There are also _losers_ and losers. We have quite a variety of them here.[sub]loser[/sub] ---

Plus–we can’t ignore them–there are also losers and loosers. You know: for those of us who can’t keep a proper count of ooooour oooooooooooooooooos. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Giggle Gaggle_ > **If you put enough sexually frustrated, celibate losers together…** Hey! That completely ignores that some of us were as slutty as all get-out _before_ we met our respective SOs. I mean, with the willingness to sleep with anything that moved, we’re talking anti-celibacy that approaches Wilt Chamberlin status. Let’s give credit to us floozies where credit is damn well due, thank you very much! ---

And tells almost-strangers about it. \*\* Darn you, Ginger! I meet a nice girl and you have to go divulging my most embarassing secrets! But, for the record, I still stand by my assertation that it was _my friend_ who peed on the lava, but I did happily mark my territory on the southern most post office in the US (which is probably a federal crime, now that I think about it… hey **birdgirl** , I’m a felon, whadda think about that? 😉 ) And I think I have, so far, done an ADMIRABLE job of putting the seat back down given my icky-boy status. ---

I think that peeing on a lava-flow is only a misdemeanor, but then I’m an immigrant so what do I know? ---

Now THERE’s a badge of honor! “See that spit of land over there? Yeah, that’s alllll me, baby.” ---

What a wonderful surprise! We met at a MAD dinner a few months ago–I almost didn’t go to it because I was shy and nervous! So I asked my friend to go with me. Everyone was so great, and I was so glad I went. So after everyone left the dinner, my friend and I were going to stay for a few more drinks, and we asked TTO if he wanted to join us. After we left that place, we went to another bar by my house, then stumbled back to my house where we made a silly drunken post to the board. We became friends…then after a while, more than friends! So there you have it! 🙂 ---

I’m still hoping The Romantic Luck Of The SDMB will cast its spell in my direction… but on the other hand, I’m not failing out of flirt threads anymore! I may be stumbling around incoherently in them, but I’m _not_ failing out of them! 🙂 Must. Get. To. More. Dopefests.
