I will not accept “looking past” the goats, my perfect man would adore the goats. And I’m only willing to look past a wife if she can look past me 😛 ---

> [@Abbie Normal](#): > > You didn’t lay back long now did you. 🙂 I can look past the goats, if she can look past my wife. :smack: She’d have to look around mine… “No I didn’t say that. Really dear, I didn’t…oh come on, I was being nice, she’s a nice young lady and all I did was say she looked lovely, and for chrissake, put that pan down and stop swinging it at me, she lives in frigging Auatralia, what am I gonna do, hop the next Qantas?” [disclaimer]The Bus Wife does not require to be looked AROUND should you wish to see past her, she’s quite lovely, in fact I’ve used the word “lovely” a bit much here, so I’ll slink off now[/disclaimer] PS: She likes me better anyway, she went to sleep on MY comment, so there. 😛 And I could learn to like goats. Really. ---

Real pictures shouldn’t look like a teenager was fucking around with photoshop and cut scenes from Final Fantasy. Real the pictures may very well be. Natural, they ain’t. ---

> [@Jessica Rabbit](#): > > You might have to hit me with that same stick… What are we talking about? Lute is somewhat right. I don’t know if you _are_ the pretty girl, or just have one helping you out (I’ll assume the former for now), but I am certain that anyone who begins their SDMB career with a photo essay and their hotness rating is playing the Pied Piper of MPSIMS. Just one man’s observation. But hey, whatever gets your juices flowing. Just remember that once you get people scurrying after you in this way, it will take an act of Cecil to get it to stop. ---

**Jessica** , I had a quick question, something **Waverly** alluded to: Were you wearing a corset in those pics? Your waist seemed very small in comparison to your _ahem_ other features. By the way, a sharp wit and good spelling are very highly valued among this group of people; you seem to fit in well. Welcome. ---

Sigh. So many hot young things half a world away, so many candles on my fucking birthday cake… so many carats in the gold on my left ring finger. :rolleyes: Stick around, JR. Hot babes with a sense of humour, who write properly even in IMs and have a fondness for “nerdish activities” will fit right in. Oh to be 18, gorgeous, and have had the chance to be bored with meaningless sex ---

Just one man’s observation. And here’s one Mod’s observation: If you feel a poster is trolling (because, let’s face it, the situation you described _is_ trolling if not a more benign form of it), then the proper thing to do is report your suspicions to a moderator. Do not–and this goes for _everyone_ in this thread–make accusations in the thread either outright or on the sly. Please do not do this again. ---

And, actually, I’m afraid this thread is a hopeless case for some unabashed flirting. Not that there’s anything wrong with flirting, mind you, but the SDMB frowns on flirting threads. I know it didn’t start out as one, but it ended up that way. 'Tis closed.
