But I’ve brought along a gallon of white likker out of the batch me and cousin Joe-Frank ran off last week. Be careful with it - it’s goin’ about 160.

Happy birthday!

First off, I do \* not \* flirt with cereal…

Now that we’ve got that cleared up…what?..burned my clothes? Well then, I guess I’m gonna have to stay this way.

And I’m not even going to dignify that Swedish comment with a response… _humph_

Err, Audrey, there’s more of me than the hands that needs warming up 😉

Whaat? No, I ain’t drunk. I just, well, I had to keep warm somehow, you know. Damn good beer too. But I could use a hot tub right about now.

Who brought more beer?

I brought more beer, since we aren’t using any in my thread, which is definitely [not a postcount party](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=33578) so we don’t need it over there.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but I’d like to officially not invite everyone here, since there really is no party to not get invited to. (Don’t get offended please by the non-invitation, read the thread to get the joke.) In the meantime, I’m getting cold standing here in my skivvies.

I don’t suppose Audrey would care to try to warm me up? You’ll definitely get a more personal present than the blank check that way. 😉

Hey Bratman, back off; she’s a-warmin me up here 🙂

\<puff . . . wheeze . . . puff\>

Sorry it took me so long, **Scotti**. The family room is much improved, I had to battle a troll, and Tubagirl was checking in with news from her wedding.

\<dropzone stops abruptly, dazzled by the sundown showing through Scotticher’s auburn hair\>

Your beauty overwhelms me. Your voice sings of a breeze blowing through the Highlands. The blush of the heather cannot compare with the roses in your cheeks. If your eyes are green they are the green of pastures kept neat by the mickle coos. If your eyes are blue they are the blue of a Highland sky at mid-summer. If your eyes are brown, well, I would suspect you were lying about being a redhead, but we could make sure.

I’m back! I’ve been really busy the last couple days, but I just had to come back here…

**Myrr**! Hey there, sweetie! Miss me?

::Thinks to self: I’ve got a cute naked guy in my lap! This is the best present I’ve EVER gotten!::

**dropzone** , damn, you are _smooth_…

**soda** , you’re stripping? I didn’t know we had a hot tub in here… I guess we do now, eh? Cool! Don’t worry about the beer, **filthy** and **BratMan** were nice enough to bring reinforcements!

Never ask a question to which you don’t _really_ want to know the answer. 😛

Good Point!

OK, Mr. Snake does not like to wear thongs. Thus, I don’t wear them.

Not that you couldn’t have figured this out. I suspect that people who wear thongs aren’t too shy to have their pictures put up on the people pages.

I flirted in Shayna’s birthday thread as well. I’ll flirt in ANYONE’S birthday thread.

_Whaaaat?!_ You don’t post your pic (BTW, I promised to stop bugging you about this, didn’t I?) to the People Pages, but you’ll STRIP?!

What? There wasn’t a hot tub? What kind of party are you throwing here anyway?  
It doesn’t matter, it seems as if I can keep both warm and DRY without it.

I believe I’m a couple of days late, but what the heck…Happy Birthday Aud. How YOU doin’?

Hey struuter, you wanna head over to the bar, and then to the pool? I figured we could get a little sloshed, and then do some swimmin’. What’ya say?

Yes, of course. And you can have most of the icing. I like just a little with my cake. Now…what you do with that extra icing is ENTIRELY up to you.
