Well, so do I. Hmmm. An enforced vacation, maybe?

Man, you’re making this difficult. Medical leave, then. We’ll have to hire those goons to pretend to beat you up. Then we have to hire a doctor…

never mind, this is getting too complicated.

May I humbly suggest bribery? I’ve been known to respond to such in the past. Doesn’t have to be cash… 😉 😃

Oh! Well that’s easy. I tend not to think of these things.

What would you trade for not posting for, oh, the next week. I can beat you in a week.

Actually, here at Two Hot Korean Chicks’ Orientation Testing and Pillow Fighting Academy, we offer orintation testing services to both sexes, though the pillow fighting is strictly for ladies in lingerie.

**Iceland\_Blue** : Are you interested in signing up for our orientation testing services? Testing is conducted by a pair of attractive Korean lesbians.

Last I checked, I was a [guy.](http://photos.yahoo.com/quietguy042) And I check pretty frequent. Note that this has also been confirmed by my horde of fans (well, two, but still–so long as you’ve got enough people to hold up each end of a big, long banner with your name on it, it’s a horde).

However, I am honored to know that you would switch-hit, at least in a flirtatious manner, in a relatively anonymous online message board, with me. If I were female.

Boy, I really suck at this flirting business.

**Ethilrist** ,  
Which one are you in the pics??? Can you link directly to one of them? Because looking at the very first one, what I seem to see is a girl. And that’s why I got confused, I’m sure. Also, I can’t find your posts in the other thread.

Ok, I found it. Under “MinnDopefest”, the first picture you see is[this](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quietguy042/detail?.dir=468f&.dnm=b4ea.jpg&.src=ph) one.

You have to look [.

Or [[http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quietguy042/detail?.dir=8616&.dnm=c6fd.jpg&.src=ph](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quietguy042/detail?.dir=8616&.dnm=c6fd.jpg&.src=ph)]here]([http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quietguy042/detail?.dir=8616&.dnm=7596.jpg&.src=phhere](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/quietguy042/detail?.dir=8616&.dnm=7596.jpg&.src=phhere)[/url).

I love the second one. So regal.
