My word, sending pictures like that where I might see them at work and get in trouble!

All these raven-haired emerald-eyed beauties popping up in my box…it makes me want to have legal gay sex in Texas!

Consider yourself edified.

We need a _Stunning Sodomites of the Straight Dope_ web page, pronto…

Now _that’s_ an idea.

In fact… it’s an idea I’m willing to put together and host on my domain at [wonderwoman-online.com](http://wonderwoman-online.com)

Here’s how I want to do it:

Send me your picture and what city and state you are in.

I’ll put up the picture and location.

Is there other data you’d want to have up? First names?

A subtle top, bottom, or versatile symbol? 😃

Ideas? Any real desire for this to happen?

I do want the bisexuals and the lesbians to be represented on this page if I do have people who want to go forward with it.

Okay, more thoughts:

A list of:

Favourite foods  
Music  
Movies  
Television shows

A paragraph written by the submitter about whatever they feel represents them.

Maybe even _shudder_ a birthdate?

With a “Best Creative Writing” award to go with it, to be decided by visitor polls? 🙂

I’m all for it, though “stunning” would hold the alternate definition in reference to my photo: “n. shocking, as in horrifying.”

Okay, because it has to be said:

I hope it’s okay that I’m watching, guys. 😃

I’m terribly, terribly disappointed in the SDMB Gay Men’s Flirt Choir that the quoted portion above wasn’t dragged out to snicker over before this…

Just don’t get anything on the little window. You know how hard it is to clean plexiglass?

Oh, and remember to tip the doorman on the way back out… 🙂

Count me in, **Mockingbird**. I’ll have to work on a decent intro for you to post.
