Yes, **Scotticher** and **Lord Jim** and I met once face to face, and had a nice conversation and dinner. Both are very nice, gracious people, though I must say that I will never EVER get between **Scotti** and shrimp. Fortunately, I don’t like shrimp. Anyway, I’d love to have her as a neighbor, I bet that we could just sit and talk for hours on end. She’s a warm, thoughtful, creative person, and I’m glad to call her a friend. ---

Yeah, and since we have similar sense of humors, we’d snicker and chortle a lot, too. Sounds like a marvelous idea to me…please let me know when the house next door comes vacant, okay? ::huggles:: Cheri [sub]notice I am not dignifying that shrimp comment by answering it? but…I wouldn’t get between me and my prime rib, either. Just saying…😃 [/sub] ---

Cmon! If they have chocolate-covered ants, they gotta have chocolate-covered shrimp. Mmmmm! Who’s with me? ---

Look, if you’re a chocoholic, I’d think you’d jump at the chance of marrying your favorite foods together… 🙂 ---

But see…Lynn doesn’t LIKE shrimp. She LOVES chocolate. So you can see how coating something you DON’T like with something you LOVE would make you want to gag? To say nothing of the fact that…chocolate covered shrimp is just…wrong. WRONG I tell’s ya’!!! ---

Just to add to it all, I’m one of the heartless speculators currently driving up the price of cocoa and profiting spectacularly. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dont-mess-with-lynn-bodoni-in-the-near-future/128201.md?page=1)
