Eve, I am not gay or married, and I only live HALF way across the USA! It’s a mere full day’s drive (memories of bleary-eyed driving), but it’s not like I’m in Idaho or something (not that there’s anything wrong with that!). Hoping to be a bit of a pash, Bucky ---

Oh yeah? well, here’s what I have to offer: [sound of crickets chirping in background] Ok, so I don’t have anything at all to offer. I’m rude, unintelligent, short, fat, too opinionated, and probably a woman-beater, too, from the look of me. it’s a good thing nobody had a crush on me. 🙂 * * * ## Joe Cool There are no dangerous weapons.

Well, Bucky [she says, settling back onto her fainting couch and lowering a strap of her peignoir], next time you’re in the Big Apple . . . By the way, I have a funny tale about your neck o’ the woods [minor highjack]. I was in Quebec a couple of years ago and got talking to a shopgirl. “Aren’t you tired of the cold winters up here?” I asked her. “Yes,” she said, “I’m saving up to move down South, where it’s warmer.” I asked her where and she said—with a perfect deadpan—“Minneapolis.” [end of highjack—please return to shameless flirting] ---

Well, I’ll just say, all you self absorbed people don’t know what your missing. I am, a diamond in the Ruff. (Hmmm, I just noticed that the typo has a interesting freudian quality to it.) Now, while I sit in my ivory tower, not affected by you shallow attention hungry posters, I’ll be carefully developing a lurid screenplay of events featuring psycat and A girl. I don’t need your attention :). ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by A girl: > **We girls should start a “period” thread… hee hee!** You’re too late: [url=http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/007346.html]We’ve already got one! Also, IIRC, the infamous “guy thread” was started in response to a “girl thread” dealing with this topic. And **Shayna** , subject of many SD crushes, had her own personal take on the subject. As a relative newbie, **A Girl** , you may not realize that there is precious little relating to body parts or bodily functions that hasn’t been dissected and discussed in excruciating detail on this MB. In fact, this is one route to notoriety, er, popularity – intimate details are memorable and the more intimate and the more detailed the better – although only the truly desperate would stoop so low. p.s. I have a mole on my left buttock. ---
