All the best, **Gundy**! You and **KK** are a fantastic couple and I wish you guys all the happiness in the world. (I think we’re going to have to go out for more drinks soon to celebrate again… it was good seeing you guys at Cans last night, but it was too durn loud in there and I couldn’t hear a word you guys were saying!)

Do you meet via the dope or not? Lives hang in the balance depending on how you answer.

It’s about time you two did this! Seriously, all of the best to both of you! You two are great together.

We can still flirt with you online, right. I mean with **Krusty** , of course.

::runs nekkid through—

Ohhhh. Now I suppose you’ve got someone ELSE to do that for you.

I’m with **Hamadryad** on this one. When do _I_ get to be engaged? Hmm? When will I find that special someone?

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON THRUSTING YOUR HETEROSEXUAL LIFESTYLE ON ME???

::goes to bed in a huff::

::touches **fizzy** ’s left hand, feels ring on her finger::

::comes to **grand realization** ::

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

::does the happy nekkid—

Er, sorry about that again. I tend to get naked in happy threads.

You’re a sweetheart! And it’s not like we were saying anything important or good, anyway.

We did not. I introduced him to the dope, though, and most dopers who have met me have met him.

Shibb, you can flirt with Krusty anytime. He asked me to make that clear, specifically to you. ANYTIME. Thanks for the good wishes!
