I think you’re right, Eve. That was a splendid thread. I didn’t get to see its end, but it certainly looked like fun. I always thought Charlie was kinda classy for a ‘dummy.’ Better than Mortimer Snerd any day of the week. 🙂 ---

If she decides to call it off, you’ll be the first to garner my attentions though.😉 _ **Thank goodness!!!** _ I didn’t mean to stand you up. I ended up getting called into work & actually had to do _work_. (Imagine them actually expecting me to do something just because they’re paying me double time :rolleyes: ) By the time I actually got online, it didn’t look like you had been on in a while & I didn’t see any threads about the wedding so…I figured you forgot. I say we skip the big shindig & do the drive-thru wedding chapel in Vegas. My treat. That way we can spend the money we would have spent on tuxes & dresses on Liquid Tide. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Crunchy Frog \* > \*\ ***iampuhna** - not a Dallas fan either, huh? I’m starting to like you more and more. As I always say, my 2 favorite teams are the Rams and whoever’s playing against the Cowboys. \*\* Oh, I **loathe** Dallas. Passionately. Them and the Yankees . . . can’t tolerate either one. My favorite teams are the Colts, Redskins, and anyone playing Dallas. Colts v. Dallas is great. So is 'Skins vs. Dallas. Anyone who wants to court struuter has to first displace me as her boyfriend back in SDMB high school. ---

I’ve still got that thong **thinksnow** … I wear it from time to time. Since I’m going to be getting virtually larger in the coming months my thong days might be over though. I’m going to need a virtual father for my virtual baby because obviously **Crunchy Frog** isn’t going to take any responsibility and help me out with this virtual pregnancy. That’s o.k. though… he’s got his hands full with **little\*bit** and **Tally-Ho**. He was just a virtual one night stand to me so I’m going to toss him back to his beautiful bride-to-be and his beautiful mistress. Ahh, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all! :rolleyes: ---

thinks, a little possessiveness can be flattering. When it indicates favor and not lack of trust. 🙂 Giddy? Really? ---

Ha! thinksnow, I was flirtin with struuter since you were in newbie-diapers. Course, so was I, technically, but I managed. Just check this out… [When I met struuter](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=34742&pagenumber=1) It all took place aboard the good ship weirddave, when I was but a young lad, smitten by her beauty. But hey, that said, I think I’m gonna drop out of the running. struuter’s right, I’ve got a campaign, and though Bill Clinton could do it, I’m afraid I’ll just have to admire her beauty from afar. Also, you’re both my threadkilling pals, so I don’t wanna raise up any bad blood. Best wishes to the both of you, on your quest for virtual love! \ Hey, ladies, how YOU doin? Uhhh…ladies? Hey, ladies! Wait up! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-i-love-thee-virtually/37288.md?page=1)
