So, **Ginger** , what kind of design would you like? Or a massage, perhaps?  
I live to serve. [sub]and if you believe that, I’ve got some land down here to sell you.[/sub]

Neither, **galen** , but thank you. I’m dressed now. I just want to know what **Muffin** was saying.

Can’t help you there, I’m afraid - I can just barely recognize the language.

Thought I got you last night…who’s wandering around covered in flames?

Oh, I remember - it was that Jehovah’s Witness. I don’t think **alice** has to worry about white - shirted God salesman anymore.

Let’s see, abstract flame design…let’s start with white on the calves, shading upward to dark red toward the top. What color is your hair, and is it long enough to simulate smoke?

As far as I can tell, when alice\_in\_wonderland decided to re-decorate her pad in a Roman theme, her force of will psychically re-decorated me. She must be pretty experienced at that sort of thing, given those books written about her. Fortunately, the spell wore off as I slept.

Just got out of the shower; hair is dripping and my legs are all greased up with lotion. I hate how clothes feel against freshly shaved legs, so I’m sitting here naked from the waist down until the lotion is absorbed.

That is all.

Thanks, **Ruffian** , that’s the best mental image I’ve had all day. Somehow a bit more erotic than being fully undressed. Especially the bit about your hair dripping on your legs. Very nice.

That is all.

It’s true - it’s all true. I _ **ALWAYS** _ get my own way - but at least I say thank-you.

Now, who’s up for nude twister? I’m all limbered up after this morning’s yoga session…

I’m all stiffened up from this morning’s soccer match. But what the heck, maybe I this will help work out those kinks.

[sub]Is it just me or does it seem that an alarmingly high percentage of nudists on the board are Canadian? Can someone forward me the immigration papers?[/sub]

Hey guy - it’t not like we have anything else to do for the 9 months of winter we get up here.

Now then…

That’s an easy one. You’d better do the spins since I don’t know the game that well. But if you call right foot blue I might get some “bunny” in my eye.

Well, it would be nice if **ladyfoxfyre** , **Limerick** or **Ginger** would jump in as well, but I don’t mind posting up with you one-on-one.

As for the bra, I am often told that anything that helps cover me up is a good fashion accessory.

Sorry, I thought you said “elephant red”. Maybe we can tuck him away somewhere for the remainder of the match?
