I’m not sure that they’re drunk, but I really do believe they are nuts. Just remember, you heard it here first. It’ll all come out. (We really must handle them with care though, you know?) 
Well, I’m just talking about who they haven’t selected * yet; * getting into the ordering of their choices would be a long, involved, and painful process. And it would surely get me in trouble with someone… 
I’ll give them two more choices each, and if they still need a smacking upside the head, well, you can bet they’re gonna get it.
Yeah, you wouldn’t wanna do that. Silly you!
Yes, but what worries me is the gossip that you swing both ways.
::fleeing::
Well, I just hate to see fine, honourable ladies such as your self being so blatantly disrespected.
**
You should: Turnabout is fair play…
However, I have to warn you two ladies that I’m going to be tremendously hurt by whichever one of you two don’t choose me, since you are both favorites of mine.
Hell, I’ll even let you pick first…
I mean, there are so many FINE ladies on the board, that, even if I should pick after all the rest of you guys, I’m gonna come up with a winner.
Furthermore, I’d HAPPILY limit myself to one fine lady. I’m not looking for a harem, just a simple, monogamous, LOVING relationship.
[sub]psst…JoeyHemlock, Silo, Myrr21, Homer, Amok, Pricciar, just say a few things along those lines, add a quote from Shakespeare, and we’re in like Flynn:[/sub]

(Betcha y’all never thought to see a Cecil’s column link in this thread!)
Ladies, isn’t this a lot better than being in Montfort’s or Iampunha’s harem?
Oh, and OESgal:
I defer to the superior judgment of the fairer sex.
[sub]if all this doesn’t get me picked by one of the fine ladies, I think I’ll off meself[/sub]
Baseball hijack?
There’s NO SUCH THING as a baseball hijack.
NO, I take that back!
Flirting–nay, that sounds too tacky for a lovely lady of your most cultured, most pure, most aristocratic upbringing–let’s call it courtship.
Courtship with a fine lady of your most delicate sensibilities is indeed one of the rare things which must take precedence to a baseball hijack, as important as America’s National Pastime can be. [sub]Aside: God, I can’t believe I’m actually saying ANYTHING is more important than baseball[/sub]
And with that in mind, I confess that no, I did not see the most gifted Omar tonight, so busy I was in composing paens to your loveliness, to your wonderfulness, nay, to your divinity. But, please, sit beside me and tell me of Omar’s excellent performance. I am sure that your gifted, honeysweet tongue and mellifluous voice can do justice to the Great Vizquel.
So…how am I doing?
Sigh–the names were meant to be interchangeable *to the other guys in this thread, meaning that I was using this as an example to OTHERS, regardless of who their favorite might be, of the way to woo a woman—nay, a LADY! But YOU are my favorite–how could I not love a lady with such discerning good taste in sports?
Do not fret, sweet Frannie. Or, as Shakespeare wrote:
“Teach not thy lips such scorn, for they were made
For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”
–Richard III, Act 1, scene ii
Stay by me awhile, and I will regale you with the story of C.C. Sabathia*, who may, at a future point, lead the Indians to the promised land.

So, who else wants a love letter from DRY ? Anyone? Bueller?
I would apologize for the hijack, but as they say:
“Being in love means never having to say you’re sorry”
You wish! You were thinking I might fulfill some adolescent fantasies for ya, huh? Nice try, bub!
Yes, you better flee, boy! (Considering that you are more than a decade older than me is irrelevant in my calling you “boy”.)
FTR, folks, I’m not a lesbian, nor even bi.
DRY, on the other hand… From what I hear, he’ll try anything once…twice…ten times…
Fickle man- and to think I had faith in you!
Scotti
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… you wore me down! Fine, I’m not angry anymore. This is not fair. This is not fair. Not fair. Nope. 
Oh, oh, oh! Lemme tell you what Omar did while you were busy… um… well, while you were busy with whatever it was you were doing.
Well, Mr. Vizquel doesn’t even need a glove. He snatches up the ball with whichever (should that be “whatever”?) hand is closest. He tosses/flips/throws to second. He sure makes Robbie Alomar look good. Without Omar, where would Robbie be? I’d like to see some of those other hotshot shortstops do what he does without a glove! ::Sigh::
Oh, and then, he ended the game by catching a popup for the third out. But did Omar simply “catch” the ball? Oh no! Not Omar! That wouldn’t be any fun! “What did Omar do, Fran,” you ask? Well, lemme tell you: He gazed up into the evening sky, sorta “smirked” as the ball began its descent, rolled his eyes and sorta shook his head, allowed it to drop behind him, caught it “blindly” behind his back, then flipped it back up and caught it again, the entire time sporting the most wonderful sh*t-eating grin for the camera. Wait… maybe that was for me! Gosh, I love baseball (as long as I don’t look at the standings).
OK, tell me about C.C. Sabathia. He’s a lefty down in Akron, right? Heaven knows we need pitching. OK, now make it good.
Keep it up girls!! Did you read what he wrote?? “Toss in some Shakespeare and you’ll be in like Flynn??!” JEEZ!!!
So Myrr, what lucky ladies were you referring to?
iampunha, where are you???
Lay one on me, sugar pie, and if it’s any good, then maybe I’ll forgive your Flynn comment!!
DRY, honey…you know I melt when you start quoting! You will always be on top of my list;)
Well, to state the obvious, I haven’t seen your name on either of these lists, where it rightfully belongs long ago…
…and I’m sure there’s some other, less glaring, errors.
These two need a good smack upside the head, and a lot less liquor.
Very entertaining, lurking in this thread, very, very entertaining.
Sorry I was gone so long. I am getting less and less time on my home PC these days. I blame . . . well, the rest of my family. Anyway, my two picks are Hamadryad and ssskuggiii.
BTW, this is b/w Monty and myself. Please try to keep hijacks to a minimum, or start your own thread. Thanks.
Montfort, you sweetie, I’m flattered.
Heck, Shakespeare goes right over my head anyway. Baseball, on the other hand, goes right to my heart.
Dry, well, I don’t really believe in this picking stuff, but you seem like a really nice guy:D I think that is all that is needed don’t you?
