Irishman, you’re back!! Oh, goody! I missed you, and was beginning to wonder what I did. You can call me honey, and I like feathers, depending on what you do with it. 😉  
So what if it’s corny? Sometimes I _like_ corny.  
Perhaps we should talk about your commitment issues next. 😉

\<aside to Irishman, are you going to the doper get-together in Houston? If so, I’ll see you there!\>

Hey, everybody! I can play “When the Saints Come Marching In” with underarm fart noises!

Where’s the barkeep? What do you mean you don’t have Rhinegold in the can?

Hi, Ike! I have no idea where the barkeep went off to. I’m not a barkeep, but I’ll give it my best ‘shot’! 'K?

So, where’d everyone go again? 😕

I’m back. Sorry purplebear, keep stumbling in and out of the room. I’m not drunk, I’m dazzled by all the beauty. Eeny, meeny, miney, mo! Oh hell, I can’t pick, I’ll just wait for someone to pounce.

(NOT YOU SEALEMON! I mean women, dammit!)

Okay, last chance to make fun of me before this thread dies a miserable death!

I might even check it in less than a week. 😉

## Ahhhhhh, a nice slow song, now if I can only get one of these nice looking females to dance with me, I’ll be very happy. I have always liked slow dancing because I like to know whom I’m dancing with, and I like the closeness of it. So who will be my first victim to dance with?(I have never stepped on any toes).

Hand me that wrench. No, the one that looks like a hammer.

Dude, you are cute and all, but I have never…AND I MEAN NEVER, been that drunk!

I mean, I’m not gay, or anything, but if I ever have to spend time in the Huntville Pen, I hope to have you for a cellmate, big boy!

Well, I hear some slow music playing, are you up for a little dancing? I like to hold my partner close and feel the heat radiating from her skin. And maybe, just maybe, nibble a little on her earlobe.

Or we could go get a pizza.

Slow dancing is a great idea, better ixnay on the earlobe though. :o 😉

I also like pizza, we can get that after we dance a dance or two, or 3 or 4 or…  
(did I mention I love to dance?)

Wellll **ultress** , what is it you would like to discuss…You want to know about me :)? You want to know if I am a good dancer?  
You want to know the weather?  
I can try and discuss anything you would like to.

Dancing’s fun - when I’m not stepping on toes. I did take lessons, but it’s been a few years.

So do you foxtrot, waltz, tango, or just slow dance?

(Doing my best to keep this thread alive, dammit!)

Hi, Irishman! I’m a bit rusty on the foxtrot, waltz and tango, but I’m game. And I am always up for a slow dance… 😉

I, too, would like to keep this thread alive, Irishman. After all, if you can’t flirt, what the heck’s the point??? 😉

\<looking forward to seeing you in May\>
