Yer welcome, **Sparky**. I told you these people were da shit. 😃

I think that this board is out of this world (in so many different ways, but I digress). I also felt welcome from the word ‘Go’, even though I never had an introductory post (I’m too flippin’ shy. Go figure). I’m proud of my addiction to the SDMB, and I’ve even managed to assimilate someone into the hive.

Now, where the hell’s my _toaster_? 😃

I think you may have gotten confused as to the group for which you were recruiting.

I’ll say. Toasters are on aisle three with the transvestites.

This is where you get cellphone-bras.

**Featherlou** , your husband is a traitor.

Right. So I see your name in the “last poster” column. I think to myself “Oh, Poly’s the last poster. I bet he cracked a joke.” I was prePARED.

I load the thread, I read your post. 😕 I scroll up in the thread, wondering if I missed something, get to the point from which I’d left off before, scroll back down wondering just what in the world I’ve missed.

Having resigned myself to one of two fates (1: I didn’t get it or 2: it’s a pop culture reference I missed), I alt-left in my browser to go back to MPSIMS and see if there’s anything else interesting going on. I set it to refresh and briefly go back to my Civ3 game (one of two major distractions tonight, the other being Diablo 2. A guy can lose a lot of posting time to those two games).

As soon as I get back to my game it hits me. Third cup. Opal. Duh-uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

That was SO bad! SO bad! Bad **Polycarp** , BAD! When came back, brought no pie for you!

The more you flee, the faster it will ensue.

_Run, baby, run_!

Evidently I missed more posts than I thought. I sleep in at least some clothing, but nothing on my feet.

The implications of penis ensuing the faster I run, re: me running naked through so many threads, is something I’m going to leave the hell alone (beyond this, anyway).

42DD - do we have any in black, or perhaps a lovely shade of peach? And do they come with a headset, or do I just speak directly to my rack? 😃

Well, as a specialist in rack-mounted communications equipment, I…

What? You don’t do laundry? You don’t wash dishes or vacuum?

Hm. Didn’t you claim you were a short attention span Doper?

If a 42DD bra is not available in black, then there is _no_ justice in this world.
