I was once someone’s friend Steve… Now I’m just some jerk on a message board. Your call, Steven ---

My call? I haven’t given you my number! AND… I spell MY name Stephen. **Faerie Chat Mum** , I love _Multiplicity_. Source of many good quotes. One of my best friends greets me with that almost all the time. Sometimes is just the “hey Steve…”, but it’s always the third clone voice. 🙂 ---

A few rules to abide by: - You’ll have to leave your 1920s-style death ray at the door. - No dog-burning. - Say Hi to **Opal**. - Bring all the fresh ham§sters you can find. - Make fun of a weird chubby guy named **SPOOFE**. - Take pictures when **Francesca** flashes you so you can show them off at the next dopefest. - Spend every available moment reading and posting at the SDMB, but just short of getting fired. ---

I’m with **Scout**. Handsome, clever, English (presumably) accent. See, Steve? You’re already welcome and have women dying to meet you. Unless of course you’re young and/or happily married. Then we’ll chew you up and spit you out like the rest of them. See that pile of bones over there? They were all once young, happily married Steve’s. But don’t let that inhibit you. Really. 😃 ---

[size=1]I think **Francesca** is imagining this friend. If he was really a friend, he would have popped in by now and relieved her embarrassment at this naked bid for attention. :p[/size=1] ---

Thanks go out to Fran’s friend Steve for putting up with me at the Londope making lame excuses for being not very clever. And it’s true about the meerkat resemblance. ---

Very nice, too. Well no I haven’t really. It would have been rude, especially since I would have ended up walking the long way round otherwise. I always wondered how I managed to go to Charing Cross loadsa times but still miss Nelson’s column. ---
