Purplebear, I’m not gone yet. Just didn’t want to interrupt - you looked so happy over there. And to answer your question, a bare purplebear would be a start. 😉

Regarding backrubs, I used to give pretty good ones. But it’s been so long since I’ve had someone to practice on, I think I’ve forgotten how.

As she crosses the room, nobody notices the short Rubenesque brunette standing behind her, waving her arms madly and stomping her feet, shouting “Hey! You’re supposed to be paying attention to me!”

::Watching blond Amazon walk past completely oblivious to his existence.::

Oooh Shadowfox, I’ve always been partial to brunettes. Wanna pull up a seat? Whatcha havin’? Oh bartender!

Uh, hi Mega, what’s that you’ve got there? And why are you pointing it at me? Say, are those shamrocks on your socks? I like shamrocks - they fit my motif. 😉 Can I get you something? A soda? A cocktail? A deep, mind-blowing kiss?

\<linking an arm in each of Roland’s and Irishman’s arms, purplebear wanders off to find a quiet corner to flirt,uh, chat with both of these fine handsome men\>

Let’s get acquainted better, now shall we? Here’s a beer for each of you, and a glass of white zinfandel for me. Now, shall we talk about whatever comes up?? 😉

That’s okay, I’ll bring my own Coke. (Pass on the beer, thank you for offerring.) Now let me gaze into those lovely, erm, the lights are dim, I can’t seem to tell what color those eyes are.

Okay, so is this where I insert the double-entendre on “whatever comes up”?

Thank you, Irishman. Yes, _pouff_ you have a coke in your hand now. And, for the record, my eyes are baby blue. _giggle_ sure, I love double-entendres!
