I don’t usually start these things. I guess I’m kind of a sober-sided Sam at heart.
But I just gotta say how impressed I am with one of our newest participants in the fun fest:Sexywriter. In addition to having an intriguing name (Hey, I’m in publishing and most of the writers I see are old, boring men) her posts are intelligent, witty, and thought-provoking.
Some examples:
But then in the flake thread she says:
Look, I’m not the sort to flirt because I’m married, mid-thirties, balding and kinda fat, but I’ve definitely put Sexywriter on my list of women that I would try to woo with expensive gifts, trips to exotic locales, fine wine, and good food if I wasn’t married etc.
But instead I’ll just have to consider her as One of the coolest newbies I’ve run into, as well as someone who can make me laugh and am proud to share the SDMB with.
I feel so silly doing this. But it just kinda overwhelmed me.
I concur with the OP on all points except a reticence to flirt (come up and see me sometime, SexyWriter).
But Jonathan Chance, she’s not really a newbie. Check her “registered” date: she’s been here longer than either of us. She just sort of went crazy with the posting a couple of weeks ago.
Not, naturally, that there’s anything wrong with that.
I’m a single, 31-year-old woman. And while it’s true, I won’t date married men, I’m not opposed to being “wooed with expensive gifts.” The “exotic locales” part is especially attractive to a sexy writer. I’m sure your wife won’t miss a few thousand dollars from your retirement fund. You can always put it back later.
It’s true, I read the message board all the time, but only recently had the overwhelming urge to post because of something in the “stereotyping the overweight” thread pushing my buttons. At that point, I realized that my time would be much better spent subjecting everyone here to my opinion than it is working.
Thanks for the lovely compliments. I’m SO glad the first thread title mentioning my name didn’t end up in the Pit.
No, no, NO! There are lots of chicks here, much cooler than I. Not to mention younger and more nubile. I don’t know a lot of them by name yet, but I’ve seen some awfully brilliant women with things to say here. Anyone want to introduce me to some of them?
I too concur that SexyWriter is my fav new poster. Heck she is one of my favorite poster period.
However dear this is the Straight Dope and you must back up you claims with cites. The photos you posted befor only showed your very cute face. We need proof that you tits are better than all other features. Personally I can’t belive that they are better than you wit.
Zebra, I’m at work, otherwise, a photo would be on the way.
Watermellon Man, drinks are on me. But we’d better be careful in the livingroom, lest we inadvertently signal the aliens and lead to the prolification of even MORE coffee table circles.
dustMagnate, I AM blushing! Help! How do I cure it? I’ve never had people sort of line up to tell me NICE things before. Can I get you to all send me an e-mail once a day reminding me that I’m not ALWAYS a dork?
Flowers and chocolate? No, no, emphatically no! I don’t think we’re operating on the same wavelength here.
I was thinking more like jewelry and opera tickets. A trip to Iceland. Cars perhaps? (Jeez, maybe gas for my current guzzler would be more practical.)
Oh, and I’d like a pony.
I don’t mind my name either, but I find it to be obnoxiously common. Not only that, but there are all kinds of stupid songs with my name in them. Ever heard “Think of Laura” by Christopher Cross? That’ll make you change your mind about the name for sure.
And Watermelon Man I hope you didn’t think I was seriously angry when you called me a hoaxter. I was laughing my head off and replying to you with sarcasm and (apparently ineffective) wit. My anger with you was only a joke.
You can see under her name: Registered, Feb 2000. So we know how long she has been here. Also, she just wrote:
"I’m SxyWriter2.
Get that? It's SxyWritER, not SxyWritING.
No, I will not entertain you with erotic stories on line for free. My work is copyrighted material and
I don't generally write erotica anyway.
No, I will not send you a photo, nude or otherwise.
No, I'm not interested in "hooking up."
Frankly, I don’t believe much about anyone until I meet them in person, at least that way I can verify they are real.

Yes, I’d like a tiara please. A very sparly one.

Okay, you can just fill the gas tank in my big, stupid, V12. I finally got it UNSTUCK without being subjected to the condescending tow truck driver, in case anyone is

Is there a jacuzzi in the guest house? If there is, the answer is yes. Oh, and can I have a cabana boy in the house? See if you can get Benjamin Bratt on that right away. Since you’re married and all
