Francesca's 1000th Post Photo Shoot

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Our dear Francesca’s about to hit 1000 posts!

I’m going to have her stomp about in a tasteful and very sparkly gown so I can capture the many entertaining yet complex sides of our terribly clever and articulate chum from the UK. Now is the time to tell her how much we all adore her and look forward to any small bit of fluff or clump of earth-shattering wit she chooses to share with the SDMB. And also perhaps how nice she looks in sequins.

::hauls out very expensive camera and secures proper lighting::

Okay, Francesca, let’s see you be timid…

Oh, isn’t that adorable? ::click click click::

How about…perplexing? God knows I don’t always understand her British voodoospeak.

“Consarnit”? That’s perfect! ::click click::

Now, Fran, time to show your range. Give me vague!

::click click:: Breathtaking! Words to live by! ::click click::

Time for accessories. How about a bonnet?

Absolute art! ::click click:: No one wears crispy-bread-as-head-piece quite the way our Fran can. Gorgeous.

And now just to let everyone know that you’re not all Nilla Wafers and Blood Pudding, let’s have hateful! Grrrrr!

Youch! She’s not one to be trifled with! ::click click click::
I’ll go have these blown up for the Francesca Wallpaper I’m redoing my den with, so let us commence with the niceties and maybe she’ll take off that gown.

I, for one, am ever so pleased to have Francesca around on the boards. Lovya baby, don’t go changin’!

[sub]P.S. Francesca will happily take gifts from all who want her to be happy. She’s registered at whatever pub she’ll be carousing in on Friday and Saturday night at the L.A. Dopefest. She enjoys most items featured in the “Adult Beverage” department.

Congratulations, Fran. You’ve now got two 1000th post threads dedicated to you. You deserve it. You’re so cute with your weird little “English” phrases. Maybe you can find a place in L.A. that serves “bangers and mash” or “Guinness”. Yeah, right. And it’ll be served by pink unicorns with cotton candy tails wearing necklaces of magical Willy Wonka gumdrops. Perhaps you should look into medication.

Francesca has been my lover (in my mind) since she stated:

And now, I shall compose a new song for Frannie.

Francesca’s, Oh Francesca,
I love you, can’t you see?
You’re beautiful and wonderful,
And sexy as can be…
Your accent makes me horny
Your smile makes me weak-kneed
Francesca, Oh Francesca,
you mean everything to me.

Joey Hemlock wins for best gift. Fran will just have to make do with alcohol from me.

Big smooches for my Puddin’, my Special Friend.

As mentioned here, Fran and I decided to get married.

I remember when I first saw her standing there, in her best monkeysuit, looking like a beautiful monkey-goddess. I was wearing my long flowing gown made of gum wrappers (mainly Juicy Fruit) and toilet paper. Some of it was fancy colored toilet paper, and she called me her ‘little love-piñata’.

I love you, Francesca.

See. I wanted to wait until your actual 1000th post to say anything. And here we are!
Yay!

Don’t forget to share those British medications that Woody mentioned with the rest of us.
It is only fair.

I got a casual mention in Francesca’s 999th post. Not exactly the equivalent of a smooch* but, in the circumstances, I’ll settle.

(*like I had even the remotest of chances to begin with…)

Fran, I have to take this opportunity to thank you for introducing me to my absolute favorite phrase I’ve learned on the boards… “Bless his cotton socks!”

Happy 1k, and I hope that you have every ounce of fun you deserve at DTF! It’s been wonderful getting to know you. Give all my BAD’s a hug for me, mmkay?

13

Yay Francesca! I hope you like your caaaaaaandy!

14

As is usual, I’m late for the party. No, Wait! As of this moment, she’s still at 1000 posts! Woo-hooo! I made it JUST in time!

Apropos of little, did anyone else remember reading the teen novel “Francesca, Baby” when they were in Jr. High?

Happy birthday to you… happy. happy…
what?
Oh. Well, happy anyway. :smiley:

Happy 1000 Fran!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
