Nah, my copy of the _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_ DVD is currently in Sweden, and I’d know I’ll incur the wrath of the Python fans if I messed a less-obvious question up.

Thanks for asking, though!

Question:

What is that quality about Anniz which most attracts you to her?

If there is more than one, please list separately.

I really don’t have a question, per se, but I’m just feeling kinda low right now. I thought that the best way to cheer me up would be to have a multiple fellating man confirm my existence by quoting me.

Thanks for reading!

Montfort,

[sub](Here’s one you should enjoy–don’t say I never did anything for ya)[/sub]

What would Satan’s sig have been if YOU had won?

Oh, and Iampunha? The man has THIS in his sig:

You are a cruel, cruel, man to ask him about an (ahem) “unladen swallow”! :eek:

Where **are** your lucky pair of socks, you mean?

I don’t know. Try looking behind the washing machine for one. The cat probably has the other.

Thanks for asking!

Yes, **Anniz** , I would love to join you and wash your hair. Then, you’ll be able to post about how certain parts of my unfortunate sig are untrue. 😉

(Of course, it’s all untrue, but she’ll only have first-hand knowledge of one particular aspect of it.)

Thanks for asking!

Since it’s sports that got you into this trouble, I’ll use sports to help get ya out. Though this question probably belongs in IMHO:

Who is more evil: Jack Arute or Jim Gray? And why?

I’m too sexy for New York.

In the following sentence, which noun is the subject of the verb:  
“Where is my lucky pair of socks?”  
Is it the singular “pair” or the plural “socks”?  
🙂

Jim Gray, definitely. For his tirade against Pete Rose a year or so ago.

Jim Rome’s a close second, however.

Thanks for asking!

Yeah, shaddup. I’m usually the grammar police, but someone in the office dared speak to me while I was padding my – err, replying to your question.

Anyway, did you look behind the washing machine? Interrogate the cat?

Thanks for asking!

As long as it’s a question for me, it’s not a hijack.

But, yes, I plan to be at the DC Lunch Bunch meeting on Friday at noon. Of course, circumstances may dictate a change in my plans.

Thanks for asking!

Okay, dem’s fightin’ words. Please ask the members of these teams if the Eagles are a good team or not:

Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Arizona, and Chicago.

You may ignore the answers given by Green Bay, New Jersey Giants, and Washington.
