[QUOTE=twickster]  
Dunno where **bbs2k** is, and am a little afraid to inquire, lest he tell me in graphic detail what he and his various body parts are up to.  
[/QUOTE]  
Does he usually do that? Any anecdotes you could share?

(OOG: Sorry, but school and work have sucked up a good chunk of my free time. I’ve left my notes for the other hosts. I’ll definitely look through again and try guessing the quirks tonight after work.)

**OCS** , before I shove Thor’s sparking phallus up your bum would you care to tell me your opinion on the 08’ election upcoming?

Sorry for the details.

Wicked angel? Like that avatar you had for a bit on proboards?  
Oh, hi. I’m in the game now. Or rather I was given the quirk at the beginning and told I could join if I wanted to. Thank you, **Dio** for modding it.  
[/QUOTE]

You mean the girl with wings, Mafia Deity? That wasn’t an angel. She had fairy wings, not angel wings. So, she’s a fairy.

A psychotic fairy with purple hair, a halo and a baseball bat, but a fairy nonetheless.

[QUOTE=bbs2k]  
**Kat** , I like what you’re wearing. Where did you get it?  
[/QUOTE]

I got most of it at a little tiny store called Target. Except for the shirt, which I got for walking 3.1 miles around the streets of Chicago. Looks, pretty ribbon thingies!

Er…ignore the salsa stain.

Hey, what TV station are you named after?

You’re not the only person playing. Plus, we don’t have to use the whole week – it’s boring for everyone if people, esp. the hosts, just disappear for long stretches. There’s no penalty on you for posting whatever you want to in this thread, as long as you’re not making Official Guesses – ask people questions, talk to your fellow hosts, whatever.

[/QUOTE]  
I’d better anther your quethtion, letht I wake up thor. :eek:

I would probably vote for Obama first out of all the available, reasonably likely candidates. If you restricted me to the Republican candidates, I’d go for Ron Paul. I think he would provide a nice shake-up to the system, yet would find himself unable to get any of his _really_ nutty ideas (Gold standard? Dissolving the FBI??) past Congress.

In all honesty, though, I don’t feel 100% great about any of the candidates. I’m hoping one of the Democrats will really separate him- or herself from the pack during the campaign and (especially) debates. Either Clinton, Obama or Edwards could do a lot to assuage my concerns about them by coming off knowledgeable, honest and charismatic.

(Host notes: As far as Kat’s quirk goes, is there anything else the players she mentions or quotes in her posts have in common? I have an inkling, but I need to keep poking.

Also, I think OneCentStamp just violated his quirk again in his last post - other than the two posts he got mod-thumped for, he has never used any conjugation of the verb _to be_, but I’d need to reread him again to use an official guess.

Malcandra’s answers probably need to be crosschecked with Google or something. I’m not narrowing him down at all.

Along the lines of unscrupulous salesman, diggitcamara might be running a pyramid scheme.)

**featherlou** , tell me more about yourself.

**Kat** , what’s your favorite category of the SDMB?

**Malacandra** , what do you do for a living?

**Diggitcamara** , does your company have a catalogue?

**Priceguy** , do you have a lot of acquaintances?

**OneCentStamp** , are you aware of how you come across to other people?

**Idle Thoughts** , have you had any of the punch yet?

**fluiddrid** , would you like to join us in a game of charades?

**Rysto** , welcome! Feel free to mingle with the other guests.
