With the 21st pick of the draft, I’m going for the best athlette available, someone with all the tools, someone with upside, potential, a full skill-set, someone with a canon for a leg and a rifle for an arm, someone who knows how to win, who can score points in this league, who can turn nothing into something, who has the mentals and the physicals, who… Err… Waitaminute, sorry, wrong thread.

You weren’t next on my list, but I think that pick’s safe for a round or two, so I’ll do this one now:

Sheesh, so far and no one’s picked Mega The Roo yet? Or Sue Dunhym? What the hell?

Well, they’re mine. Falcon, you’re coming with me, too. Right this way.

Through so many picks and no Shayna, nor Ruffian?

No techchick nor CanadaSue?

No phouka nor zyada?

No VogueVixen nor Sassy?

No VBlaise nor Seadiver?

Uhoh, I better stop. I am starting to feel like I am calling out the reindeer names.

Damn. That last line is gonna ruin any chance I might have had of picking up…

Pretty Ladies! Pay no attention to my measly words, look at my smile! It sparkles. Like diamond soup. Good for the soul. And the ears too.

ps:Now thats what I call damage control. Doh! Put down that antler type weapon!

After a mere four hours, and 13 names, these two…ahem…fine gentleman have…what, run out of names? Gotten bored? Can’t find anyone else either is attracted to??

:eek:

Take note, any lady who isn’t on this list–I think you can see what these two guys REALLY think of you.

On the other hand, all the males that hijacked this thread–well, WE love you!

JoeyHemlock, Silo, Myrr21, Homer, Amok, Pricciar…you guys will back me up on this, right??

Oh, and as to your lists…can’t speak for anyone else, but if I’m going to be willing to hijack Whammo’s thread to flirt with Michi, then I sure am not going to honor any covenants you two have made. Same goes for AudreyK, Scotticher and TroubleAgain…and…well…actually, everyone on both of your lists. Sorry.

I’m not looking for someone with a “canon” for a leg, because I’m not into religion. 😛

Having said that, I’m definitely looking for a lady who’s good in the clubhouse, a real go getter and overachiever, who grades out as an impact player. Someone who’s got home run potential every time she steps to the plate. A threat to go all the way every time she touches the…uh…ball. 😃

Well, I’m waiting on iampunha (it’s his turn), but my list still has a good half-dozen names on it, including some of the ones mentioned above.

No spoiling, though, I don’t want him to steal any! 🙂

We have honour to defend here, iampunha. It’s your turn!

Is this another gratuitous flirting thread? Ah, I see…a sexual roll call, of sorts. Well Falc, maybe you should start one of your own. I wonder if the guys would get as hot and bothered as the ladies? (That was a stupid question…)

OK, that’s it, I am insulted. DRY, I can see exactly what they think of me now.

Struuter, they would be too flattered if we started one like this of our own.

**wacky ninja** : well, right now the onus is on iampunha to give his next name.

I’ve been waiting for a while now to give mine. It’s his turn, though, so **don’t blame me**! 😛

Damn you, Montfort, for taking Cessandra!

BTW, everyone who has been listed by DRY and others is on my list. It is a LOOOOOONG list. I didn’t know if I’d be able to remmeber it so I emailed it to myself.

Sorry for being so late with this, but I was offline last night from 10:30 until now. So my pick is:

wacky ninja

ladies, I promise we will get to all of you, and not having been listed yet just means we’re both overwhelmed with the beauty on this board. I swear I came this close || to picking all of you in one turn.

Your turn, Monty.
