Hey, how long did it take you to respond to this thread in the first place?

Bad Canadian! No moose!

_throws hands into the air_

I give up, Matt. If you want to keep chasing after your alabaster-chested pretty boy while he keeps on being coy, FINE. I’ll just go over here, curl up into a ball, and eat wet cigarettes in the dark.

Hmph.

You think I’m going to just come running back because you’re bored waiting for the ice queen to answer you?

_quick surreptitious just-kidding wink to Esprix_

Ecoutez, Montrealais… I’m pouting right now. You’re going to have to work a little harder than that to salve my hurt feelings.

_bursts into theatrically melodramatic sobbing_

I’LL say it is.

Matt, why don’t you come sit on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas?

Imagine Esprix’ chagrin…oh well, he had his chance and he blew it (NO pun intended!)

Matt honey, I see a golden opportunity for you here. Cheffie is a hottie!

OK, it’s been two weeks, and I don’t know about anyone else, but _I’m_ still waiting expectantly for **Esprix** ’s response. What’s the holdup over there? 😉

Oh, but Esprix! You’re just going to leave us all hanging after such a wonderfully drawn out build up? How could you!?! ::pouts::

How many times to I have to say it, Matt? Esprix is a tease. He’s vaporware.

Whereas I have proven that I deliver by writing you a mash note in my “naughty love letters from Cheffie” thread.

(sigh) I guess I shouldn’t wait around to be noticed by someone whose head is turned by pretty boys…

Patience, child. {sigh} Youth - wasted on the young… 😉

And **Chef Troy** , what good do affections do you - you’re _married_, dear, something neither **matt** nor I am. Perhaps lusting after a lustable object such as you is simply not worth the effort, as you’re the ultimate unattainable prize, whereas I, newly singled, am quite attainable, _n’est-ce pas_?

Yo, what about **Goboy**? Why isn’t anyone fighting to acquire territorial rights over my luscious form? I’m ready, willing, and available.

_slowly_ Soooooo… you’re saying… I’m a lustable object?

I can live with that.

I _ **do** _ take issue with the idea that matt’s attentions wouldn’t do me any good just because I can’t fly to Canada and pin him to the mattress. However, I see your point. Sigh.

Can I watch, then?
