Well madame, as someone else who tends to get snubbed and ignored, I would like to extend you a warm… er… hand… of friendship. Here, have a virtual cup o’ coffee (or tea, or Hot Toddy)… {_}>
So… any plans to come on down to California?

Back to the OP,
Dearest Lauren,
The aching of my internal organs has since subsided. I believe that it was something I ate.
Be that as it may, my yearning for you is deep, painful, and completely ignoring standard English.
I pine for you.
Andy
Sigh . … always a groomsman, never a bride.
Luar, girl? Post more- especially on celebrations & condolences. Flirt a bit- even with us old fogies. Post a ic- here or on the people pages. Guys will say you’re cute.
Well, I can honestly say I feel your pain.
Lemme see here…
500 some odd posts, and I can count the number of posters who would recognize my name without taking my shoes off.
Sigh
Of course it doesn’t help that I’m consistently outclassed by a good 90% of this board (for example, andygirl’s previous posts. How can I be expected to top something like that? I mean really now).
Okay, okay.
You’re Canadian, a gamer and 18. But now on to important things…
How big are your boobs?
What are your feelings toward guys in uniform?
Didn’t I welcome you to the boards, or was that somebody else?
anyway, hi! 
Thanks for the plug, Snooooopy.
See, Laur, there’s what you’re missing. Emmissaries.
I’ll give you the first attention-slut lesson for free …
Sincerity … once you can fake that, you got it made.
By the way, how ya doin’? I’ve seen you about the boards and you seem like a right outstanding poster.

VIDIOTS UNITE

Alas, I’m not much of a Buffy fan, so I can’t contribute there.
Attention-Slut lesson number 2 … As exhibited by this very post, sometimes substance don’t mean doo-doo. Quantity works just as well as quality.
On the other hand, I’ve been awake for about 10 minutes, and I only have a half a cup of coffee in me so I may not be making any sense.
[sub]I’m sure that quantity/quality comment will go over like a fart in church, but keep in mind, I’m not always serious[/sub]
Will somebody please make me stop typing now. Please!
Toast and jelly, now being served in the Batty kitchen.
Dude, dude, dude… these are the important things… oh yeah… you forgot Buffy… also important.
I am married tho… happily too, otherwise I’d be slobbering all over a Canadian, buffy-liking gamer. Boobs be damned. (gotta get them priorities straight)
BTW, LaurAnge I always keep an eye out for your posts. Besides the fact that you write well and have valuable things to add, you are a Montrealer… which immediately puts you up on the ‘cool’ pedestal.
'T ain’t such a low post count, Laur. I too tend not to say much.
BTW, I like your username. It makes me think of roast duckling. That’s a good thing, right?
I’m idiotboy…only in name, not in nature. If you really want to know why I call myself that, you’ll probly regret it…so to prevent further boredom, just call me Rick.
I too am a gamer, played just about everything from DnD to Donkey Kong, from TMNT to Tetris, from Scrabble to Super Mario. Did you know Lara Croft had a father? Her father was Pitfall Harry. Anyways…
I’m also a huge music buff. Apart from my wide genre-spanning collection of 5000+ MP3’s, I also play sax in a ska/punk band called JerkWaterJive. That’s right…I’m a rock star, baby!
Unfortunately, I don’t partake in much Buffy-watching…
Well, enough about me…let’s hear more about you! 
If your count is dreadfully low for 8 months than mine must be absolutely PATHETIC! 
Anyway, I’m Andy. I’m 27 years old in Tampa Florida. I work for a Telco selling DSL and play drums for a local punk band. Very nice to meet you
Don't have to be shy around this bunch. Take your time, take small steps. We don't bite. (unless you want us to)Well, I guess it’s just about time I put a post up on this thread, hunh LaurAnge.
See, I’m so sorry that you’re self concious about your post count, but you’ve got me back by making me come here to be hooked on the SDMB, and even before that on Buffy.
And to all of you, she’s not as shy as she seems, her boyfriend nicknamed her “Tiger”.
Make of that what you will.
Guys in uniform make her laugh as they scurry away from her 6’3" 235lbs BF.
Hee!
Pezpunk: another Andy? Cool. Good name.
Scott, may I ask what is new & improved about you? Is it because of Lauren? Inquiring minds wish to know, so that we can make snarky comments while discussing abdominal pains in pseudo-Elizabethan English.
6’3"?
235?
Pshaw. I gots me fighter/attack planes.
Check out the nicknames thread for an explanation. Its origin is pretty mundane, but I don’t mind being the Ron Popeil product of Scotts.
Hi LaurAnge!
18? Hmmmmmmmm. Ok; you’re old enough. Do you like old biplanes? 151? Cinnamon oil? Older flyboys?
Ignore Chiefy; He’s just a superannuated swabbie with delusions of adequacy…
“Here; put your foot there…ok, now put your hands on the cockpit coaming, step up and swing your leg over…good. Now sit down, and fasten the harness…good!”
“BTW, I like the way your cologne mingles with the castor oil! You’re gonna love this; she climbs like a homesick angel!”
“Tower, VB151 requests taxi and takeoff clearance…”
??? hmmm, putting my neck out on the line at the risk of rejection in front of all these people, thereby causing irrepairable psychological trauma, an aversion to chicken twisties, and romantic hopes beyond measure dashed, has resulted in a total of bup-kes, nuttin, zero, the absense of a response of any type, kind, shape, form or being, which leads me to believe that either the sassy and sultry LaurAnge is biding her time, assessing the numerous replies to her call of distress and waiting until such a time that an appropriate suitor presents himself, or that her amazingly active and consuming life has held her in a manner that doesn’t allow perusal of this thread at lesiure and that she is unaware of how popular and sought after she has become in recent days, giving me a sliver of a chance that I still may gain a small degree of her affection upon her return, …, here’s hoping!!
