Thanks, Scotti! As for where I’m tucking the dollar bills, DRY confided to me on e-mail that he wears thongs. So that’s a start. 😃 ---

Excuse me but I’ll have to see a permit for nekkid dancing. If you don’t have a permit, I’m afraid I’m going to require a private showing. You know, to make sure it’s okay for the rest of you ladies. So come on baby. Shake your groove thang! ---

Very well then, I shall confine flirting to here, at least for the time being (it was kinda cold over in the People Pages Update thread without a shirt anyway). Now then, I think I shall need a beer for this one: ::dispenses with shorts:: Wheee 😃 ---

**Audrey** , darling, I skipped this thread thinking it was Myrr21 bragging about driving around shooting mailboxes or tipping cows or whatever they do early Saturday morning in Maryland. Little did I know he was celebrating the birthday of my little hibiscus blossom, AudreyK! Happy birthday. At least there is still a LOT of it left where you are. Use it unwisely. ---

**Jeez, these serial flirters…** **Myrr** , hon, **I** burned your clothes. I’m really sorry. [sub][Not.][/sub] You still cold? Give me your hands… I said your HANDS… there! Feel warmer now? 😃 **dropzone** , thank you for those sweet birthday wishes. Hibiscus blossom, eh? ::giggle:: I did indeed have a great birthday, thanks to **enilorac** and our buddy, Robert. Thanks, enilorac!! **Frannie** , first baseball, then your similarly excellent taste in men, and now you tell me you’re a Leo too. Any chance we’re related? 🙂 **Anniz** , thanks! That’s definitely the first time I’ve gotten a “happy birthday” in Swedish! Thanks for the flowers too! **soda** , I’m sorry for keeping you in the cooler all this time. You’re not frostbitten, are you? HEY!! Who drank all the beer??! **Revedge** , as long as you’re having fun, and you’re not dancing the Macarena, then you’re welcome to dance here! ::sigh:: **DRY** , who do you think I am, Andrew Golota? And I note that you haven’t denied that you wear thongs, just that you’d never _tell me so_. Can I request an animal print thong, please? I’d really like to see a leopard print, or maybe [and more appropriately] a **snakeskin** print. ::folds numerous dollar bills for easy tucking:: And look at you! Flirting in MY birthday thread! Scotti, how are those cement shoes coming along? ---

Hi, sorry I’m late everyone! I brought more beer! _gives Audrey a blank check for her b-day present_ I would’ve been more personal, but I don’t know what you like. Um, Audrey? Am I the only man here with clothes on? I was once arrested for being at a party similar to this. And - WHOA!! Damn, two hands there, Myrr, cover up, I don’t need to see that. You must have bought the expensive Swedish enlarger. My roommate in the AF bought a cheap one from a catalogue, he didn’t walk right for 3 months after using it. And Audrey, I don’t know how to say Happy Birthday in Swedish, but there is a Spanish phrase I know: _Sientate en mi cara y meneate._ ---

**Scotti** , my darling, my jo. You mean I don’t? I’ll rectify that as soon as I’m done cleaning and rearranging the family room. ---

Hiya BratMan!! Thanks for the check and for bringing more beer… You’re just in time for the pinata! [sub]Psst, there’s disposable cameras behind the chips to capture any embarassing drunken misbehaviours…[/sub] As for the semi-clothed men, well…Myrr asked to be stripped, and you know DRY and his thong thing. Nudity is completely voluntary here. However, if any of the other ladies here tries to whisk you away into a private booth, I advise caution. Anything goes in the booths. Don’t worry about cops busting this joint. I strung up glazed donuts and put out a bunch of coffee machines near all the entrances. Swedish enlarger, eh? Anniz have something to do with that, Myrr? ---
