[QUOTE=twickster] Here – we’ve got mini-pizzas, pitas and spinach dip, Vienna sausages, and cheez in a can and Triscuits. What looks good? [/QUOTE] Is it frozen pizza, homemade or delivery? Oh, and have you got any doughnuts? Or even donuts? I’ve had craving for one or two…dozen! Especially the sprinkled one. I love doughnuts. Mmmm…forbidden doughnut. Mmmm…donut sprinkle. ---

Why is that person up there repeating parts of what I say? Is that girl some kind of crazy nut psycho person? :eek: No one warned me that there were gonna be psycho killers hosting this party. ---

[QUOTE=Kat] No one warned me that there were gonna be psycho killers hosting this party. [/QUOTE] The moderator PM’ed me and told me that my quirk was to behave like a parrot. 😉 [QUOTE=Priceguy] Did you? So you have a prosthesis? I couldn’t tell, you move so dexterously. What did your father’s company do, and when did you leave that line of work? [/QUOTE] Thank you, I try not to let it show. My father’s company made cogs. What seems to be your interest? [QUOTE=Priceguy] No. I was stationed in Germany. No combat going on there for quite a while now. [/QUOTE] Good to hear you stayed safe. Hearing nice stories tend to warm human hearts like yours and mine. Wouldn’t you agree? ---

I only ate one! And it was a little one, too. Now, if it’d been the nuts then yeah, I probably would have ended up eating them all – but I couldn’t find a nutcracker. ☹ ---

I’m am predicting a guess on **Priceguy** sometime this morning. I’m just reviewing right now. (Jaws music for\*\* Priceguy\*\*!) ---

[host stuff] Okay, I talk a big game, but after rereading everything I don’t think I can get a guess that is very different from **twickster’s**. He’s very interested in carrying on a conversation. He’s very complimentary as well as interested no matter who or what the subject is. He asks at least one question, usually at the end of his posts, and it’s always asked in a manner of personal interests. He’s not a robot. He doesn’t suffer from any weird amnesia. I do want to guess at least one person this morning, but I’ll wait to hear any ideas from the other hosts before guessing **Priceguy**. [/hs] ---

[QUOTE=bbs2k] Do you have any brothers? [/QUOTE] Yes. Identical triplets. I didn’t learn about them until I was fifteen. They play West End musicals, which is handy as they can understudy each other. Also they hold the school cross-country record through a highly predictable piece of cheating. 😉 Oddly enough, they all share the same phobia: an uncontrollable fear of aardvarks. That’s a shame, as it means I can’t visit much. ---

The only thing I can think is that the compliments are secondary – a way of getting people to talk – is he trying to assemble dossiers on people, or something? **Malacandra** – I’m thinking Munchausen syndrome – he just _makes shit up_ – but that doesn’t seem specific enough. ETA a couple of questions – **PriceGuy** – would it help you to see a copy of my resume? **Malacandra** – if you could give one piece of advice to someone going into your line of business, what would it be? ---

[QUOTE=twickster] **Malacandra** – if you could give one piece of advice to someone going into your line of business, what would it be? [/QUOTE] “Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” Words to live by - I’ve found them so all my life. Never owed anyone a penny, never lent one either. ---

You know what, I was agreeing with the whole croc hunter thing, until he described what he was wearing, and now all the things seem to get more bizarre with little connection of the dots that I can see. I said I wanted to guess something this morning, let’s at least rule out an option. Official guess: **Malacandra – Munchausen syndrome – he just makes shit up.** ---

Also, I wanted to guess on **Blaster Master** , but all my leads had at least one post where he violated my guess and wasn’t “bopped”. Must have an apostrophe per post, always messes up present vs. future/past tense at least once, not allowed to use proper infinitives, always posts subjects in a gluttonous fashion; nothing seems to stick… yet. 🙂 ---

What about your personal life, if you don’t mind me asking? [/QUOTE] Sorry **Priceguy** , another guest had my attention shortly. I know my life sounds odd, but I can assure you that there is nothing interesting about a cog factory. Which is why I wanted to try something new and different. Currently I’m just dating, I just broke up with a long term relationship, but that isn’t a very good host subject. How about yourself? You must be a catch!
