With Byzzie a 401(k) plan doesn’t refer to a retirement package but rather the decibel level of your orgasm. Just another benefit of working for Byz Intern-national! It’s a job in which you can really move up. And down. And up. And down. And harder. And softer. And… you get the idea. ---

If its a “concrete is a waste of life” clique - COUNT ME IN!!! I fucking hate him. He is allover opals board: I’m lonely I’m a web master I’m a great uncle cuz my stripper sister let me scrounge food for the baby… oh fuck, puh-leeze! As IF anyone would beleive him now!

Why, **Kelli** , I’d love to! Just wait a second while I clear up some misconceptions and turn out this little spotlight. We can get cozier then. As for exclusiveness, **ssskuggiii** , the irony is that this whole thread is based on a rather wacky accusation by a disturbed young man that I, one of the more inclusive (and sometimes not as much excluded as not included) people around, was in some clique. It surprised me, then appealed to me in a sick way as a fun Friday thread. But everybody’s welcome to join. Even him, if he cleans up his act a little. Okay, a lot. But I’m on a low sodium diet, so where’s that vegetable platter I brought? ---

Hiya, drop darlin’ Can I hang around with all of you cool kids? I brought my low-fat, low-sodium but entirely delicious dip, so you don’t have to eat your veggies dry. I am also really handy with a needle and thread, so I can mend any damage that occurs whilst you all are ripping your clothes off in order to play naked twister. (I assume you ARE planning to play twister sans clothing?) Scotti ---

Don’t, I implore you, get sucked into the clothes mending thing! It could lead to emptying ashtrays, cleaning up the john and that crud on the rug. **Duct tape** , that’s the ticket! It not only works on clothing if needed; it _also_…well, use your imagination. Veb ---

Thanks for concerning yourself with my well being, Veb. You are SO right, and I appreciate it! I have always felt that the only things you need to get along in the world are duct tape and WD40. If it can’t be fixed with these two items, it should probably stay broken. OTOH, I actually **enjoy** sewing, so mending would not be a problem. The ash trays, john and crud, however, are not something I am willing to deal with. I may be helpful, but my momma didn’t raise no fool! Have a wonderful weekend- Scotti ---

Hmm, there appears to be cross pollination or something. Perhaps we need to merge all these mini cliques into one grand MOTHER clique. Then we’ll be a force to be reckoned with! Bwha ha ha! Don’t know what we’ll do exactly… um, perhaps we can plant flowers or something nice like that? ---

You have been stringing me along for months, with me thinking you were a girl. But now you PROVE you are really a guy! **Veb** is showing some guyish tendencies, too, with her duct tape suggestion.

(Translation from idiomatic English: Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES! But don’t let my wife know.) Speaking of my wife, she got her own computer today with the intention of going online and maybe creating a web site devoted to arguing about fossil invertebrates. Obviously, she is a natural here, so I expect her to come moseying over at any time. Therefore, I will stop flirting forever or until she starts doing it. :: adopts his stony look :: ---
