Just say the word DRY, and these chumps will be spitting out their teeth. Anything for you (or any other woman on the board).

Is there really a purpose to this listing stuff? Does this mean that if we’re not on your list you won’t talk to us? Isn’t that a little silly? Or, how 'bout you let us women decide? 😃

The purpose, OESGal, was simply because iampunha and I seemed to be fighting over the same women in various threads (yes, you were one of them). So, to make things fair, we’re splitting up our women.

So, if I want to flirt with/obsess over you, I do so knowing that you’re iampunha’s “property” (and I mean that in the most non-demeaning way possible). Likewise, he better lay his eyes/keyboard off Poysyn, Frannie, etc.

Since iampunha and I will probably both be at the Norfolk Dopefest, it seemed like a good thing to do in advance so a real fight didn’t break out then. 🙂

I’m with you on that one.

So y’all know, both of us would LOVE to pick all of you in one turn (something I considered doing but thought a rather weak effort) . . . it’s very hard to choose, and I’m basing my choices on who I think Montfort would list next as well a who I’d love to get to know better.

Being chosen first is, in my eyes, no different than being chosen last. I based my first pick on who I had been thinking of most recently. I base this pick on the fact that if I don’t pick her, Montfort probably will. Given the chance, I’d pick every one of you, but again that’s not feasible.

::deep breath:: That said, my next pick is sue duhnym.

And the purpose of us listing is sort of like a draft for a team . . . anyone would love to have Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw and Roger Staubach as their team QBs, but they have to pick one (I’d go with Montana myself). This way we know who’s fair game and who isn’t.

Damnit, I knew this was a bad idea on the boards. Monty, you up for doing this via email?

Ok, now that we’ve been picked, what are we going to do? Play kickball in 7th period gym class??

I’m in a giving mood, so I’ll allow you some visualization in your fantasy land…

</div>

Finally, iampunha, you got one off my list.

I guess we can continue this via e-mail ([michael@chanceofrain.com](mailto:michael@chanceofrain.com)). But, for now, I enjoy doing this publically, so that I can get reactions like I did when Frannie saw her name. 🙂

Next: soda

Montfort, now that I look back at what was actually said in here . . . Damn you for taking Cessandra and admn me for telling her to look when I thought you’d be quick and pick.

My pick is a toughie, because again I’m going with a “right now” thought. So . . . golfwidow.

</div>

Well, she was on my list and was begging for attention.

And, I had wandered over to her diary site earlier in the day, so who else could I have picked except Cessandra?

But, now, it’s Mega the Roo’s turn.

Oh, I was picked! I was picked! And I’m not even on the people pages! (I will be though. Soon. Or maybe not so soon. I need a scanner…) Thank you kindly, Montfort, I am indeed blushing.

So, **DRY** , mocking my spelling, eh?

Whoo! Yes, **soda** , I’m smitten with you, based on your [Ask the Swedish Chick](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=30818) thread. I’m afraid to know what you look like now, so maybe you should take your time getting a picture scanned. On second though, snail-mail it to me and I’ll scan it. 😉

We’re up to pages! Wow! 🆒

Hahaha, maybe. Let’s see if OESGal e-mails me before she moves south. 🙂

Add Ruffian to my list.

Okay . . . I’m calmed down now. Shayna. I pick Shayna. Nyah nyah nyah!

</div>

Hmm, I was considering Shayna, but we’ve discovered via e-mail that we may be related (unlikely, although we have the same last name), so I left her off my list just to be safe from the yuckiness factor.

Up next: techchick68

Stop reading over my shoulder! Techchick68 was next on my list . . . ::calming down:: for my next pick, I’m going to call on someone on whom I used to have the world’s officially largest crush: Medea’s Child. You haven’t seen all the pics of her I have . . . ask her for a shot of her in B&W. I swear you will never be the same.

(They’re insane, right?) Oh, and I’d keep you **both** in for recess if it weren’t summer vacation. Your bad luck. Ah, well. Um, one more thing boys: It’s “Frann **ie** ,” not “Frann **y**.” I noticed that you misspelled it a couple of times. Thanks so much for remembering this in the future. (They’re very sweet though, don’t you think? Thank goodness my ego needs no stroking or I’d feel sorta crappy about the fact that they think I need to be in their li’l thread that… oh, never mind.)
