Maybe, but **Scylla** does have one of the better senses of humour on the boards.

No need to be confused. We all know you lean to the right.

Rich, powerful, often reasonably handsome/charismatic… if they’d just gone to the average singles bar they’d get all the tail they could possibly handle.

Don’t forget the advantage of not coming home to a rabbit boiling on your stove.
