You see that thing down there at the bottom of this post? No. Not that one. The other with the smiley’s on it. Yup. That’s it. The one that says “Buddy list.” Click that bad boy for me, please. * * * You did it? Ok. Now you’re my buddy. Friendship is just that easy. Now I can impose on you, get drunk and throw up in your car, Stop by for dinner without invitation. I don’thave to worry about being considerate 'cuz now I’m your buddy and you have to put up with me. If I need a quarter for the soda machine, I’ll be sure and come to you, and I won’t worry about returning that book or that garden tool I borrowed. I can put things on your tab at the bar now. I want to be fair though. If somebody’s my buddy I don’t want to take advantage of them. Post here on my thread and I’ll click your buddy button (You know you like it when I do that,) that way you can call me up at three o’clock in the morning, sobbing and hysterical, or you can borrow my car and drive it into a tree. You’ll be able to feel free to just take anything out of my desk and borrow it without asking. ---

The only reason I’m doing this is 'cause I need a stapler. I can’t find mine right now. I’m borrowing yours, buddy. Hey, I could get used to this. ---

You’re my first and only buddy, **Scylla**. This means you’ll be my wingman and run interference for me at the bar when I’m trying to pick up a chyk, right? ---

You cxan never have too many buddies to drop in on when you are drunk and have written off you own car and need a ride home. So hear I am 🙂 Oooh, I like the new options on this board. I have to try them out. The question is, what do I put that is not gratuitous (sp?) and a waste of time…ooops, too late \ Rick ---
