Was there ever a luckier girl? I think not. Dire that was supreme. I don’t know how to thank you (but I’m betting fierra does 😃 ) That was wonderful. Thank you everyone for stopping by! _sniff_ Yeah, Pergau…that’s weed. You know what they say, though. Dance with Mary Jane, and you’ll get your toes stepped on. I’m content just to second-hand smoke. The hamster/frog reference was borne of the THREAD. You know which one. I was lamenting my uncanny ability to only kill the threads I wanted to keep alive–likening my habit of doing that to a child loving a hamster too tightly. The ‘hamster’ thread I was talking about had to do with being naked while at the computer (no, not me. I had my robe 😉 ). Shamafrog found that nearly lifeless thread and posted to it–thereby saving my hamster. Theoretically. I was so moved by her kind act that I added it to my sig. Aren’t you sorry you asked? Where is all the blatant, gratuitous flirting? Where are all the thinly-veiled sexual innuendos? No one has once uttered the fabled, “How YOU doin’?” What am I doing wrong? I need some more sham-pag-nah. ---

‘Internal massage?’ I have never heard it put quite like that. Very interesting phrasology. Can I start out with just the suggestive leer? 😉 ---

You’re quite welcome, struut, you little vixen. How about you and fierra **both** thank me at the same time? 😉 Figures. The one time I go left lung in The Thread I miss not only the hamster story, but the chance to behold your nakedness as you were perched at the computer. Oh what I wouldn’t give to be your chair! Zenster, that was classic. \*Internal massage…\*indeed! ---

Well, truth be told, I wasn’t exactly naked. But…whatever sails your boat, Dire. I’m happy that it made you happy. I think I’m going to have to incorporate ‘internal massage’ into my vocabulary. 😃 ---

Hey, what, you thought that I’d let this thread die afore I’d made an appearance? Hell, I’d never miss it for the world. Though, this loin cloth is kind of riding up on me… :o Oh, yeah, it’s on backwards. Oops. Well, here’s to struuter, one of my all-time favoritist dopers in the whole wide world! HAPPY 1000TH! ---

Struuter, I got here as quick as I could. Many, many congrats on so many wonderful posts. You’re a real sweetie here. Here’s to many more!!! dpr, \ How YOU doin’, sugar? Why don’t you come up and see me sometime? 😉 My, my! So many men, so little time. Why, what’s a lonely girl to do? Hmmm… Zenster, you may well become one of my favorite posters, you keep talking like that! Jester, dear. Come here and let me help you with that loincloth. No, really. I insist! 🙂 I think I’ll just sit here, in my purple bikini, drinking my champers and eating strawberries and cream, and contemplate just how long it’s been since my last _‘internal massage’_… Nope, too depressing. Instead, I’ll think about my **next** one! 😛 ---

Struuter, I pretty much never attend post parties any more, because I’m tired of attending them only to see the people in question vote for someone else instead of me in the popularity threads. But for someone who’s been so kind to me, I’ll make a very rare exception. Happy 1000th! However, > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by struuter \* > **Where is all the blatant, gratuitous flirting?

Well, I’m so happy that so many people showed up. I have to say that these kind of things are invaluable to the old self-esteem. I just sat here catching up on all the posts grinning with delight. I don’t usually require much in the way of warm fuzzy, and this was much more than I expected. Thanks! Zen, I will never think of the words ‘internal’ or ‘massage’ the same way again. I have all kinds of naughty responses to it, but I’ll show some unexpected reserve and spare everyone. Thanks for being here, sweetie. dpr, How YOU doin’? I can always count on you to look after me, can’t I? I especially like the way your eyebrows lift slightly when you say that. Hot. Very hot. 😉 Jester, take the loin cloth off. Now. You can, if you must, borrow my robe. I think you’ll remember it… {{smooch}} purp, _happy dance_ YEH! Thanks for coming! Having the most loved person around here show up means a lot. Are these men treating you right? Are they flirting and fawning over you enough? Hey, you men! Get over here! Drench this lovely woman with carnal delights! And chocolate! Daniel, YES! I’ll have one of your massages. They are fabled within the halls of the SDMB, you know. But maybe purp should go first? As the hostess I feel my guests’ happiness comes first. Thanks for whipping it out too. 😉 Scotti! Thank you for coming! Ever had an internal massage? I’m thinking maybe we oughta check that out. What do you think? Zen…oh Zen… DRY, how could you ever think you could strike out? Are you mad? Uh-uh. I’m afraid you won’t get out of it that easily. Just don’t start quoting the bard yet–I don’t want to swoon in front of all these people. 😉 Audrey, I know for a fact that you are at all the best party threads–so that bodes well for mine. 🙂 Can I get you anything? Sham-pag-nah? Chocolate? Scantily clad men? Somebody mentioned scented oils earlier. That’s sounding really good to me. Thanks again everybody. You’re the best.
