Irishman, I’ve noticed that all the really shy guys ASK people to flirt with them.  
But if you can flirt with one of those long, slow drawls…

Just hopped on over to say Hi! I’m also a newbie, even though I’ve been given a lot of help. Also keep an eye out for my husband slythe, he will give you a lot of advise, grief, laughter, and some of it is really good.

* * *

I have abandoned my search for truth, and am now looking for a good fantasy.

I’ve got that movie, too. The Seduction (1982) with Michael Sarrazin, Andrew Stevens, Vince Edwards

Hot, endless, full frontal skinny dipping, often seen from the stalker’s point of view, and… um… who’s been drooling on my keyboard?

Um, well, yes, but it was a list of instructions, and those are usually posted as commands, not requests. 😉

However, just for you, would ya please flirt with me? Purty please, with maple syrup and powdered sugar on top?

Thanks, elelle! I was beginning to feel, oh I dunno, lonely and overlooked. Especially by Wally ::slit-eyed glare:: who seems to have an unhealthy interest in Unca Cece’s unclad form.

::koff::

Nonetheless, cordial welcomes and a drink for the new inmate in the asylum: Dragonlady! To celebrate your initiation, I’ll even pay for the drink!

This may not sound like a big deal, but it’s risky getting out your wallet around these people. The amounts spent on bar tabs and bail would bankrupt many small nations.

Welcome!

Veb  
(“loathed trinket” would make a good sig, hmmm? Unless Wally would like to come up with a better one and crawl a few centimeters out of the doghouse.)

:: sigh :: Wally always forgets about me (sniffle).

Anyhoo, welcome to the board. Watch where you step, there are a lot of posters who engage in Jello wrestling matches and hot oil massages, and it gets mighty slippery in here.

It’s true. Everybody is thoroughly fed up with Veb.

Intelligent insights and elegant writing is passe, Veb.

Find another shtick.

## I’m thinking some of these folks were pretty slippery to begin with!!

It IS taking longer than I thought!

It was the purty please that got me, Darlin’.  
Consider yourself “winked”!!

Every time I keep skipping over a thread thinking I will have nothing to add to it, I end up mentioned in it.

That’s not a bad thing. I may start skipping over every thread in a vain attempt to get as much cross-thread promotion as possible.

And DragonLady, have fun on the board. You seem to have a veritable who’s who of members posting on your first thread. Not too shabby.

* * *

Coming soon to a sig line near you!  
Relive the mundane highs, the flaming lows, and the pointless posts in between. Announcing the debut of the best of Mullinator.

Because it’s not just a sig, it’s an adventure.

Dragonlady’s already Ok in my book. She stepped right up and offered to “console” me after I was lamenting not having been able to sleep with cristi. So,…I feel so alone…\<sob\>.

Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.

Relax, I’m not as Dave as I look!- A Wallified sig!

**dragonlady:** As the proverbial woman says, “hang on to your hat; we may end up miles from here.” 😃

**Shadowfox:** Don’t feel bad, Shadowfox, Wally forgot me too; I don’t even have a genuine Wally sig… Hell, unless I’m pissing off a libertarian, I have to threaten to _leave_ to get any attention around here! :rolleyes: I guess that’s the price I pay for being a gentleman. As the master said, “great spirits are always encounter opposition from mediocre minds.” 😉

**Narile:** “Closet exhibitionist” indeed! _snork_

Dr. Einstein probably used proper grammar when he said, “great spirits always encounter opposition from mediocre minds.”
