I’d like to see the faces of the reception desk staff as Arnold Winkelried and Myron Van Horowitzski checked in. The Horowitzski-Winkelried’s - “would you like a porter to help you carry that name ?” ---

I admit that I don’t know you all that well, but I didn’t think you are all that abrasive. We have some differing attitudes to be sure: I’m a bit more sympathetic to people who mourn, even “excessively”, over their pets, and I have to admit that I can’t relate to being “bi” (but at the same time I don’t pass judmgent on it, or them), but I certainly hadn’t considered you unlikeable, or hard to get along with. So…you might lose that bet. \*\* > [@](#): > > Besides which, I’m pretty sure I’m the only chick on here with whom DRY **hasn’t** flirted, so I’m doing something wrong in that area as well. > \*\* Here, you’re way off. There are **plenty** of females that I haven’t flirted with (it just seems otherwise). To be perfectly serious for a moment, I really don’t cyberflirt with people I haven’t had previous interaction with. It’s true that all I need is the smallest of…um…openings, to do so (insert “opening” double entendre here), but I’m generally not of the \* "Hello, there. I don’t know you, but how are you doing? And, by the way, wanna f_ck?"_ school. And yet, you know, I almost did say something to you once, in a thread that we’d both posted to. I was going to say something like: “Did you know my user name is entirely contained in the middle of yours? And boy, would I like to get in the middle of you.” But I really didn’t want to say something that outrageous to someone I didn’t know. I shudder to think what might have transpired if you didn’t think that amusing. \*\* > [@](#): > > And I refuse to make any crush or laminated lists, so that automatically leaves me off of his.

As to the OP, I’m not really sure who I’d post for myself: Tatertot, Scotticher, Michi, Grace are people who I have stuff in common with and like, but I daresay my posting style isn’t like any of them. I feel like Tom Servo (“Nobody gets me baby, I’m like the wind”) See? I don’t always quote Shakespeare! ---

Now there’s definitely something we can agree on.

Taterot would be a cool name, it’s got that punkish air to it. Tee hee, at least you didn’t point out “childreen” in my first post. I feel I must point out to my fellow Lady Dopers that **S. Norman** is the undiscovered secret hunk of the SDMB. Wow. He looks like “The Greatest American Hero” guy but better. I’ll bet he could make the right lady “walk on air”. Plus, he has really cool hobbies and the most devestatingly charming accent. Think of him as the stealth **Coldfire**. And please, please do come to Dublin, we’ll have the greatest time. I’ll bring the banana juice for the beer! ---

I was at Busch Gardens today, and there was a group of Australians sitting behind me in the restaurant. All I could focus on was the sounds of their voices. But darn it all to hell, the Aussie guys were sitting with Aussie GIRLS, and had no interest in looking my way. ☹ ---
