The second-best thing I’ve ever lost down your cleavage, my dear Hama. Right after my virginity.

Let’s address your so-called “concerns” one-by-one, shall we?

**How can we be sure that JoeyHemlock hasn’t spent years as a Soviet spy, selling America’s nuclear secrets?** - Giving them so-called information that I obtained while at my high-level post with the United States Nuclear Secrets Administration in exchange for really really really good vodka is not treasonous. It’s _good vodka_. Don’t you understand? Oh, and they were Estonian.

**Are we convinced that JoeyHemlock didn’t entice Patty Hearst into joining the SLA?** - Yes, but the so-called SLA I was involved in was the _Symbiotic Liberation Army_ (an unfortunate organazation once we realized that the parasites and host organisms needed each other to survive). **Remember the Dax!**.

**Can we be certain that JoeyHemlock wasn’t the second shooter on the grassy knoll in Dallas?** - The so-called “grassy knoll” was more CRAB-grassy than anything else, and less a knoll than a grassy hill, so your argument holds no merit. And, quite frankly, it smacks of racism and homophobia. Cite! Cite!

**Do we have any proof that JoeyHemlockwasn’t Tokyo Rose, luring US sailors with misinformation?** - Okay, this so-called one was me. Mea Culpa.

**And has any found any evidence that JoeyHemlock wasn’t responsible for the sinking of the _Maine_ in Havana Harbor?** - Oh geeze. Blow anything out of proportion lately? First of all, the so-called _Maine_ was a two-man kayak. Secondly, it was skinned with beaver pelts – _inferior Ecudoran beaver pelts_. Thirdly, it wasn’t me, or if it was it was only because it was the only thing standing in the way of my twelve-years-in-the-making information-for-vodka deal.

1. Being smart: Um…well…okay, I’m not.

2. Postcards: Um…well…okay, I don’t do that either. I did send a couple from the last OhDope, though. Does that count?

3. Masturbation: Got that down to an art. 😃

But that’s only one out of three.

If I paid you, would you tutor me?

Joey Dearest…

I freely admit I didn’t read this whole thread. I know, I know…I am a bad girl.

I skipped it because I am not myself at this point, but I wanted to give you a huggle and welcome you back because I love you.

That’s all.

My Love,

Cheri

yeah, well _I_ read it. All of it. Even this post. Neener. 🙂

Just kiddin’. (Well, I really did read all of it, but I will firmly defend your freedom not to do so. I just like being a pain.)

**Joey!** My nose has been a fine source of epidermis for years now! Come partake.

Actually, you weren’t in that sweet-and-sour pork I ate tonight at the Chinese restuarant, were you? Because if you were, that would be… indescribable.

I can second that. **Tansu** is indeed a girlie, and was flaunting her rather nice breastiges at the Tigg-fest to prove it.  
Bad Joey, you almost missed that one, lucky we put you straight. You must check these things carefully, else you miss out on more boobage! 😉

Smooooch me! I saved you titties! 😃

Ah ha! AH HA! Is THAT the story you’re telling? Huh? Why don’t you tell 'em about the REAL story? Third nipples are ILLEGAL in 'Bama and that YOU DIDN’T VETO THAT LAW WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE! You know, when you were the Governor. Of Alabama.

Am I thinking of someone else?

If you’re a girl, then I’ll smite your enemies anyway. 🙂 Girls are, like, my favorite. They have boobs and they smell nice.

Your nose is like a tiny little mountain of heaven. I have named your nose to be the winner of the **Daerlyn Partakible Parts Pageant**. I will partake of them in NYC soon. Your boobs have been named first runner up, so if your nose is in any way unable to fulfill it’s duties (congestion, redness, chapping, deviated septum), then the first runner up will be promoted to the top spot.
