to an extent, and if you try to produce Physical Manifestations of Arrousal you can be sure that our plumbing still works! So, a toast to the ladies who make the SDMB a place it can be embarassing (but fun) to visit! Bottoms up! ---

Here’s to the trees and flowers in bloom, you in my arms and I in your room. A bird and a bottle and a bed badly tossed, a door that is locked and a key that is lost, and a night that’s a thousand years long. ---

girls, they are great girls, they are grand I wish that one, would give me their hand. I may not be short, and I’m definately not bald, so I wish in my arms, a girl to hold. she does not have to be, a prom or beauty queen, she can look nothing like, a girl from a magazine. I’m sick of the girls, that all look the same, from an assembly line, they look like they came. All dressed up, in Pretty outfits, and slathered on makeup, that gives me the creeps. Ah yes, an all american girl is all I want, One with blue eyes, and not much of a flaunt. Less is sometimes more, in the dating world, I do have a thing though, for girls that in my ear purred. That is my ode, to girls that are attractive, Girls that are most of the time active. Ah yes, Some of the girls at the boards fit, this profile I have, of a girl who I wanna get. Y’all know who you are, thanks bunches everyone 🙂 ---

Well thank you dropzone for the lovely toast. And thank you Zenster for the poetry as well. I will continue to do my best to make this place interesting, but probably not too interesting, because I still want you all to respect me in the morning. 😛 ---

When God made little boys He made them out of string. He had a bit too much So He left a little thing. When God made little girls He made them out of lace. He didn’t have enough So He left a little space. Gentlemen, to space. ::clink:: ---

Ah yes, the SDMB, where we can flirt with all the girls we didn’t have the guts to talk to in high school and college, because they were WAY out of our league. A toast! We shall drink you in with our minds and eyes, as we drink to you with our lips! ---
