Do I really want to know what you mean by that? Are we going to have another "Should I let my girlfriend use a strap-on . . . " thread?

Don’t worry, punny, it’s just a reference to exactly what you’re referring to.

Thanks for asking!

What? Your ass? :eek: (I see iampunha beat me to it. Oh well.)

Montfort, expect a picture of me on the internet before the new year. Miss Tique shall be no more.

What’s the difference between a duck? Kind of an inside joke, although I’ve tossed it into at least two other threads. Not very recently though.

Honestly, if I got the chance to compose Satan’s sig, I wouldn’t have any idea what to put. Oh well. 🙂

Hmm . . . Anniz and Monty, sitting in a . . . wait, this is a family show.

So how many posts is that, Montfort?

And, in another post, tell me this: what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What makes you feel less of a man, the fact that you lost this bet and have to post using a sig emphasizing your tiny genitalia, or the fact that you started this thread in attempt to weasel out of it as soon as possible? 😉

Montfort, if you were asked to characterize Chief Scott, Falcon and Satan as cartoon charaters, who would each be?

Hey, dave, sorry about the Ravens today. ☹

Anniz. Gentlemen never tell. Fate. Sometime after 18 November. Stockholm, Sweden. Very slowly.

😃

Thanks for asking!

You forget that he gets to use a post to answer this . . .

Neither, actually. The sudden chill here in the DC area has caused a bit of … shrinkage.

I can’t wait until **Anniz** checks this thread in the morning.

And, nah, I’m not weaseling. I’m having fun. 🙂

Thanks for asking!

Monty- you’re lucky. You get 100 posts, and you’re done. I gotta sport my sig from mouthbreather for two weeks. Which means his sig will drop on my Q-day.

Hmm, good question. I’m not a big cartoon fan, except for _The Simpsons_, of course.

But, ChiefScott is Shaggy, Falcon is Leela from _Futurama_, and Satan is Nelson from _The Simpsons_.
