Hmmm. :::suspicious squint:::

I’m grateful just to be _remembered_, so no slam, Anti Pro, but am somewhat puzzled.

Hey, where’s MrKnowItAll? Anybody seen him around? Whaddya mean, the weenie was last seen fleeing the building wearing a fake nose and sunglasses?!

Drat. Obscurity sucks. I _finally_ post a picture (accompanied by a 5’ pink plastic penis, no less!) and the thread sinks like a rock.

I want to be in a sham marriage with matt\_mcl. We’ve been flirting for years. It’s unavoidable.

Yah hoo Roo! Wow, you’re really purty, and you live in my city. Now I have someone to stalk :D. Actually, I’m just complaining here cuz again I’ve gone unnoticed. Once more and there will be consequences _cracks knuckles_.

BTW, I’m tall, red-headed, bucktoothed (it’ll be gone by the time I’m 18 ;)) and thin.

This topic is becoming a mating fest…which is alright, although the original idea was a mild abstract concept of matching. Like you might match me with David B. because we both have very high post counts. No, no, Im not into the gay thing, its just an abstract idea 🙂

Well, Whammo thought that we would be a good match based on our posting styles, and he even asked me to marry him because of that.

Hm…match me up as well.

I’m still getting a feel for everyone’s personalities, so I’m afraid I can’t match anyone else up. Or I’d try. 😃
