Well, if we’re going to get funding, we’ll need to keep SOME kind of record. Also, in the case of new discoveries, we need to leave something for posterity.
Fine men and women! Don’t let’s be sexist. Anyway, if it were only men, they’d give us money just to watch through a hole in the wall.
nods Understood. I’ll have to make sure to keep that in mind for future. But thank you for at least stopping by… 
Why… that sounds wonderful. And the water would be a perfect place for the both of us… natural habitat. I could certainly use some relaxation.
Good point. Can I type it rather than write it? My handwriting is attrocious, and I have this really comfortable space under my desk that you could sit in, dictating to me while I type.
hangs head in shame I can’t believe I was so insenstitive. Of COURSE We’ll have to make sure the demonstration is pleasing to everyone. The women are usually harder to persuade than the men - especially with funding for a project like this - but I’m sure we’ll be able to dazzle them with the ground we’re trying to break here. 
So’s your spelling.
If I’m under your desk, it’ll be tough to dictate. But if it’s about speaking, I can turn a flowery phrase with my tongue.
Not only are the women harder to persuade, but harder to please, as well (not that I’ve done a comparative study, mind you).
I never claimed that spelling was one of my many talents. They lie elsewhere. 
I have a feeling it would be more that you’d have ME turning flowery phrases with your tongue.
Oh, I’m a VERY easy woman to please… as easy as making a kitten purr. Maybe I can prove the exception to your rule…
Let me be the judge of that. It’s not that I don’t trust you, though…We’re Floridians. It’s all about the recount.
You kidding? You’d be reduced to incoherent babbling!
as easy as making a kitten purr? Gee, no imagery there, eh?
Well, it’s not so much a rule, more of a…personal challenge? You’re convincing me to drive down to that Ren Faire, you know!
groan How did I KNOW that would come up?
But at least this will be a more pleasant recount than the last one…
Let ME be the judge of THAT.
Though I have a feeling you aren’t far wrong.
As long as I get the point across…
The Ren Fest is fun in and of itself… add in a dozen or so Dopers, and where the day takes us is anyone’s guess!
And you know, I’ve never been a personal challenge before!
Sorry. I had to say it. I tried not to, really!
This one will be more pleasant, but I don’t think it’ll last quite as long. Or have as many people making fun of it.
You can be the judge of anything you want to, dear…just as long as you’re wearing one of those sexy black, shapeless robes.
If you’re REALLY lucky, you may get to see me in green tights!
And I always rise to a good challenge!
Oh, I’m sure we can make it last a LONG time if we really wanted to.
Just so you can imagine what I [sub]don’t[/sub] have on underneath it?
Ooh! I love a man that dresses the part!
And rising is just what I had in mind…
You’d better believe it! (all I have to do is think “Katherine Harris” over and over…that could keep me, um…“mellow” for weeks!)
That’s right! No real hints and my imagination will run wild!
[sub]BTW: I can be very** imaginative when I want to be[/sub]
Hmm…I guess my Spiderman costume would be inappropriate then? It’s not really Renaissance.
um…um…Dammit!
Okay, so I DON’T have a witty retort for that one.
Guess I’ll have to be punished.
looks in
wanders back out Wouldn’t want to intrude…
(And At? I could care less if you flirt here or not. You still do on AIM, might as well here too. You don’t wanna play, don’t blame ME.)
Oh, come on, you know she really does it for you!
Oh really? And what are you imagining right now???
Well, inappropriate there, maybe, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t find some place for you to wear it later…
Dammit, now I have to think of an appropriate punishment.
You don’t happen to like whips, do you???
Oh, please don’t leave! I would love to have lots and lots and lots of people in here again tonight. It was so much FUN last night! Please???
Oh, yeah…pasty-faced soul sucking vampiresses always get me hot…you ARE a pasty-faced, soul sucker aren’t you?
If I tried to type what I’m imagining right now, my computer screen would melt. And if you tried to read it… well, let’s just say it’s a good thing you’re sittling down.
All I’ll say is, the hotel room better have some high ceilings…
TruePisces, you must be my soulmate.
Well, my ex describes me that way…
Now you really have ahold of my interest…
I’ll be back in just a minute… I knew I laid that thing around here somewhere…
Oh! So he still speaks highly of you, even though he’s your ex. That’s cool.
Now you really have ahold of my interest…**

That’s not ALL I have ahold of…you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to type with this thing.

It’s OK, no rush…we can improvise. got a yardstick? curly phone cord? staple remover…wait. not staple remover. it’s our first thread together, and I don’t want to rush things.
You mean you can type with it too? My, you ARE talented!
Damn it, the staple remover is the only thing I have on my desk right now… The phone cord won’t come out of the phone. I guess I’ll have to look around and see what other, gentler, things I have access to at the moment.

Babe, you don’t know the HALF of what I can do with it!
Only problem is, now most of my keys stick.
Well, I don’t usually do this, but…OK. (and you didn’t even buy be a drink! And…put down that pencil!
I’m certainly capable of providing it.
Btw, suits are not optional in the hot tub. They are banned.
So slide on in and I’ll make you feel good.
