I’m back, solely to add **wyldelf** to my list. She’s a little cutie. 😉 And, unlike the 2 lists I’ve somehow gotten my name on, there are no conditions, addendums, or quid pro quo’s in order to be on my list. (See, so even if I wasn’t the #1 guy on the list or something like that, I don’t threaten to boot you off my list no matter what. Right, **Nymysys**? Of course I’m not above a little basking in my own moral superiority every now and then. :D) ---

Nacho4Sara, your crush sounds like the guy I have a crush on. :mock glare: Your crush doesn’t like to cook, does he? > > Don’t be messing with my sweetie, 'k? \*\* Well well! I was about to straighten my tie and give zyada a seductive wink at the next get-together, and then I saw the part about “a little shy”. Nuts. Guess it isn’t me after all. My crush list is comprehensive and broad-based (although there are a few men on it. “broad-based”…get it? Ba-dum-bum) However, there are a few who stand out even in such an illustrious group: [list][li] **Hamadryad** - I was totally undone by her current SD people pages pic in the tuxedo… but even before I knew what she looked like, I was smitten by the way she puts things.[/li][li] **Falcon** - flirter extraordinaire. If you ever come back to Dallas I won’t let you get away without stealing at least one kiss.[/li][li] **Shayna** - Pleeeeeze come to Dallas so I can thank you properly for all the work you’ve done on the people pages. Plus it would be interesting to have a real-time conversation with you… the lag between e-mails is so long it’s like conversing with someone on Saturn.[/li][li] **Commander Fortune** - haven’t seen any posts by her in a while, more’s the pity. I was smitten when we met in Denver last year.[/li][li] **Kricket** - What a fox, and her lifestyle sounds so free…[/li][li] **OpalCat** - How do you do, Ms. Flame? I’m Mr. Moth.[/li][li] **Magdalene** - Anyone who writes such good mash notes _and_ is willing to play Scrabble against me sets my chefly lil’ heart a-flutter.[/li][li] **Medea’s Child & Serendipity** - Gawrsh, you like me, you REALLY like me…_blush_[/li][li] **the irresistible succubi of #straightdope chat** - Every time I log on, there’s _someone_ in there I’d like to nibble on.[/li]There are more, and I’m sure I’ll be making several panicky additions to the list as women start weeping for being excluded. ---

Both the Glorious Mistress **AND** sweet stargazer are redheads?!? Ohhhh, I feel lightheaded again… Congratulations, ladies. You’ve taken my modest crushes and… er, blown them apart? …expanded them? …made them into something much larger? I’m sorry… I can’t think of an innocent description that won’t easily become a double entendre. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Nymysys \* > **Damn, you need moral superiority for people to have a crush on you?** That’s not necessarily a rule. I was just remarking how there are no conditions to being on my list. It’s not every day I can feel morally superior to anyone. Hell, once I even had a dream where the snake from the Garden of Eden was chastizing me for being bad. I wonder what that means. . . And **wyldelf**! Woo-hoo! My first stalker! I thought all the bolding was cuz you _really really really_ meant what you were saying. Now I learn it was just an accident. :sigh: ---

Now, I will cry no end of tears for being left off of everyones list. I know I may be a newb, but… [sympathy ploy] Oh well, there’s no convincing you guys… [/sympathy ploy] As for you guys, there’s not one of you left off of my list. Each and every one of you has either said something I believe in completely, something beautiful, something insightful, or any combination of the three. All my crushes are on all of you guys, and this is to you. S is for their sillyness. D is for their dynamic personalities. M is for their Mind Boggling Beauty. B stands for board. I think. A Totoro original. Oh, and if people don’t know what a Totoro is, go to [Nausicaa.net](http://Nausicaa.net) and look at it. It’s perhaps the cutest thing you may ever lay your eyes upon.
