Yes, it was an empty threat.
I wondered who would be the last poster.
Someone said (heavily paraphrasing here) that we leave all sorts of clues about ourselves in the other threads we post to. Look forward to finding out more about you that way. Here’s hoping your life unfolds…
ps. the sig is taken out of context from the song of the same name. But I think that it works well as a generalization or philosophical statement.

What if you were a lonely old woman dying as you spoke in front of a large group of people with little creepy crawly things underneath your clothes? Is that a tie? 😃
Sorry, babe. I’m evil, aren’t I? Of course, if I was _really_ evil, I’d remind you of all those ugly little dust mites and eyelash monsters crawling on you.
Ooops.
Look! A huge distracting thing!

Now _there’s_ a really personal question I didn’t expect you to answer like that. 🆒 And since **Cap’n Y.** didn’t reply, I’m going to jump in and offer my services. I have hot water, clean towels, mild shaving foam, a brand new safety razor, and most importantly, _ **very steady hands.** _ 😉
But do you think that “getting your hedges trimmed” should happen _before_ or _after_ you get “deflowered”? [sub](Gotta love them gardening metaphors.)[/sub]
And actually, I s’pose the last question should really have been first:
“How well do you **want** to be known?”

**mrblue** , hon, it’s not the itsy-bitsy things that freak me out. (Especially since I already knew about those things and think their cool.). But it’s the big things (ticks, roaches, crickets, spiders, and so on) that really creep me out.
Oh, and don’t run away. I was safe when you were here…😉

_blushing deeply_ Gee, uh, th-th-a-a-ank y-y-you.
**Tygr** , I really don’t think you should do that…I mean, uh, well, just don’t. I might move the wrong way and get nicked. Not good. Oh, and FTR, I wasn’t even thinking about what you were thinking when I read **Cap’n Yoaz’s** post. I was thinking a literal thing. Oh, well…

Hmmmm…well, don’t you think that I have gotten known quite a bit? Hey it may be mostly my mental and emotional aspects that are getting touched on, but you guys (and most of you _are_ guys) are getting to know quite a bit about me already.

Have you thought about a career in entomology?

Whats your favorite candy?
Pez perhaps? 😉
Also I thought I would mention that I have a degree in Anthropology. Lot of good it did me ☹

**Pez** , I don’t know my fave candy…it isn’t Pez though. Sorry. I know you wish it was. I’ll think about it for a while though. Just for you.
You have a degree in Anthro? For what? And what do you do now? (So much for the **dlgirl** questions, huh?)
**mrblue** , I want you in all my dreams. Even nightmares, just so that you can rescue me and we can :whisper:. And you can take me to Vienna _and_ hold me. 😉

It is a slooow day at work today. dlgirl, you have a very well designed website but i gotta admit that animated gif on your main page scared the sh\*t out of me! I am still twitching in my chair.
So here’s a good question I heard a while ago: who would win in a fight, a monkey or a dog?
For this question, imagine that [this](http://www.ximms.com/photopages/25monkey.htm) is the monkey and [this](http://www.realisationweb.com/chiens/Doberman.html) is the dog(either one of them).

I’ll let you in on a secret… I dont really like pez candy much either (shhhhhhh) I like the toys though.
As far as Anthro if you mean why did I get a degree? It’s because I really enjoyed the subject. I was most interested in Cultural Anthropology. I quit after getting my bachelors and waited on tables for 2 years while playing with my old band. Now I work for a telco selling DSL. I hate it.
But enough about me. Back to you…
Ever been think about taking up tai chi? (did I spell that right?)

**eBathory** - I know what you mean about a slow day…it is a slow day at school for me. Oh, and sorry for scaring you, but I like the reaction I get from people when they see it. Tee, hee…I am so evil. 😛
As for the fight qurestion, it wold be the dog. The monkey is cute, it could be rescued. But if the dog had half a chance it would snap the monkey in two and have it for a snack.
**Pezzie** - I won’t tell your little secret. You can count on me. 🙂
I did think about the question some more and seriously can’t decide. Here are a few of the candies I like though…
-See’s - preferably something with nuts, caramel and chocolate.
-Sweet Tarts (chewy ones, not the ones you have to break)
-German Raspberries - Go to Sweet Factory to find what I’m talking about.
But I would really prefer something blue…😉
And I _have_ thought about taking up tai chi. I tried it in high school in an aerobics class and really liked it. It was so relaxing. Aaaah…

See’s? What are see’s? I have never heard of that candy. whats it all about?
And back to tai chi. I want to try it too. One day I will for now I will just stick with beer and TV.
So, what kind of questions do you like? You career? School? sex? food?
[sub]maybe I should do an “ask pexpunk” thread! I think I’ll end up banned ;)[/sub]

**Pezzie**
This is [See’s](http://www.sees.com/). The little stores are found all over CA and there are a lot of them here, too.
I don’t know what kind of questions I like. Just ask me one and I will try to answer. Did you see the questions in the beginning? Woah…I tried to play along, but when I am in the dark in my own thread, it isn’t too good. Anywho, just fire away. 🙂
Oh, and if you _do_ start an “Ask **Pexpunk** ” thread, then please, _please_, _ **please** _ make sure that you have Pexpunk’s permission. 😃

yeah, spelling my name has ALWAYS been a problem!
Well since you called me horny in the other thread I guess I will steer clear of the sex questions.
If you were stuck on a island and could only bring 3 items with you, what would you bring?

**Pez** -
item 1 - water purifier (so that I could live without dehydrating. Duh!) If there is fresh water then skip this one. I would take a book of stories.
item 2 - bit of food. Just in case I can’t find anything to eat for a while.
item 3 - someone to talk to and do things with. Can’t risk being bored on this isle. 😃
Keep 'em coming folks. I am really enjoying telling everyone things about me. Does that make me bad?

Oh, what the fuck, this thread needs a little reviving. Let us turn the heat up a tad, shall we?
You’re a virgin, eh? Well, since you haven’t reached home, have you been to third? Second? First?
Do you shave your, ummm, area?
What size is your bust?
Do you own a vibrator?
Have you ever used anything, other than your hand, for self-pleasure?
What is your thong to regular-underwear ratio?
