Ready for the next beating, if you two are.
Battles are won in nuance.
Dammit, I have to go in a few minutes. Hurry, Bricker! I want to play at least one round!
In one post we find out
A.) Flysyde is a pessimist
B.) Flypsyde is into S & M
C.) Flypsyde is ready to PLAY ball
or
D.) All of the above.
I’m game.
Would it have been any difference if I had come in wearing a green and gray striped shirt a la Steve and carrying a baby, SR?
Hey, I’m not the one with the fixation on Steve. Frankly, he scares me too. But good try at reducing me to estrogen.
hmmm…methinks a game is afoot!
Now play nice, you two 
Just for the record, I’d like to point out that the above statements are not completely true…
I am NOT a pessimist.
You know, I keep getting a weird image from this quote; the NYC meeting. “Hi, psy, I’m Eve, this is Ike, that’s manny, and the pinkish-yellow puddle dripping off the chair over there is SwimmingRiddles.”

Woohoo! I was going to post something sarcastic to get y’all to start up again, but this works too. So where the hell is Bricker??
No, no, no, Fly. I only turn into estrogen when I spy a full grown man playing with a kid. And if anyone brings a child to a dopers meeting on a Saturday night, that pretty much ruins the mystic of paternalism that is at the root of my estrogen-glob affliction. It’s not that they HAVE a kid, it’s that they relate well to that kid.

In other news: BRICKER, WHERE ARE YOU?
Well, it looks like Rick is a no-show. Feh.
Yeah, bummer. Maybe after lunch?
After lunch is fine, but I gotta scamper out of here at 3:00 EST to get to the pre-school I volunteer at. (and no, it’s NOT to meet men…)

Um, let’s try that again.

I need to go eat. I’m getting hypoglycemic.
Sorry, folks. I have meetings all day today.
I am fortunate that my job gives me enough flexibility to be a steady contributor here, and do these puzzles… but sometimes duty calls, and light of the fact that they sign my paycheck… I’m kinda obligated.

Hee, hee.

Well, blessed is just about everyone with a vested interest in the status quo, as far as I can tell.
