Oh, Orion007 gets a crush from me, and stupendous man, and the other C+H guy.

I think we should organize a doper Calvinball game. Meet me at Mt. Washington at midnight! Bring sports equipment and a Mask!

Thanks Totoro! You do not in any way, shape, or form resemble a Pokemon. I promise! 🙂

And you’re cuter than an Ogre.

Start a Calvinball thread. I wonder how well it would do…

Thank you sir, I think I’ll take you up on that offer… just how to do it? Would it be like everyone is on teams? Then we write to say what we’re doing? Sounds good to me… I’ll start a team thread.

I can attest to Ogre’s impeccablness - he hasn’t even smooched me yet _Grins_ not through my lack of trying though.

Thought I would get in first

(((((Ogre)))))

I wish I could list all the folks I’ve got crushes on. But since I’m married…well, the only one I can admit to is **aha,** because my husband knows who he is. 😃

But there’s lots. Lots & lots & lots.

Sigh.

This isn’t even the Smooch-o-matic thread, but who am I to keep a lady waiting?

🙂

You may consider yourself well and truly Ogre-SMOOCHED, **wyldelf**! Oh, and here’s another, just in case the first one didn’t take.

**SMOOCH**

And because I was unforgivably remiss in neglecting to mention **purplebear** , let me just say that I’ve never even met you, but I can tell you’re one hell of a lady, and that you now have a gol-card membership to Ogre’s Crush Hall of Fame (such as it is. ;))

That would be a gol **d** card membership.

\<sigh\> (I’m doing a lot of sighing tonight.)

Four pages and not one mention. I tell myself it is because of my unavailablity–why waste your love on one who cannot return it? Please do not burst my bubble and tell me there is another reason. I like that one.

By God, I’ve got a huge, uncontrollable crush on **dropzone** , and I don’t care who knows it!

I think you were mentioned more than once at [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49098&pagenumber=1) thread, you shrinking violet you.

And watch out for those Ogre-hugs, they’re doozies.

dropzone, you’ve nailed it.

That distant look in your eyes, that cool, aloof air about you, well, it positively screams “I know you want to possess me! But no! You cannot have me!”

So the masses of crushed women who _would_ be piled up at your feet like so many squirrels in the park, begging for the Frito Crumbs of Love you might toss our way, instead skitter away, heartbroken and empty, only to be smooshed under the tires of an SUV.

Damn you, dropzone! Damn you all to hell!

I know how you feel **Dropzone** , except in my case, my low post count pretty much means nobody knows about me, and I’m currently availible.

Still, it does rankle a bit.

Well, I’ve got a crush on you (and many, many others, the names of which I won’t get into due to the fact that I’m afraid I would leave somebody out. Yes folks, the list is that vast).

Anyone who can come up with "the Frito Crumbs of Love " automatically goes to the top of my list.

Ladies, let me intro somebody who should need no introduction (but could use a Christmas crush).

Corv is a Canadian, which means his family won’t be stripped of his toys when he dies. Which is really a long time away. He has a decent spyglass, and is willing show young dopers of the female persuasion Cassiopeia and what the W means.
