LOL! Well, the votes are in. Your definition of a dweeb might vary, of course, but it seems none of you sees me as one, at least not in the bad sense (nodding at **TM** ). Thanks! **TP** , it’s well known that aardvarks are lousy poets. Ok, maybe I don’t know any. Well, there’s that one in the Pink Panther cartoons… I bet he wrote one or two, and if he did, well then I bet they just _sucked_! 🙂 Dan [who is an attention-hog] ---

Guys only do things like that for one reason. It works. If you are a dweeb, your enthusiasm and optimism reflect credit on dweebs everywhere. ---

> [@](#): > > If you are a dweeb, your enthusiasm and optimism reflect credit on dweebs everywhere. Now there’s a compliment. Almost sig material! Thanks. I think I’ve gotten all the pity I can stand. Thank you all for getting me through the day and over the hump (figuratively speaking, you naughty Nellies). This thread can now be closed, if any moderator feels like it. Or not. I’m so ambivalent. I think. ---

Well, I’ve noticed that if you’re not flamingly obvious about it, people rarely notice you ARE flirting. However, even back when I was flirting (lo, these many…days ago), I couldn’t bring myself to type, “Oh yeah, baby, do [obvious action] to my [lame anatomical pun]. I love it when you [random salacious verb]. [Phonetic groans.]” Personally, I’d _rather_ be ignored. > [@](#): > > **lurkernomore:** > Gee, I remembered both as pretty nice… Eh, what do YOU know?

Dan, don’t feel too badly. You have a gift. I can’t even get my own wife to talk, much less flirt, with me in here 🙂 If you are a dweeb, then I am truly pathetic indeed. I’ve run into one person so far that I’ve been able to have something resembling conversation with. Most of my posts and all but one of my emails are ignored. I don’t let it bother me, so you shouldn’t let it get you down either. It’s all about style, and you certainly have it, so be proud of it! ---

Thanks **TD** and **TP** … (man, lotta T’s here… hehe) Yes, sucking can be very good. Very stimulating… Nudge nudge wink wink… Far be it from me to keep you from sucking, **TP**! Thanks, **TDog**. I like **TM** ; I consider her a real good kid. You take good care of her, ok? And don’t let her kick yer ass… she’s an aggressive one, isn’t she? 😛 ---

Sitting at a computer for hours on end has become quite socially acceptable, or, 2. We have gradually all become dweebs as the decade progressed. 3. Hi Opal!
