Thank you, Nika! (Note to self: make sure to reply to any thread Nika starts if at all possible. Attend any birthday or post party threads of hers religiously. Suck up shamelessly.)
Scotti, my dear, I guess I can keep the mash notes locked away, and not spam them out to the entire population of the message board. Just kiddin’, darling. A thank you to my most prolific correspondent (ahem, Grace, better get on the ball).
TroubleAgain: I knew that the prominent place on my sig would pay off! (I got your e-mail, will respond tomorrow: It’s a pleasure corresponding with you, and I hope, in particular, that everything turns out well with your cats!)
I’d like to thank all of the above mentioned ladies sincerely, humbly, and gratefully, for their support, as I will do anyone who votes for me. I thank Anniz for putting together this contest, and eyor for calling off his boycott.
Look at my fellow candidates. I don’t even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as these incredibly worthy people:
Monster104, despite his youth, obviously has the makings of a real heartbreaker on the SDMB. He’s on ssskuggiii’s and tiggergirl’s laminated lists (two lists that I never made). Wally acknowledged him. Hell, he’s on Lexicon’s list and Lexicon is a guy.
Iampunha, well, what can you say about someone who had women swooning over his shirtless pic and voting on which picture should go up on the people pages? He even got one of my biggest heartthrobs, Michi, to explain to him sexual practices over IM. (Michi barely acknowledges me on this message board.) Iampunha starts a thread with Montfort to pick and choose who to flirt with, and the women are flattered: hell, if I tried that, I’d probably be tarred and feathered and have a restraining order filed against me.
Democrites. Well, he already has the incredibly attractive Psycat90 as a wife, and two beautiful children. Why does he need this title? How superfluous would it be? He’d no doubt put this title not on his mantlepiece, but somewhere in his garage or basement, along with other kudos long since forgotten and appreciated.
On the other hand, this title, if it should be bestowed on me, would honor me greatly. I’m still reeling from horrible showings on previous polls: IMHO male slut, IMHO prom king. (Think Mondale, Goldwater and Dukakis.)
It’s true that I don’t have a picture up. But that’s because my self confidence was scarred horribly in a very tragic accident. I’d love to tell you that I’m really good looking and am just terribly shy, but unfortunately, the attendees at the recent LA doperfest know better (BTW, none of them have voted for me. What does that tell you?)
I may not be a looker, but remember:
“A good leg will fall; a straight back will stoop; a
black beard will turn white; a curled pate will grow
bald; a fair face will wither; a full eye will wax
hollow: but a good heart…is the sun and the
moon; or, rather, the sun, and not the moon; for it
shines bright and never changes, but keeps his
course truly.”
–King Henry V, Act 5, Scene ii
No one would appreciate votes for this title more than me. I even tried to take suck up lessons from Aha: he laughed and said I was too pathetic, even for him. I won’t even tell you what Cecil (through Ed Zotti–he wouldn’t respond to me directly) said when I asked him for help, or for his vote.
So please, vote for me. Read my lips: No new taxes. I didn’t inhale, I cannot tell a lie, and my intern wouldn’t even have sex with me.
Show this message board, that this is still a government for the people, by the people. Nothing as long as you live, will ever be more important.
Hey, how the hell did that Oliver Stone quote get in here? (Then again, that would be the only explanation for my receiving one vote, to say nothing of the seven I originally got. It must be an Oliver Stone conspiracy.)
