In that case, here are a dozen roses, and please have a seat as I sing you a love song…  
[me singing]La-dy, from the moment I saw you  
standing, whoa whoa all alone…[/me singing]

Oh Geobabe, if only I could count the grains of sand on a beach, or all the stars in the sky would I be able to measure your beauty, for your loveliness knows no bounds, and cannot be equaled.

**Geobabe** , _mano grazi mylimoji_, your [picture on the People Pages](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/geobabe.html) is totally **hot!**

_Rrrowr!_

All the blokes will be after you now. Just remember me, _tave mileju, tave buciuoju tukstantiu buciniais._

Oh, like they weren’t before. Problem is, none of them seem to be in the same time zone as me. _sigh_ If I could just get somebody who is geographically compatible to chase me, I’d be a happy girl.

I looked at the picture, all I can say is a quote I learned from my dad: “ **Damn girl you make my sticker peck out** ” (He’s an uncurable hill billy)

so, uh, how do you feel about fat old ugly married guys?

Along with cold beer varieties, and red wine,

“Screaming Orgasm”, “Sex On The Beach”, “Bartender’s Semen”, and some other imaginative cocktails are being served now!!

Come over and party on with a bit more juice in you!!!

[sub]And they are free to boot[/sub]

PS: Celestina and Geobabe…

I have a feeling it would be such a blast to work with you ladies…

Would you mind being the waitresses for one party?

_notices MrBlue standing alone_

Okay, I’m still not really participating in this thread, so I’ll just yell all this from over by the door.

MrBlue92, you are

- Tall
- Attractive
- Gainfully employed
- Well-read
- Well-travelled
- Educated
- Funny
- Charming
- Humble

And you:

- Wear cool glasses
- drive a truck
- seem to have a lot of patients with the wimmins
- take good vacation photos
- own the coolest Tyvek world map ever! 🙂

Seriously, any of you Doper females who are fooled by his quiet ways and self-deprecating refusal to flirt overmuch are missing the boat here. I’ve checked out the guy, and we’re talking prime Grade-A beef.

(pardon me for the objectification of your person, MrBlue) _leers a bit_
