Or maybe we should just wrap it up. I really didn’t imagine picking more than 10 or 15. But, as long as there are female Dopers, and if they have pictures or imaginative postings, I’ll have names for my list.

For now, I’ll go with Girl Next Door.

This one shouldn’t have made it past page one: Drain Bead. I must have started in the Es or something . . .

Haha, I was toying with asking Satan’s permission for her. 🙂

After reading her story in MPSIMS, I gotta go with Anthracite next.

Drain Bead is a grown woman and as such doesn’t need anyone’s permission!

Anyway, going with another who shouldn’t have made it past page one (if not for the hijacks!): Psycat90.

No, I guess she’s a grown woman, and all that. But, I **am** going to be sharing a room at the Norfolk Dopefest with Satan, so I thought it would be better.

And, with her post that raised my imagination by mentioning “mosquito bites” immediately causes little\*bit to join my list.

Okay. BTW, L\*B, I’m still waiting for a picture of you. Hmph.

Anyway, my next pick is . . . :: drumroll :: Diane.

You can’t have her … she’s mine, remember?

So, send the pic my way, little\*bit. 🙂

And, since I’m amazed she hasn’t been picked yet, it’s **Persephone** ’s turn to join my illustrious harem.

Pardon me. I’d rather not be in a harem, thank you.

Harem is merely a colloquialism, mind you.

And, I’m surely no baseball hater. Just those pesky Indians (and Yankees, and Braves, and Mets, and…).

Persephone was actually NEXT on my list. Grrr. Anyway.

My next pick is a tricky one . . . I’m going with purplebear and hoping she’ll bring her daughter along for the ride 🙂

Frannie, I LOVE baseball! What on EARTH makes you think I don’t? Hell, I suck at it, and I love it so much I played three years in high school! I leap at the chance to watch a game, even when I don’t care about the teams!

Honestly . . . how could you? (only slightly serious).

Beadalin (I don’t know which of the three she is, but I don’t care).

And, after 2pm tomorrow, I’m going to be gone probably for the weekend. Shall we end this tonight?

If you want, we can postpone further pics until Monday. Just say the word and I’ll resurrect the thread Monday.

Ummm…To the extent you guys are truly offended, I apologize. I’m dead serious here. (I think these complaints are somewhat tongue in cheek, but Iampunha’s comment about promising someone they’d be on page 2 is something I actually find a little bit alarming, because of the potential for actual hurt feelings by such a thread as this)

But fairness compels me to add:

1. You guys yourselves hijacked several other threads, most recently the “bra cup size thread”. No one complained–most of us thought it was funny. (At least, I did. And yes, I hijacked that same thread.) That hijacking was considerably more blatant–here, I and others are hijacking a thread based on flirting by…flirting.

2. I suspect that my hijacking, as well as some of the others (notably Myrr 21 and the women that responded to our posts) caused this thread to get:

–more views  
–more responses  
–bumped up to the top of MPSIMS MANY more times than if it had been just the two of you posting

I really suspect that what we did was get this thread far, far more attention than if it were never hijacked. What we did probably INCREASED interest in the thread, you ingrates! \<—(tongue in cheek)

In all honesty, if I started a thread like this, I’d **WELCOME** it being hijacked and having lots of people comment on it, unless I got **seriously** flamed in the process (and everything **I** said to that effect was firmly was tongue in cheek). Most people I know who start theradI don’t start a lot of threads (I only do so on behalf of the friends I have here), but I know that people who like starting threads are often REALLY pleased when the thread gets a ton of responses and posts.

I don’t get it. I really don’t. I guess I’m missing something here. Can someone tell me what it is?

And for those of you ladies that were so kind to me here:

“I thank you for your voices: thank you:  
Your most sweet voices”  
–Coriolanus, Act 2, Scene i

and I’ll see y’all in the other thread:

This should read:

**Most people I know who start threads are often REALLY pleased when the thread gets a ton of responses and posts**

I think y’all see the point I was trying to make.

Well, all I know is that no one chose me.

What am I, chopped haggis?

And don’t pull out that sorry excuse about me not having a picture posted, either.

Apparently my sterling qualities aren’t enough to win a place on your list, or other your list, either.

Fortunately, I hear that pipefitter and Danielmyhonintheden are giving out backrubs elsewhere. I shall just have to take my wounded pride over there, and get in line.

(Off in a huff)
