Oooh-kay. No problems here. So on the Favorite Posters thing I rated somewhere around the lepers corner. Funny, offbeat but still a leper. (As the leper said to the hooker, “keep the tip”.)

Well, as we nerds are wont to say, “Ptui, I spit!”

Summoning the unsought, the overlooked and the dismissed: we’re meeting in the corner for bagpipe practice, bad trivia swappin’ and hormone-and-deprivation nerd lust.

Dorks prevail!

Hey!

You didn’t get skunked this time, Veb.

You’re on my list.

Did you just sigh and mutter, “big deal?”

Okay, now that I’ve done the mandatory girlfriend choosing her boyfriend, here’s a couple I wouldn’t mind getting to know better

Doobieous - for being one of the few like me that can’t eat rich desserts, and for being lucky enough to live where Robert Louis Stevenson wrote

Aura - cause you like swordplay and adventure and anyone that likes that has to be cool 😃

Omni - anyone that would sit that long and wait on a DCC to give me Mr Roboto has my vote - and I know our debates would never be boring 😃

* * *

When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?

Well, Eden, I’m flattered. I just thought everybody was going to thumb their noses and me and go “Phphtttp! You’ve gotta right yourself love notes Loserface!”

To answer the OP more seriously, I must admit that I never get the desire to date anybody on message boards. Really you all are just a bunch of paragraphs tø me. Which isn’t bad, I mean, some really great writers are all a bunch of paragraphs to me.

Unless someone has a very provocative name, I can’t really imagine being around them. Not that the image I would get would be accurate; after all, all the cats around here aren’t really cats, but I always sort of imagine that they _are_ gigantic cats, who sit at the keyboard and type messages delicately with their paws, and then preening their paws after hitting the “send” button.  
So I guess I had have to pick one of them to date, since what could be better than a cat who could type???

I vote for evil me.

No pity for myself here.  
Just shameless self-promotion.

So what if I only have less than 200 posts?  
So what if I don’t “me too” every thread. (Just every other one) So what if typing out flame wars just isn’t my cup of Earl Grey.

I am adorably sexy. Extremely witty. And, for the most part, usually get the UBB codes right. 😉

So I guess I have a decision to make  
–be the more controversial/funny/flirty me– **OR** –continue being the only-comment-when-I-have-something-to-share-me and vote for myself everytime we have one of these lovely contests–

_me_ or me? _me_ or me? _me_ or me?

What? No one cares? Oh, okay. Nevermind.

Bah… to hell with the “Let’s play it safe and pick our significant other” game. I’m _already_ dating her, so time to delve into fantasy-land…

In no special order:  
Falcon - 'Cause she’s always unusally happy to see me. Well, she’s probably that happy to see everyone, but I’m not paying attention to them.

EvilBeth - Just cause she’s adorably sexy. She wouldn’t lie, would she?

Cessandra - Every few years, I try to trade in my older girlfriends for a younger, teenage model.

ChrisCTP/Boli/ValerieBlaise/Gaudere - Hey, they all saw me drunk (or as the politely put it, “more relaxed”) and they still talk to me.

Michelle - 'Cause she’s just a damn sweet person.

Hmmm… there’s probably more, but that’s okay. There’s plenty of Jophiel to go around for everybody!

</div>

Ok my real list.

Drainy - She’s sexy, smart, lovable and supportive  
Zette - she’s creamy sex on a cracker  
EvilBeth - Because in reading her posts I realize i’d like her to post more often  
Ayesha - Because she’s spunky and cute and gives me loads of crap in chat  
Lanna - Doesn’t post often but is great fun in chat  
LittleCow - Because she’s so damned CUTE!  
Falcon - She’s the cat’s PJ’s  
ValBase - She’s 10 lbs of funky in a 5 lb bag!  
Angkins - A nice girl who’s also hot sex on a stick!  
KelliBelli - Because she’s so cute when she gets annoyed at me.  
Cessandra - because she is the spitting image of a porn chick.  
I’d also like to give honorable mention to any of the women who play along with my chat ho-ing.  
SOrry to anyone I forgot.

Psycat, of course. I like her posts, and I certainly like the way she looks and there is just _ **something** _ about her eyes that I find fascinating. I think she would be an interesting person to get to know.

I hate this thread. I just KNOW I’m going to leave someone out. I’ve been reading and reading and reading, and you don’t know how hard I’ve resisted, but…What can I say, I have no will power 😉

So, with no further ado:

**CanadianSue** , just because I have a great time whenever you’re around. BTW, where my CrackHos at??!!  
**Falcon** , for greeting me with a smile each and _every_ time I go online.  
**Psycat** , smart, passionate about life, sexy and, for some reason I think she’d dig my Spiderman Underoos. Not sure why, just a feeling I get 😉  
**PurpleCrackWhore** , you are adorable hon. You knows I loves ya.  
**VogueVixen** ,for being the fiestyest girl I know(and for grabbin’ my bootie in SF ;-).  
**Veb** , for her reality checks in GD and also because she’s a librarian(God that’s sexy!)

And now for something totally different!

The nominees for best male performance are as follows:

**Doobieous** , for being wiggedy-wiggedy-wiggedy wack, rupturing the seams in his jeans from shaking his thang, and for being just about the coolest person in chat. What up meng?  
and  
**ChefTroy** , he just seems to be a hunk-a hunk-a burnin’ love. Well, that and the way he sings that “You and Me, simultaneous…” song. heheh, you go boy!

I’d also like to mention Cessandra and Byzantine(you see,I don’t have sex on a “date” so women are included in my lists.
