[Here ya go, Iceland.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=260533) Don’t want you to be all skeevy about, you know, asking a guy for their phone number, so you can, you know, be friends without coming across as being all, like, gay and like.

In a similar vein, I would also like to request that only 5’11’’-6’5’’ heterosexual non-religious male polyglots, ages 23-33 flirt with me from here on out. I’m sorry to be so picky, and I do hope I don’t offend anyone, but since I am just so attractive I really must limit my admirers somehow. It is just so difficult being as universally attractive as I, you see. \<flips hair back\>  
I must sound snooty to some of you, you innocents that do not understand what a _challenge_ life can be when one must constantly be kicking off some pathetic soul that has clung to one’s perfectly formed leg, desperately hoping for a shred of attention.  
Your attention is appreciated in this matter.

Further, I will need to see three seperate Kinsey reports from 3 independent doctors verifying your heterosexual tendencies, should your genetic profile prove your femininity.

Wow, that’s the exact same reaction I get in bars! :eek:

You know, **Iceland** , why don’t you do what our very own \*\*tomndebb \*\* suggested and put your sex in your location?

Like:

Location: North/None  
:smack:  
Sorry, I meant  
Location: North/male

See? The onus is on you to tell people you’re a male, not for us to remember, so try it out.

I totally know what you mean.  
Its gets so bothersome when the female fans start tossing panties at me.

I sniffed once…

😃

Oh, and Doper females who want to flirt with me, must be \*this \* (holds arms apart) pretty.

Now, I can’t believe that! Judging by the posts of yours I’ve run across, you seem like a very cool and witty person. Methinks you don’t strike out very often, unless you choose to.

(Not a flirt. NO WAY was that a flirt. NOT from me, no way) 😉

Well, I was considering flirting with you, then you said you had VD.

I just realized something: **Iceland Blue** sounds like the name of one of those awful ‘malternative’ beverages.

\<fade in\>  
A spare, rectangular minimalist swimming pool. Everything is tinted a cold blue.

An attractive Nordic woman (very blond, slim, darting icy blue eyes) in a sparkling sapphire-blue swimsuit (and stiletto heels, of course) lays down on a modernist lounge chair.

Zoom-in: a perfectly-manicured hand, with a huge sapphire ring reaches over to a small tray table, and picks up…

an \<percussion\> ice-cold, refreshing _ICELAND BLUE_. Sounds of waves crashing and a faint image of the ocean in background.

Camera pulls back. We see her putting the bottle back down as a well-muscled Swede walks slowly towards her.  
\<fade out\>

Too late? _Too late?!_

What exactly do you think is going to happen to you in a “flirt thread” in **MPSIMS**?

Never mind . . . it was a rhetorical question.

This thread has gone from the ridiculous to the sublime.

:rolleyes:
