You had to just post that last time and ruin my parting shot, didn’t you? Didn’t you?! AAAAAAGH! I shall have my revenge!

Wow, it’s like the party’s wound up and everybody’s gone home, but there’s still two hangers-on sitting on the couch pretending to argue, while in actuality each of them is waiting for the other to tip their hand about whether this is just an argument or they’re really flirting desperately but not very effectively with one another and would happily dash back to the guest room to grapple sweatily if they’d only get a clear signal from the other one.

Don’t mind me, just gettin’ my coat. Carry on.

Carry on? What do you think we’ve been doing all this time?  
We really just wanted to make this thing run over 500 posts.

1. Five hundred more!

2. You mean we weren’t flirting? _Damn_. ☹

3. Is it proper to start a sentence with _and_?

4. This new episode sounds horrid. Like “Spock’s Brain” redux or something.

1. Okay…but there is a “Crossing” Thread now.

2. Just because I didn’t mention it doesn’t mean we weren’t. Ya follow that?

3. Proper, Schmoper. It’s done all the time.

4. Give it a chance! Let’s just wait and see…

NCB: your location should say: wearing a smirk.
