You know, y’all are just so damn _cool_, so I try to jump in and get in on a little of the jokering going on, and what happens? _ **I get stood up!** _

Well, not by everyone - **Coldfire** provided me with my witty faux e-mail account (Non\_Ignorant\_C\*cksucking\_Doper@hotmail.com), and even **Mr Socko** gave a shot at a new sig line (even going so far as to call me “the cool **Gay Guy** ,” and giving me, “In most of life, you have to kiss a lot of frogs in order to find a prince. A Socko-ism”).

But what about the rest of you, huh? At least **Mullinator** told me outright he wouldn’t write me a steamy love letter (and thanks to **Chef Troy** for ably fitting the bill, and even **BigRoryG** for his hopelessly heterosexual attempt :D). But where’s my custom sig line from **WallyM7**? Or my custom profile from **Unclebeer**? C’mon, guys - when a sock puppet gets a chuckle in before you guys do… what does this say about the state of the SDMB?

Sheesh! What’s a guy gotta do?

Hey Esprix,

Why is it do hard for women to find men that are sensitive, caring, and good looking?

Because those men already have boyfriends!

I’ll assume that’s meant as a compliment towards me, so thank you. 🙂

Now, what the heck prompted such a nice comment? Does my whining turn you on? 😃

Sir, you damn me with faint praise. My letter to you was not **able;** it was toe-curlingly, fan-yourself-with-the-printout, blush-to-the-hairline, **steamy.** At least it would have been if I hadn’t been worried about freaking out the straights. If you want NC-17, you’ll have to e-mail me and ask for it.

Esprix—

It’s in my “You’re the Top” thread, a few bumps down here in MPSIMS. OK, I only used “dildo” because it rhymed with “Billdo,” and used you because I already made one crack about Satan, but . . . Hey, even Irving Berlin had to think quick on his feet!

I don’t have a boyfriend…

I’m in the market, but I was hoping for someone of the female persuasion

Does the NC-17 version involve nubile young men of Asian descent? If so, that would definitely put a little more steam in it. 😃

Of course it was all those things, **Chef** , but if I overpraise you, I’ll make everyone else jealous, and that’s just not fair, now is it? 😉

See, **aenea**? Everything I do for this board, including matchmaking, and I can’t even get a sig line. ☹

And **SkySlash** neglected to mention he’s cute as a button. His picture is posted in both the “Who’s Who” and “If you’re gay…” threads.

Hey, wait a second. Eve includes you in her “Your The Tops” thread, I include you in my “Trion’s 100th post…” thread. Seems to me Mr. “la-de-da nobody plays with me” needs to spend a little more time reading the board and a little less time complaining.

D’oh! I’ll go look right now. I apologize, but I can’t read _everything_ that’s posted here. ☹

Besides, I specifically asked **Unca** and **Wally** , and have heard not one peep from either of 'em.

Geez, Esprix, in the “Totonto” thread I lovingly and patiently explained why I, coyly mentioned by you as the love of your life, could not marry you and move to Canada.

Is that why you’rw upset?
