So she didn’t appreciate it. She can make that known if she wishes.

I can point out that probably most people don’t care if he or she finds something unfunny.

Actually, **Revtim** , if you look at the sequence of the posts, you’ll see I was saying that **Steve Wright’s** post _was_ funny, but this one was not. Get it? A is funny, B is not. Just my own little opinion.

It’s so fun when someone pays that much attention to me. I love it! Thanks for noticing what I do and don’t like!!

And I can point out that even _more_ people don’t care whether or not you care.

Isn’t this fun?

She’s either a lesbian or a whore. Probably both.

The only thought I have had while reading this thread is that there are surely a lot of housewives int he neighborhood that get a little bit lonely when the husband is at work or on a business trip.

Seems to me that the perfect solution is to become the neighborhood’s lonely housewife gigolo (now with optional daughter pleasing capabilities).

No, you missed **December** ’s point. She was upset by his tendency to keep sucking her toes. 😃

(long venting coming)

You know, I’m disappointed and a little mad about some of the responses here. The man came in and spoke his mind because he feels a little like a pariah since he’s single and lives in suburbia with his own house, and we have comparisons to bestiality and mass murder. I know exactly how he feels, because I’m there myself. I have a brief respite, because I did just have a relationship for almost a year, but I was in my home 6 years before it started, and I’m there now after it ended. [sub] it only cost me a few grand, a lot of self respect, and my best friend. cheap [/sub]. So now we’re serial murderers, outcasts from \* Mockingbird \*, freaks, and pedophiles. Nice. A stray joke or two is one thing, but there are a lot. When we’re alone “involuntarily” we don’t ask ourselves what’s wrong with us enough? (at least some of us do). I only met him once, but \*\*Elmwood \*\* semed nice enough.  
\*\*Javaman \*\* is right, our sexuality is questioned. Yes, \*\* Guin \*\*, I have been asked to my face by an acquiantance (who I thought was a friend), “You know, we never see you coming around with any girls, are you, uh…”. “No, Pete, I’m not gay. [sub] I just can’t get a date.[/sub]” Yeah, that feels good. "No, buddy, I like the right people. They just all dislike me. " Feels real good when a year you DO get a date is a good year. And that ISN’T an exaggeration.

\*\* Dwyr \*\*, i don’t know how the female analogue feels. I don’t think I can try it without a lot of surgery, tho… I imagine it doesn’t feel good. (my obigatory joke)

\*\* Incubus\*\*, I’m well on my way to that cranky old guy at the end of the block. I’m the kind that’ll be found a week after he has a heart attack when the house starts to smell.

\*\* Sue\*\*, if I had the guts to go up to my neighbors and ask for intros, I might be able to meet them on my own. I don’t have the guts. I’m not a helluva lot better talking to guys and married women.

\*\*Twisty, \*\* I’m just not that outgoing, and could never deal with that many strangers. I even skip some of the Dopefest gatherings because of this. No BBQ.

**Andy** , 2 60-ish women live at the next corner. They say they are sisters. The neighborhood gossips say they’re lesbians. (I don’t give a shit. they don’t bother me) (irionically \*\* Andy\*\* answers this - **Andygirl** , of course, being one of our more prominent lesbians - and a nice person.)

and no, \*\* Mully\*\*, I’d rather be alone than share a woman. I don’t do that. If she’s sleeping with someone else, I don’t sleep with her. Little rule I have. She doesn’t have to marry me, but I have to be #1, not the other one.

To those neighbors who look funny at us, we don’t ask you like us. Just treat me like you would a married guy who lived there. Some do. Some do say hello. Some say hello to nobody. Fine. Just treat me like everyone else.

Thanks for listening.

In retrospect, the way I phrased this could be read as I was saying being gay was intrinsically worse than being straight. That is not my feeling (though it might or might not have been his). If I offended anyone by this, I apologize.

You lucky bastard! I have kind of an opposit problem. My wife and I are “the cool neighbors” and have the damn kids always coming over to “see the animals” (and they ALWAYS bring their f\*&ing dogs over and scare the S%t out of the livestock!) and asking if they can “do some work for extra money”.

If it weren’t in such bad taste and potentially huge to backfire, I wouldn’t mind a rumor going round about being the guy responsible for launching 1000 milk cartons.

the only benefit is MY house don’t get egged on Halloween! 😃
