People invariably assume that I’m female. So I guess it’s a lucky thing that I am. ---

I was female in a thread not long ago. I forget which thread and who thought that. It was a very confusing day for me ya know. ---

I am a small piece of plastic, found in a gumball machine. Besides, ninjas have no gender. 😃 I don’t think anyone’s ever mistaken me for my opposite gender – not on here, at least. 🙂 And certainly never in person. ---

Only two that i have said something about in a post and looked stupid they were **EddyTeddyFreddy** in the “Happy Haiku Game” or the “Predict the next poster” thread and **Sanguine Spider** in “Make the previous poster a superhero” thread. Sorry guys (or more to the point ladies) ---

I always assume that I’m talking to an attractive woman. At least until I find out different, unless it’s otherwise apparent. I got busted for this awhile back when I said something about **Pantellerite** being female. \ Hey, that’s okay, if I’m wrong then no harm done. Guess I still got them old dog instincts. 😉 Who me? Sitting in my boxers, scratching my beard, smoking a stogie and sippin tequila. What’dya think? and **Hell no** , I’m not your grandma either.
