As a founding member of the **Help, there are no smart, fun and hot women after me** club, I feel that I should suggest that perhaps our two fine organizations gather in some sort of tradional get-to-know-each-other fashion. Perhaps we could have a hoe-down of some sort. Tell everyone that there will be punch and pie. ---

**Tripler**. Rules were SO made to be broken. Except for mine, of course. If my rule weren’t that the gorgeous guy has to chase me, why…I’d positively surround you in emotional affection. 😃 ---

I think I need to unbutton my shirt a bit, getting a bit warm in here. Let me turn on the [radio](http://www.angelfire.com/tn2/OneWayAlways/Freaky.html) for you jazzmine. Ah yeah, there’s a groovy tune. Would you like to dance with me here under the moon light? ---

When I was about thirty, I considered myself to be pudgy and quite ordinary looking. I didn’t date a lot and prospects were glum. I went to Northern Europe for the summer and found myself pursued by wonderful gorgeous Viking men! They are beautiful men – kind and smiling and fun. Travel! ---

A thread full of women in need of gorgeous men? I’m here, ladies. Please form an orderly queue. _The Plain People of the Straight Dope_: Correct us if we’re wrong, Steve, but didn’t you go on the record as being something less than gorgeous? We believe your exact words were, and we quote, “I look like three hundredweight of camel droppings.” Well … yes. But they’re _pedigree_ camel droppings. ---
