Welcome, my child. We here at the SDMB Seminary and convent are here to help you. As you can see, the world here is full of Doper Crushes, Who do you Love and Pick-a-Doper threads. We are here to help you with all of that. This is a queit place, dedicated to healing and helping your wounded ego. Are you never picked in one of _those_ threads? I know I’m usually not. In fact, with one small exception, I’ve not been picked in any thread of it’s sort, ever. So join me here. No crushes, no hot sweaty monkey sex. Just single people, being bitter about not getting picked. [sub]Ok, the odds are we’re going to get enough bitter single people for some hot sweaty monkey love… just wait for it… [/sub] We have fellowship every evening. The Kool-Aid is always cold, and the donuts are fairly fresh. Won’t you join us? ---

\ what, no hot sweaty monkeys? dang. \ ah what the heck! the donuts are fresh. \ **tristan** , the tone of your post made me think of count dracula, clad in a long black cloak, standing at the door to his castle, beckoning with one finger, hand outstretched, to a pretty soaked damsel shivering in the pouring rain. i think it was the > [@](#): > > Won’t you join us? that did it. ---

We have mostly glazed, though I understand some people have been bringing in powdered jelly filled. We do try to keep everyone happy here. As for my vampireishness… I do apologize. It’s the semi-preistly get up that does it every time. Makes me all solemn and wanting to bite ladies on the… neck. Maybe I need some pamphlets… ---

I’ll join you. But I’m not drinking the Kool-Aid. ---

Shouldn’t this be a monastery and convent instead of a seminary? That’s just my opinion though. Anyway, I’ll go hang out in the convent gardens for a while. At least I can get a tan or something while I have to be here. ---

How many Kool-Aids would it take to make someone want to see me naked? Can we make enough Kool-Aid for that? First, we’ll need a tanker truck… ---

Can a forbidden doughnut join in? Sadly, I’m never picked for _those_ threads, either. I’ve been here a couple of years but my post count is pretty low. [Simpson’s Captain] Argh.☹ [/Simpson’s Captain] pass the Kool-Aid. mmm… ---

I pretty much made an ass of myself a few days ago in a thread mentioned in the OP. Would I be welcome to come in and try to mend my ways? I promise to behave, and I’ll even spring for a round of donuts… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-seminary-and-convent/169516.md?page=2)
