This may not be the place for it, but Alpha, will you marry me?

After being prompted by curiousity to read the various Michelle threads, then going back and reading some of her posts, I have to ask. Why is she still single? I tracked down her posted pix and is that really her? If so, I ask again, why is she still single because she looks as sweet as a button? Even my current lady is curious over this because Ann (my honey) agrees that she certainly doesn’t look her age. Unusual bad luck? Bad breath? Using someone elses picture {like that has never happened before}, or is that a real old picture {10 years or so when she was something like 21}? Ax murderer? I once was lead on by this great pix of a lady I found on the web and had a great e-mail relationship and was getting ready to meet her when I found out that she was a converted he … surgically made girl. {Damn! He/she looked good but I just couldn’t go there … you know.} I don’t think Michelle is that, but she just looks too good to be alone.

I thought Michelle was sooo cute.

But that’s not the point, is it?

Or is it?

Holy Cow! I could not miss all of the Michele posts. I do have a question, though.  
Who is Michele? Is there a photograph somewhere and why all of the fuss?

What? Me worry?’

Yeah, you’re right Chief, I don’t get a lot of action. That’s probably because my employer doesn’t have annual Tailhook Conventions.

Back off, man. I’m a scientist.
