Thank you Crunchy, I would be delighted to bite your ass but only after you assure you me that you have washed it in the recent past. I probably should have told you in the previous post I was born and raised in California, but had my medication adjusted, saw the error of my ways and moved to St Louis last May. Apparetly I can control the weather, as it’s been the coldest winter here for a long time. Sorry, that must have been me, as everything IS my fault 😛 I refuse to be a Rams fan, I didn’t like em in LA, I’m not gonna like em now. A girl needs some standards. The Blues are okay, though. I used to tend bar for the Government in CA, but don’t want to babysit a bunch of drunks everynight, so I am preparing to start a new job. Smile at the checker at the grocery store and maybe she’ll offer to bite your ass 🙂 Oh, and by the way? Would you by chance like a dog, CF? ? ---

Hi Crunchy! 32, married, son born August 1, 2000. I work as a programmer/analyst at a major university in the mountains of Virginia. You know, the one with a gobbler as a mascot and an excellent quarterback moving on to greener pastures? I read SDMB while crunching numbers. I started with alt.fan.cecil-adams, moved on to the [straightdope.com](http://straightdope.com) site, and then lurked on SDMB. And now, I’m posting. When will it ever end? Like workin’ on cars, especially my 68 Deville convertible, which I intend to turn into a hopper someday. Used to play much music, bass and guitar, both rock and jazz. My biggest gig was for the recently departed Bill and Al show. Actually got my picture made with Bill. No music since son. Music was great, but prefer son (and wife). I can’t figure out if I’m a liberal redneck or a conservative Unitarian. Is there a Kinsey scale for this kind of thing? /dev/null ---

I have just quit my job as a public servant to take up a new career as a firefighter.\*\* And in Australia, firefighting isn’t considered a public service?

Damn mercenaries! > [@](#): > > **I spend way too much time reading assorted science fiction/fantasy, or surfing the web while I should be working.

You haven’t lived till you know the joy of writing a check for a pizza delivery when you KNOW there’s not enough money in the account for it, but just hoping the check doesn’t get to your bank till pay day! That’s excitement, lad! That’s a living-on-the-edge adreneline rush, mate, and don’t you forget it! _ **Clucky** _ [sub]Clucky?[/sub] > [@](#): > > **Okay, it’s time to face the music (cue Peace Frog, by the Doors).

I couldn’t stand the Rams whie we had What’s his nuts for a QB. But when we signed Trent Green and Marshall Faulk, my interest shot through the roof _before_ the season started when we won the Superbowl. I’ve been a Cardinals baseabll fan since I was a fetus though. > [@](#): > > **The sig is from Caddyshack.** Yes, I know. I was playing Spyro 2 on my Playstation over the summer and during one of the mini-games, I retrieved some livestock for one of the characters who then tossed me an egg (what I was searching for in the game) and said, “Here’s a little something, you know, for the effort.” And I laughed my balls off. My GF had no idea what I thought was so funny. _ **Tequila Mockingbird** _ are you back? > [@](#): > > **Thank you Crunchy, I would be delighted to bite your ass but only after you assure you me that you have washed it in the recent past.** Who said anything about my ass? 😉 > [@](#): > > **I probably should have told you in the previous post I was born and raised in California** Why, do you think I care? > [@](#): > > **Apparetly I can control the weather, as it’s been the coldest winter here for a long time.

Would you by chance like a dog, CF? ? \*\* Actually I would love to have a dog, unfortunately I live alone and the poor animal wouldn’t have anyone around most of the day and he’d also be cooped up inside my apartment. So I’m not getting a dog until I have a house with a backyard he can run around in. Sorry. > [@](#): > > **Let me have it big guy…I obviously need a spanking.** Hehehe… Do you not realize you’re talking to one of the board’s leading sluts?

That’s cool. > [@](#): > > \*\*I can’t figure out if I’m a liberal redneck or a conservative Unitarian.

Puh-lease. The Tiburon (car) is made by Hyundi. (sp?) Nothing that company makes is sporty. I’m named Tiburon because I like sharks. (Tiburon means ‘shark’ in Spanish.) \*\* Gimme a break, I was working with what I had. Tiburon is the closest to sporty that Hyundai gets. And I know what the word “tiburon” means. Do you speak Spanish? Does the phrase “_Sientate en mi cara y meneate_” do anything for ya? That’s my favorite Spanish phrase. 😃 > [@](#): > > **I won’t be too hard on you thinking I was male, though** Well since you’re not male, then you _couldn’t_ be hard on — oh, that’s not what you meant, is it?
