One look from **Red Matrix** can shred your clothes at 10 paces.

There he goes again – fulfilling prophecies, creating legends, and gettin’ all the women. Those who don’t want to be **cityboy916** are truly bereft of synaptic functionality.

**verbenabeast** - leaves your computer screen smelling like a meadow in springtime.

**Horseflesh** - always knows what to say, is never at a loss for words, and is also quite popular with the ladies. We humbly bask in the presence of one so great as you.

**SanguineSpider** - for one so lovely as yourself I would offer my services as guide, computer technician, ah… finder of things lost, umm… guess that’s all I do but I would certainly offer them to you anyway.

\*\* spogga \*\* Well for what it’s worth and speaking purely unbiased you understand, I think that you are possibly, nay! certainly, the nicest person to frequent these illustrious forums.

Far be it for me to blow ones own trumpet [God only knows I’ve tried, ended up with a bad back]…anyway as I was saying from a strictly non-partisan window, I think you are wonderful and If I wasn’t you I’d marry myself if you get the drift, right, OK?

That sounds rather holy in a warped way, **Red Matrix**. Are you my God?

**Ilsa\_Lund** makes me tinkle like an overexcited puppy at a Bowie concert!

**Ponder Stibbons** makes the world go 'round. He’s kicky.

**cityboy916** wants to be everything to me. How cool is that?

Well, don’t read _too_ much into it. I was actually remembering the end of the remake of _The Italian Job_ where the computer geek wants a stereo system so loud it blows the clothes off women (he gets it and it does). I simply embellished in your name.

Try this one on:

**Red Matrix** – Ribbed for our pleasure.

**Ponder Stibbons** – Worth his weight in chocolate and just as tasty.

**Ilsa\_Lund** – A geologist’s wet dream: Heart of Gold, Eyes of Sapphire, and a Soul of Diamonds.

**spogga** – A veritable porcupine of love. Stick me big boy!

**SanguineSpider** – There’s no such thing as too much Red.

**cityboy916** – The last of a dying breed. Quick, somebody snare him and stuff him!
