**Priam** , sweetie, it’s time to stop ogling and, oh, I don’t know, [say hello](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?action=mailform&userid=4245) or something? And for the record, there is enough of me to go around. So the line forms here, and if y’all don’t feel like waiting in line, we can work something out for that too.\* \*could also use some hugs and affection seeing as how the gay men in Madison seem to be pretty uniform in their swinishness lately ---

All bark, no bite hon. But still can give you a HUGE HUG from over where I’m sitting. ---

Hell, bark can taste good, too. 😃 And you can be taught to bite… ---

Ya know…all these men _say_ they have black hair and green eyes, but is my mailbox filled with any proof of this? And I notice **gobear** is dodging the question of which of us is Rock and which is Doris. Fortunately **Esprix** has volunteered for the role of sidekick but the vital question of the day as yet remains unanswered. ---

**Otto** , all my bets say that you get to be the one flitting about singing _Que Sera Sera_ and getting caught up in madcap capers. 😃 ---

i’d say the tension (of the bad kind) has completely disappeared from this thread. 🙂 ---

Can a straight, happily married woman check in to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed all the shameless flirting on in this thread (seeing as how I’m a shameless flirt myself). You guys are awesome! And I’m jealous! I want to see what everybody looks like too!!! ☹ ---
