Well, we don’t know what happened to her. It’s possible she drooled all over her computer and shorted it out! 😃 On the other hand, it’s possible she died laughing. ☹ Now, as to what effect the word “penis” might have had on her, well, you’re guess is as good as mine. 😛 BTW–I **cannot believe** that the three of us managed to hijack a **FLIRTING THREAD**. :eek: Oh, well, maybe tomorrow, Myrr21 and Frannie and OESGal and the others will show up, and we can start flirting again. Either that, or we’ll have to start a new thread: “For those of you who threaded my hijack” ---

Hey ChrisP. Good morning. I’m just keeping up on my strumpet skills and where better to show up than on a flagrant flirting thread? Besides, you and DRY are soooo good at it. {{{smooch}}} struuter ---

Audrey most certainly did not scare me off; I have this odd biological need to sleep at least 4 hours a night. ::sigh:: It takes a good bit more than than anyything of that nature to scare me off–she’s already killed me once, and knocked me out once or twice more. And that still hasn’t scared me off 🙂 DRY–you better watch it or we’ll strip you of your Shakespeare. Now then Audrey, where were we? 😉 ---

ChrisP, You must have a big book of nice things to say in any occaision. Either that or you’ve got a gift. Maybe you should write that book. ---

That book would be sold in the children’s section of a bookstore. Not necessarily read by children, but written by one. My writing skills are little to none, but I have no problem writing as if I was speaking to you, I just can’t use my hands to gesture… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Frannie \* > \*\*Oh, one more thing, and then I’ll get outta your hair: Baseball isn’t baseball without the DH. \*\* Baseball was baseball without the DH until (I think) 1979. I _might_ (read: probably am) be wrong about this date, but in any case it survived a good long time with no DH. I have heard it compared to having someone shoot free thorws for Shaq. Anyone care to comment otherwise? ---

Nope, I’m with you on this one. Why the heck should one player not have to hit, and one not have to field? That’s just silly. If the pitcher can’t hit, he don’t belong on the field. While I’m fencing, should I be able to have another person do all the parrying for me? It’s part of the sport, so you learn to do it… ---

Yeah, just the same way that football isn’t football with a quarterback :rolleyes: What are you talking about? Are you insane? The DH is the silliest thing ever, and it’s only been a position for a small period of time in half of MLB. And people wonder why the NL loses 3 years out of 4…geez. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Frannie \* > \*\*[sub]Baseball isn’t baseball without the DH.[/sub] > > Period \*\* It managed to be baseball for over a century without the DH. I prefer it without, which is why I prefer the National League. I think it’s silly that you should have someone who doesn’t have to/get to bat, and someone who doesn’t have to/get to field.
