Just one question. How did me and **ultrafilter** get “reinstated” and then “added”? Does that mean twice the love for us? w00t! High five!

AHA! THAT explains why I keep missing the “crush” lists! (The only logical explanation, anyway.)

Wait. Does that mean I lose my severance package? 'Cause actually, I was kinda looking forward to having the door smack me on the ass!

While twice the love from **pezpunk** certainly is a good thing, we can be each other’s crushes and his–now that’s a plan that’ll work out nicely, if I do say so myself.

Wow. This is the most loved I’ve been in months. 😃 Thanks, **pezpunk**! And crazy-ass-dressed-like-the-Riddler[sup]TM[/sup] **Matthew Lesko**!

Yay! If you trim the list again, Pezzy, make sure you leave the Ns, or else I’ll come to your house and kill you.

Crushed alphabetically, dumped due to budgetary constraints, and reinstated because of federal funding for crushes all in the same day. I feel so honored…or used, I get the two mixed up.

If you only knew how many times this happened to me, you’d think I’d be used to it by now. (gentle sobbing and marathon sessions of listening to Richard Thompson to follow)

Oooh… **pezpunk** , you’ve made my spit list now. I’ve been off from work all day, on the road driving, with no internet access…Fickle bastard. And I liked you before this thread, (to the point of _searches_ for crying out loud…  
No more. From now on, I save all my crush time for Euty, Scylla, scott evil (hee hee!), and auntie em, even though I am a straight girl and I assume she is, also. Oh, wait, I have to include FairyChatMom, sidle, and jarbabyj, as I search for them, too.

Good lord. I have to go sober up now. I admitted crushes on the board…

Dammit. That will teach me to not read the whole thread before replying.

Love you, pezpunk. Don’t change, darling…You’re WONDERFUL.

(I really didn’t read the entire thread. I missed the whole re-instatement! I feel like such a tool…Oh, and **pezpunk**? My SO is starting to get jealous… this makes this evening so much better! :D)

Uh. Okay.

I thought the only list I was on was the one by **Spoofe** after making a dental hygiene joke.

Woah Im confused. At first I thought ‘Woah, I got my existance acknowledged!’ But then I was shown the door and I frowned but now Im back on **The List** TM. This list really is confusing. I would really appreciate a signed, notorized document clearly stating that you, **Pezpunk** , indeed do acknowled my existance. pls tks bye

</div>

I’m concerned. I mean, sure, I feel good right now, but what about future downsizing? In todays unstable economy, I need my crush status to be secure! **Pezpunk** , what are you going to offer us? How about some kind of contract, or…

Ah, hell, who am I kidding! It’s my first boardcrush, and I’m gonna take it any way I can get it!

I’m going to retire to my bedroom now and try out my first name with **pezpunk** ’s last name - if only i could figure out if either of us _have_ first or last names persay.

What the…?:eek:

How the heck did I get involved in this big game of crush-list grab-ass? And I’ve survived all the cuts and restructurizations so far.

I don’t know if I should be flattered or offended.  
I guess I’ll be flaffended, at least until I figure out how I managed to get wrapped up in this twisted menage a fifty.

Due to Government overspending and budget cuts, my Mathew Lesko grant has been pulled. As previously mentioned his program is guaranteed so I did manage to secure my initial $50 investment back from him. As you can imagine this leaves me in quite a financial bind! I have “crush bills” to pay! The result is this, either you guys make “donations” to the Pezpunk crush fund or I will have to shorten my list to the following people:

**Kirsten Dunst**

That is all.
