\<sigh\> Now I feel like an ass for doubting **Crunchy’s** sincerity, especially after he said that thing about the lipstick.

He’s so kind and considerate, always wanting to make others feel good. Not to mention what a snappy dresser he is. I swear, that man in a pair of khakis would make a nun kick in a stained-glass window. Oh, and dear me, there’s his wit. Urbane without being overbearing, sharp but not cutting. And the way he smiles…\<fans self\>

But then, he’s in good company on this message board. What a gathering of smart, sophisticated people. Yet how can they be so clean-cut and decent at the same time? It boggles the mind.

(Ugh, I need to go take a shower)
