**Manny** , I’ve looked at some pictures from the NYC Dopefest. Unless those pics were grossly miscaptioned, ain’t you, to use the PC term, a chick? Sua ---

So you’re saying [the person who has this (masculine) name](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/profiles/manhattan.html) looks like a chick . Veeerrry interesting … [note: I’m editing my IRL name out of this thread. I’m trying to keep them from appearing together too often. -manhattan] [Edited by manhattan on 09-07-2000 at 02:56 PM] ---

According to the page that that link took me to, he looks like a rectangle with the words “The Teeming Millions” written on it. But I can vouch for the fact that he does not look like a chick, because I have had the pleasure of meeting the handsome, masculine, and dare I say…sexy Manhattan on several occasions. (Oh yeah, baby! I am sooooo moderator-whipped!) [note: Did it here, too. And how bummed am I that **Green Bean** is married? -manhattan] [Edited by manhattan on 09-07-2000 at 02:57 PM] ---

You’re certainly welcome to caustic Alphagene, as long as I get contumelious. (Yeah, I had to use the thesauraus for that one.) ---

Second _mea culpa_ in two days to yas, **Manny**. I was looking at the NYC Dopefest pictures, and thought you were **Sax** and vice versa. Too bad, you were a cute chick. 😉 Sua ---

Cantankerous? Caustic? Contumelious? Nuts. You three are too **cuddly** and **charismatic** and **captivating** for adjectives like that. – Uke, who’s met em, and who don’t need to show you no steenking thesauruses ---
