**Swimming** , all female posters will in future be judged solely by the “psychic orgasm” standard. You will need to do better than a simple reminder that breasts are an erogenous zone if you’re going to move up in that category.

And **SwimmingRiddles** is a little difficult to rhyme: dripping piddles? bulging middles? sawing fiddles?

You did, and I do. Thank you. 😃

I honestly did not post this as a “look at me 'cause I’m being ignored” thread, I was just trying to jab at **Unc** and **Wally** good-naturedly.

Esprix, who is now waiting for **Rousseau** to jump in and tell me what an awful person I am

I can’t believe how upset you are, especially after all the thought I put in my question to your Ask The Gay Guy thread! 😃

Seriously, you are one of the best aditions this board has seen in the last few months. Posters like you are what keep me coming back to this board.

So it’s sympathy you want, Esprix? I’ve been posting here daily since this friggin’ board opened. I didn’t receive a mention from Wally or Uncle Beer or Mullinator. Or Coldfire or BigRory or ChefTroy. I wasn’t mentioned in Eve’s or Trion’s thread. I’m never mentioned in any of the “popularity” threads. OpalCat ran a poll which took up eight pages, had over a hundred categories, and collected I don’t know how many votes. And I got one lousy vote.

So you see, aenea, you don’t make people feel better with jokes and compliments. You make them feel better by showing them people who are worse off than they are. So I’ll just lay here in my dark damp corner, unloved and miserable, eating worms.

Uh, you do realize you just said that to a gay guy, don’t you? Was that a request? 😛

Little Nemo, sorry you feel so left out. Even I was mentioned in a thread - by Kat.

Sucks to be you. 😉

If you want me to write you a steamy love letter, I will, but I think we’d have to find someone with a bit more testosterone for it to work.

Ah, well, thank you kindly, nice lady, but I already got a love letter from my own **Chef Troy** and the well-intentioned **BigRoryG** , but, alas, did _not_ get one from the self-proscribed Steamy Love Letter Mogul **Mullinator** , as he, like you, felt he might not be up to the task.

I still remain forlorn over **UncleBeer** ’s and **Wally** ’s spurning of my requests. ☹
