Our Pasta who art aloft, Al Dente be thy name. Thy kitchen come, thy will be done, at lunch as it is at dinner. Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our overcooking, as we forgive overeating. And lead us not into indigestion, but deliver us dessert. For thine is the pesto, and the marinara, and the Alfredo forever, noodle without end. In the name of the Pasta, the Sauce, and the Grated Cheese, Ramen. ---

He sounds like a catch, though! love yams!! ---

The problem isn’t desperation. I get asked out once or twice a week by men of all colors, shapes and sizes. The problem is that it is never the RIGHT men. Sure, this guy is gorgeous but it is like trying to have a conversation with Jon Arbuckle. The next guy is sweet and kind but couldn’t make a decision if his life depended on it. The third guy is smart, sweet and funny but looks like a young of a gold prospector. I got proposed to by some guy a couple of weeks ago, which would have been great if he had known my name first and hadn’t been 75 years old. Is it too much to ask that a guy possess the qualities I asked for and not be insane, diseased or on parole? > [@](#): > > Originally Posted by **Zebra** > What if I have all of someone else’s teeth? Is that OK? Do you have all of someone else’s teeth instead of or in addition to your own? That makes a difference, you know. ---

Not trying to start a religious debate here, but I need to run a quick poll of the pastafarians among us and which sects you subscribe to. Alfredo? Tomato sauce? Something else? I personally belong to the minimalist Order of Olive Oil. ---

Al Dente 25:17, “And, yay, it is foretold that a man shall come out of the northeast. And that he shall bear with him eggs, and durham wheat flour, and all manner of tools and implements for the shaping thereof. And he shall seek others of like mind, particularly females 30-45.” ---

I sent two boats and a helicopter, what did you expect? Your getting awfully picky asking for them to be sane, healthy, and law abiding. Next you will tell me you don’t want any married men. 😉 I will mention you to the FSM in my evening prayers. ---

Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster, While reading this thread of devotions is indeed eye-opening (there are women who don’t mind a bit of chubbiness on a guy?), could you please direct some of these interested and open women to my northern city? 'Cause they all seem to be in other countries, or at least thousands of kilometres away. I even bought new shoes on the weekend. Ramen, **Sunspace** ---

[QUOTE=pbbth] Is it too much to ask that a guy possess the qualities I asked for and not be insane, diseased or on parole? [/QUOTE] Well, I’m not diseased in any way that I know of. Yeah… That’s about it… Plus there’s the whole married/thousands of miles away/different country thing. \*Note, this is all tongue in cheek of course, I love my wife very much and given my qualities/legal status/overuse of the and/or slash she must love me very much to put up with me. ---
