As for the rest of you… What’s with all the swashbuckling? :rolleyes: I leave for an hour and suddenly I’m in the Pirates of Penzance thread. :smack: ---

Women dig pirates, that’s all there is to it. But I’m always open to other options. 😉 ---

Pirates are hot. Swashbuckling is hot. **ArrMatey**! started it, though. ---

_swoon_ Kilts rank higher than pirates, in my opinion. ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > _swoon_ Kilts rank higher than pirates, in my opinion. Eh. You can have him. Kilts don’t do much for me. On reflection, \*\*Quicksilver \*\* is hot and the kilt comes off, anyway. ---

Where do you go? Do you go to the one kinda near Woodbury??? That would be a GREAT Dopefest! ---

You know what, now that I think about it, I always wanted to flirt with **Ethilrist**. I love his posts, and think he’s hilarious. Except I only found out this week, in the photo thread I think, that “he” is a “she”! :eek: But, if you can’t flirt with your own sex against your sexual orientation on the SDMB, where else can you do it, right? So, **Ethilrist** …how YOU doin’? 😃 ---

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. “Yay for **raz**.” That’s all, I’m a horrible flirt. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > ?! Where do you go? Do you go to the one kinda near Woodbury??? > > That would be a GREAT Dopefest! I go to the Sterling Forest/Tuxedo one. I don’t _think_ it’s anywhere near Woodbury, but I could be wrong, since I’m coming from the south. But you’re right–definitely Dopefest possiblities. Drinking, dangerous sports, and bodices. Man, I _love_ wearing my bodice. > [@QuickSilver](#): > > AH! A ‘kin see it nooo. Shooo a bit o’ leg and yer all wantin’ to get up a block’s kilt! Ay, I see how y’arrrre! _gigglesnortgiggle_ That’s at the same time vaguely disturbing and extremely hot. ---

I’ll have to drink a lot more before I get the courage to do any flirting. Is there a nice quiet table where I can wink at people as they pass by, and then pretend I have something in my eye when they catch me? ---

> [@Draelin](#): > > I think it’s over in the corner–I left my purse there, watch it for me? 🙂 OK. It’ll be safe with me, until such time as I’m brave enough to go after **Kythereia** or **FinnAgain** or… oh, dear, I fear I’ve said too much already. _looks suspiciously into wine glass_ ---
