[Crunchy Frog](http://eurodopers.homestead.com/Crunchy.html) wants us to help him pick out which picture to put on the people pages. In one of them he’s wearing pants, in the other he’s not…let us know which you prefer.

Oooh, and you gotta go look at the pics, too, that’s part of the whole voting dealio. Unlike the pres. elections, we want _informed_ voters!

The second picture is ok, but the first picture has a tattoo.  
Chicks love tattoos.

The one on the right. I presume it’s the one in which he’s not wearing pants, because we can’t see his hands and he’s smiling.

I like the one where his face is showing more. And I’m a chick and I don’t dig tatoos. Why gild the lily, that’s my motto.

Then again, I’m not turned-off by tatoos, except if they are hideous.

And Cubby, you are not supposed to vote until I tell you how to vote. While beth is sleeping, I’m in charge. 😃

Thanks, tatertot! You’re a sweetie!

Tater put those on her site for me, since I can’t put them on the web from work. (And tater, not to bitch or anything cuz I really appreciate it, but the pics are labeled.)

So which one goes to the People Pages? Pants or no pants?

Sorry, tater, as I said in the email, I’m coming down with something and heavily medicated.

Crunchy looks evil in the first pic (and not because of the tattoo, which I like). He looks…yummier, err, more crunchy in the second pic. Also, happier, so I assume the pants are off. I vote for the second one.

Is that why you forgot to wear your pants? 😉

Who says I forgot?

And yes, the pic of me smiling is the one without pants.

So I’m assuming Twisty votes for ‘with pants’

scratch, tater, and porcupine (and Tally-Ho, in an email) vote for me ‘without pants’

Spint Norman just seems to be relieved the pics don’t show me from the waist down.

I was all set to look at Crunchy Frog testicles.  
Yeeesh…it sounds like I’d need a condiment with that.

I like the mysterious grin in the second photo.😉

Heh, I wonder if Snormy splurted (a beverage, out the mouth)when he saw my thread title…He gets alarmed opening anything from me with even a slightly suggestive title.

And I told you the smiley one was the best. You cute.

Evil in the first pic? I think that grin in the second pic makes me look like I’m up to something. I think I looked bored in the first pic. BTW, Honesty took these to use up the end of a roll of film, she just snapped the pic of me for that first pic and the second one she told me to take my eyes away from the TV and smile.

Just for everyone’s peace of mind, I am fully dressed in both pics.

I think he’s just adorable without pants…

No, I’m not drooling…

Really, I’m not…

Actually I’m relieved because tater stayed at my place duringHamdope - and I know her tendency to take photos of anything that moves - and I know her wicked sense of humour as well. IOW, I was mentally preparing to be featured here.

Oh, I vote for the pant-less version, by all means. (Gotta get posted to the people pages one of these days).

Now I’m splurting! Hehehehe…I certainly had the opportunity, didn’t I?

Get y’all’s minds out of the gutter, folks! It’s not what you think.

And, Snormy, I took even more pictures the other night…\<—dats a hint for people I promised hints to.

Ahh, tater, you’re ruining my chances of gaining a bit of street cred here. Ah well, I presume you have a reputation to uphold.

That’s a hint ? Hmmmmm… Nope, don’t get it. Which doesn’t say a lot for it, hint-wise, as I believe I’m privy to the entire Evil Scheme…

See, I’ve set up the hints so that only somebody whose mind works exactly like mine would be able to figure it out. So, even if my suprise is ruined, I will have found a soul-mate. It’s a win-win situation!

Now, let’s continue with the gawking at Crunchy and voting. 🙂
