Pick me! Pick me! I’m 19, I live on my own, and I’m low maintainance. All I ask for is a toaster. (I don’t have one, you know…I miss my morning toast.) I promise I’ll visit on the weekends, and I always call on holidays. Besides, my real life mother is bout ready to disown me anyways… And I would never flirt with my father. ---

Any, or indeed all, of the Moderators are sufficiently infantile. But I could be wrong. The drool _may be_ deceptive. It _could_ be senility. ---

Hey, Paddy… did we ever consider the possibility of twins, triplets even?? I don’t know if I can handle triplets… but twins could be cool. Smae-sex, or one of each?? ---

You know, twins sound like fun. They’ll develop language more quickly, we won’t have to worry about playgroups, and studies have demonstrated that they cope more easily with normal difficulties. I’m leaning toward Pammipoo and Ad\_Noctum, though Bad News Baboon makes a VERY compelling case. One girl and one boy just seems like so much fun, though. I mean, 'cuz girls and boys are both fun:) ---

I could definitely deal with Ad Noctum as a twin brother…he’d be muy cool. He’d be the cute brother that all my friends would be jealous of, and they’d all love staying over at my house because they could sneak peeks at him while he’s sleeping. And he’d give awesome advice…when my boyfriends act like jerks, he’d go kick their ass for me…ooh, now I’m all excited…PICK US! PICK US!! ---

Well, I’m too old to offer myself up as a virtual child, but I’m a wonderful babysitter. All my charges are still alive and well. Let me know if you ever need my services. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bad News Baboon \* > _sigh_ > any others need a good virtual kid to adopt? Awww:( I’d love to adopt you, BNB, but A) you’re bad news, and B) Palmyra and I just don’t have the time for three kids. Maybe when the other two are a little older? Adam, go clean your room. Pammipoo, stop picking your nose and sticking it on the IMHO walls! ---

Ack! We already have two runny-nosed kids, one of whom was seen offering blow jobs for soup . . . BNB is top on my list next time we adopt (unless someone else takes her). Elenfair, I hope you can find another couple to settle down with:) ---

Another loving doper couple needs to come and adopt Bad News Baboon and Elenfair. Those two’re breakin’ my heart over here. Dave, that whoosh you heard was that joke flying well over my head.
