[QUOTE=Zsofia] So, wait - if I post cleavage pics, do I still have to write the sonnets? [/QUOTE] Why write them yourself? There are people who’d pay good money to writer sonnets on your clevage. Henna would probably work okay. ---

[QUOTE=CaerieD] I think the weekend is the _perfect_ time to launch a few “things you don’t want the board to remember” threads. Like “ **When Was the Last Time You Wet the Bed?** ” [/QUOTE] There are a couple of words missing in that title, but I’m going to have to wait till this weekend to disclose them 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Zsofia] So, wait - if I post cleavage pics, do I still have to write the sonnets? Or can I substitute a perfect mirror fugue? [/QUOTE] Properly skeevy cleavage pictures would, I feel, be a deeper and truer expression of your adoration for the wonderfulosity that is i than the sonnets, and thus be more likely to cause me to relent in my current evil plans. ---

[QUOTE=samclem] This does not compute. People on this board can NOT be goofier. Does not compute. [/QUOTE] I would swear vengeance on you for that bit of slander, but everybody expects that, and I prefer to be more Spanish-Inquisition-like. Besides, I was going to take vengeance on you anyway. ---
