An ON topice post! What am I supposed to do, again? I forget. …Wait! I know! I totally agree, **Mal**. Her communication style is outstanding. And ya’ can’t fault her attitude, either. I’ve had almost as clear instructions, on occasion, but they’ve always been of the opposite nature. So, what’ll ya’ have? A beer, maybe? > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Rhino’sHoney_ > **Oops!

A little Scotch for me please, bartender. If you have any Islay malt, that’ll do even better. It’s the whole peat-smoke thing; an acquired taste, but well worth the labour IMHO. Nothing in it “except another whisky”, as my Dad would say. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sappho \* > \*\*Not something you need to be so apologetic about asking! I am bi, as it happens, but the username is just indicative of liking Greek lyric and Sappho in particular. In a vague way, I like to try and reclaim “Sappho” from being synonymous with “lesbian” and remind people that she was in fact one of the world’s finest poets. But I digress. > \*\* Sorry, I had the week from hell, so I had to bow out of this thread for a while. Thanks for the reply **Sappho** , I’m cautious becasue I’ve run afoul of some grouchy lesbians lately (other boards), so I was just being careful. I think that’s a thread I’d like to start, one about why lesbians and straight guys can’t seem to be friends. We have so much in common! Every time I talk to one, they think I’m sucking up just so I can ask to watch or something. While that would be entertaining, sometimes I’m really just talking. I mostly just posted to give this thread a **bump**. ---

Hi all! I’m back from my trip to the wilds of West Texas. I just wanted to let you know that my boyfriend was most grateful for the…_enthusiasm_…this thread gave me. He said it was the best one ever! And he most definitely showed his gratitude later! 😃 They say absence makes the heart grow fonder…he’s off to California for a week. ☹ ---

Poor **{{{{{{{{{{{{{DAVE}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}** I’ve had a bad day … and gonna hijack this thread btw… Said goodbye to someone I thought was a friend but turned out not to be. Despite them acting like a shithead to me for ages now, I still feel rotten and cried a lot. But it needed to be done. And this has nothing to do with bj’s whatsoever but maybe mentioning blow jobs here might help me not hijack this totally 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spit-or-swallow-a-followup-poll-tmi/165070.md?page=24) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spit-or-swallow-a-followup-poll-tmi/165070.md?page=26)
