Ummm… is it a little ‘chilly’ in here, Pizzle? Oops, sorry. Didn’t mean that to come out that way. 😉

Hey, Drop! Get back in here! Where do you think you’re going? I need help in here. And, it’s alright, I won’t make you take off your clothes if you don’t want to. \<would it help if I begged?\> 😉  
\<Oops! Another stray thought rears it’s head!\>

There you are, dpr! YEP! You started this, the least you can do is come play…I mean _participate_ in this game. 😃  
I’ll even do the oiling if you want. 🙂

**WHAT??** His _back_. I was talking about his back. Get your minds out of the gutters people! Ok, then; the bedroom. 😛

Thanks, guys for the hugs.

BAM!!

The door from the bathroom in the BearPad is kicked open. All movement stops. Heads swivel. The tinkle of ice in tequila is the only sound.

Standing with hands on hips, backlit by a 50-watt bulb, the oiled, naked, Adonis-like silhouette speaks…

“It is I, ChiefScott, Twister champion!  
Slayer of the less nimble! Master of the inflexible!”

As curs, awefilled men cower. Awefilled women dampen.

“Let’s play ladies…”

Hmmm…I’ll play naked Twister with BOTH of you. Somehow I think that’ll cheer me RIGHT up. 😉

Well, Falcon, it seems as though there are more men than women playing Naked Twister tonight.  
I like the odds. 😃  
Now, who’s going to show me how to play? What are the rules? I wouldn’t want to put a foot wrong, as it were. 😉

I like the odds too, PB. Like I said, this should cheer me up after a REALLY bad evening.

So…who wants to show me how to play? Chiefy? VB?

Omigod…Chief Scott is _double-jointed_?

Well, looks like the party has started. ::heroically avoids staring at the Twister game in progress::

I couldn’t miss a celebration for **Purplebear** , one of the sweetest people around SDMB or anywhere else.

I hid behind the couch for a while–did you _see_ what was going on back there?!–then fell asleep in the closet curled up with may face in the bowl of guacamole.

And here some fixin’s for great pina coladas: island rum, fresh pineapple juice—got a blender, PB?

Hey, _great_ bikini, PB!

::quickly rigs spinner so the ladies get “left foot yellow” and “right foot green”::

Well, now. Lookee here. “Left hand blue” for me! I guess I’ll slide right… under… here.

Damn! Now that’s a view!

Dropzone you are already oily you might as well join in. Group showers later.  
Do we have any volunteers for towel boys?  
Chief Scott, I never! Okay, well maybe a little.

Hi, Veb! Awwww…thanks. Glad you like the bikini too. Blender’s right over there. Help yourself!

Why, thank you, Chief! :o Oops, sorry, thought for a second you were talking about me. Must be Veb or Kricket you’re talking about.

Ooooohhhh, drop, I just _love_ hugs. Hehehehee. Oh, my! Sorry 'bout that. Happy you decided to join us in the game. 🙂

Chronos, Tall and dark…Mmmmmmm…

What was that, Chief? Left foot red. Hmmmm…Awkward position for me, but I think I can handle it. Stop staring so hard!

Suddenly hearing hubby’s voice, purplebear turns around, almost falling out, I mean _down_, to wave at him. HI, honey!! Have fun scuba diving today! 🙂  
Oops! Heheheee… Sorry about that, dpr. Didn’t mean to…oh, my! What are you looking at with that funny look on your face…oh. :o

Hey, Falcon, I heard VB over there, I’m sure he’ll be joining us soon. Watch your hair, it’s getting in my face a little.

Why, Chief! I, ummmm, I, ummmm…had no _idea_! Oh, my! :eek:

First off, nice post/sig combo there, VB.

Moving on…

Chief! I didn’t know they had a, um, spinner for that appendage. Looks like you’re doing all right, though… 😉

And VB! Is that YOUR hand? Well then…I’m petitioning to um, exempt you from that last spin. I like your hand where it is. 😉 (Hey, they don’t call me a sassy bird for nothing…)
