I’m…uh…flattered? No really, thanks boys. Sorry though Montfort, you can’t have me…I’m partial to Llamas of Death. Unless…how well can you spit? ( _DL_ 😉 ) ---

**DRY** : I wasn’t offended. I was mostly amused, then _very slightly_ irritated, but that was just me being greedy. I was stuck waiting on iampunha to post, and you weren’t, so you were allowed to run loose on “our” thread. Of course, I was limited by our own rules, and you were simply limited by the rules of the SBMB. And, I’m flattered that a post dedicated to myself (well, my name **is** in the title!) has gotten (as of 9am Friday morning) 142 posts and over 1000 views. I honestly didn’t think we’d be going on this long – I figured that iampunha and I had maybe five or so ladies we’ve been “overlapping” on in various threads (yes, we did hijack them, I’m 100% guilty) that we needed to “sort out.” This monster grew too big. Finally, DRY, I wasn’t flamed nor insulted. I realise the flexible properties in flirting and posting. Fine job, sir (just lay off my women :p). **Scotticher** : Like I’ve said, the goal **wasn’t** to divide up all of the lovelies of the SDMB. Just a few. I’ll be honest – I don’t know you. Feel free to let me know you and you’ll show up on a list. **ssskuggiii** : Alas, sadly, those are the rules. You’re his, and I can’t claim you without his consultation. He doesn’t have to know, though. 😉 **Ruffian** : I’m rather adept at spitting. But, I’m more partial to flirt-partners who swallow, rather than spitting. ---

DRY, I wasn’t offended in the least. I just got a bit tired of seeing lots of responses and none of them directed at me. Anyway, my next pick, as Montfort obviously hasn’t left yet, is . . . Scotticher, who I would have chosen sooner, but I don’t know her that well. Heck, anyone who’s complained so far has been chosen rather quickly. And ssskuggiii, feel free to flirt with Monty. You’re a big girl, you can do what you want. ---

And let’s face facts: a good number of those on the people pages aren’t regular posters. You have, in fact, told me that you liked my pic, and if I remember correctly I’m on your crush list. I’m glad it pleases you to see me 🙂 ---

[QUOTE] \*Originally posted by DRY \* Just write a self effacing, mildly pitying post, even praising the other guy (women love classy guys). Use lots of sad smileys. For example: \ [QUOTE] Yeah, except people have gotten tired of that from me . . . you may have noticed I’m normally in one of four moods when posting: happy, sad, angry or really unhappy. Those are each extremes. Posting pity stuff gets me unhappy, which is not a fun place to be. [QUOTE] \*Originally posted by DRY \* Now if **THAT** doesn’t get a whole slew of ladies who can’t wait to flirt with you and console (and maybe do more with) you, NOTHING will. [QUOTE] But, see, I don’t want people to flirt with me out of pity. I’ve gotten that and interpreted it incorrectly, which isn’t any fun for either person. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by DRY \* > Oh, and finally, if you guys are both such big baseball fans, why haven’t we seen a batting order and starting rotation for each of your “teams” yet? 🙂 \*\* Batting order? Hel-LO, friend! Then I’d have to hold tryouts and see who had baseball talent, who was fast (as in ran fast), who was stronger, and all that sort of thing. I’m not even going to speculate on that unless some of these ladies have played baseball or softball. As for my [espn.com](http://espn.com) team . . . C Mike Piazza, NYM 1B Jason Giambi, Oak 2B Delino DeShields, Bal 3B Tony Batista, Tor SS Rafael Furcal, Atl LF Johnny Damon, KC CF Jim Edmonds, StL RF Sammy Sosa, ChC DH Frank Thomas, ChW. This game doesn’t allow for starting rotations, but if I had one it’d probably be baldwin, ankiel, maddux and alfonseca. ---
