BRIGHT, BRIGHT RED. We’re talking, full body blush here. I’ll let AudreyK explain about the snake thing.

You know, the one that forces him to flirt with every woman on the board? 🙂 Okay. I’ll tell you about Mr. Snake. It’s not a WHO, it’s a WHAT, although, ya know, most men do treat this anatomical feature as though it was capable of independent thought. Who knows; it very well could be. You know what I mean? ---

My defense is that 1) it was an accident, 2) it was in the sixth grade, a full ten years ago!, and 3) he deserved it! I have since matured into sensible young woman and would NEVER sink to such depths. Unless he deserved it. ---

This is completely absurd! The defendant is an upstanding citizen, really, a model for today’s youth. It is offensive to eve SUGGEST she would stoop to such a low attack! The defense would like to show, Your Honor, irrefutable [proof](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33020) that Myrr21 and the defendant have since made amends and have in fact begun flirting all over the board. Without a doubt, the prosecution’s claims are baseless, and no doubt the result of being mercilessly ganged up upon by his jilted former flirtees. The defense moves that this case be dismissed!! ---

I think Scotti is asleep. Either that, or she passed out after you explained “Mr. Snake” to her. So, should **we** start flirting again? I might be willing to take the chance, if you PROMISE to be gentle with “Mr. Snake”: “Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.” –Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene iv ---
