[QUOTE=Taber] Sure, and here’s a beer for\*\* Diomedes\*\*, you two should talk. He could tell you all about his adventures, and I’m sure you’d respond with the appropriate amount of excitement and questions, you two would have a nice complementary relationship. [/QUOTE] I think you’re right, those two seem made for each other. I may head over to the karaoke room though, I wanna hear Twickster sing again. ---

The party lingers on, guests! Talk amongst yourselves… Ok other hosts…here’s what I’m thinking on: \*\* Purplkid\_caterer\*\* has something to do with punctuation or question marks. She was going pretty good with 3 different punctuation marks per post but the last one…not so much 🙂 **Diomedes** …man I dunno, he was all Dr. Livingston for a while but then he threw in the jet fighter stuff. Maybe he’s a “choose your own adventure” hero? 🙂 I thought **MHaye** was Tony the Tiger for a minute then I thought maybe he was trying to sell us cereal now I think he’s just an ad man. Anyone else? I gotta run - **twickster** , who’s not even drunk, is wreaking havoc on the karaoke machine! And she acted all uninterested 🙂 ---

Maybe he’s a “choose your own adventure” hero? 🙂 [/QUOTE] Let me tell you, young lady… when you’re scouring the edges of Baja Californialooking for the Lost Gold of Montezuma, there’s no room for ‘choosing your own adventure’! There’s only trials, travails, and glory! Or a quick death at the hands of one of those poisonous Mexican spiders… ---

[QUOTE=ZipperJJ] **Kerrigan** , what is your line of work? [/QUOTE] Oh, dear me, it looks like I went and fell asleep in the guest room for a few hours. Well hey, all that means is that it will be daylight before _I_ have to bow out of this party!! My line of work? Well, it involves working with doctors, and often seeing people naked. Sick people, anyway. They’re not as exciting as normal nekkid people, you know? ---
