Judging from some of the ladies’ responses in this thread, maybe I should set up the camera on a tripod, take off my shirt, and snap pictures every few minutes while I’m running the sawmill like I did most of the weekend. I could host my own web site, for $4.95 a pop … Who am I kidding, I’m slut enough to do it just for the compliments. However, I suspect you all would find that it’s not as erotic in real life as it in your mental images. ---

Nah, we just think you’re slut enough for the hamsters to blatantly advertise to the hamsters like that. 😃 Tripler . . . and you just keep your real life to yourself, thankyouverymuch. ---

I don’t suppose you could dab a little diesel behind your ears while you’re at it? 😃 ---

**Cowgirl Jules** reminded me of something. . . . . . remember _waaaay_ back when there was that calendar of Dopers in suggestive photos? I wonder if the Ladies of the Dope would be up for a “Working Men of the Dope Calendar 2007”. :dubious: Tripler I know the GF would probably like one. ---

You could put that on a plate and serve it for the daily special at the Cafe Erotica. :o thinking of hot BF… ---

[QUOTE=Tripler] Yeah, you know what just popped into my head? “If it turned out that my neighbors were Dopers, that’d be über-creepy.” Tripler Strangely, I thought I saw Rod Serling on the side of the road this morning. . .

Even if they were aware of what they’d interrupted (were they?) they’d just about have to act like nothing happened in the interest of peace and harmony. I mean, otherwise there’s neighborhood awkwardness for miles. Like the neighbor up the street from me that I held at gunpoint after she jumped my fence on a rainy night while having a drug-induced freakout. We \*totally \* pretend each other doesn’t exist. A little boinkus-interruptus, and they may be giggling a little, but it’s probably a bigger deal to you than to them. We hope, anyway! Or else you’ve terrified them into amnesia with your cordless drill-weilding prowess. ---
