Oh - don’t get me wrong, I really really meant it **Crunchy** but I prefer to be more subtle in my stalking.

Since I’m happily married I’m not _supposed_ to have any crushes, ;), so I’ll just list out my _favorite_ posters instead.

**Crunchy Frog** for his wicked sense of humor. Plus he likes Monty Python, what more could a girl want? 😉  
**Coldfire** Mmmmm, cute Euro manflesh. And so authoritative since he became a mod.  
**Twist of Fate** More cute Euro manflesh.  
**Chief Scott** and **Mully** you two always manage to get a laugh out of me.  
And many more. It’s just too early to remember you all.

And since this is merely a list of my _favorite_ posters, I’d better add a word for the ladies as well…

**Purplebear** one of the sweetest souls on board  
**tatertot** fellow army brat!  
**Falcon** who makes anyone feel welcome  
And many others I’d list if only my mind was awake.

Obviously, you haven’t read many of my posts. If you had, you’d treat me like the other women around here do- complete and total apathy towards ol’ Cnote.

Until you wise up, consider yourself on my list too.

</div>

screech-owl prettily steps forward and becomes one of only two SDMB ladies to cop to a Tygr-crush (even if I did fall after the “Hi Opal” point).

Then what happens? While I’m trying to recover enough to compose a humble thanks, DRY pulls out one of his endless supply of perfectly flirt-uous Bard quotes **AND BOGARTS MY CRUSH!**

_sob_ I just CAN’T compete with Bill S.

Lessee… baring something… legal age… Yep, I’ve got a crush, allright.

Drat, I started growing through the top of my hair ten years ago. What’s left IS well-kept, but I’m long past the point where growing it long won’t look ridiculous. But if it helps me compete with **DRY** , then:

\<Clapton\>If your hair’s fallin’ out

ROGAINE! \</Clapton\>

Um…okay, I know Froggy and I are buds and stuff, but is it that easy to get us confused?

And what’s up with that MikeG guy?

Well, since **MikeG** did it . . .

Oh, most beautiful **Nymysys** and **wyldelf** , needest I also humble myself in a drunken spectacle to win thine hearts? Must that be the gesture to prove mine love for thee? Then stand ye back, knaves, away from my loves as I doth quaff yon bottles of cheap wine! Now behold as the potent potable doth take its hold on mine senses and I type as though I was a drunkin idoit. Watch in disblife, um disbifle, um, You won’t beleive yur eyes as I get more and more intoxika, um, intexas, um, shitfaced. I do this for you, my luvs **Nymysysysys** and **wyldefl**! I hope this proves how much I luv the tow of yoo. And please forgive me for puking on your shoos.

And **wyldelf**? How exactly did you confuse me and **Nymysys**?

Oh, he’s mostly harmless and the previous post was PUI  
so his stellar grammar and punctuation record was not singlehandedly destroyed by a few inebriated posts-they didn’t count!

What? HEY! Stop pushing. Ow.

Ok! I hear there’s some honor to be defended here or some such. Anyone anyone?

ah. Nym. There you are. Ok… I’m here, now what? This defending honor thing is somewhat… um… foreign to me.

Damn, and here I thought you were defending my honour from the get-go. Seems like I remember reading something about that in an OP some weeks back. Fine. First Nen forgets, now you’re slacking. Guess I’ll just have to defend myself. Stoopid, stoopid men. \<sigh\>

No no… I’m here yfor you. Just let me know what I’m supposed to do. What? Lock you up? Knock some heads? give tasks to potential suitors? I can do that  
Crunchy, your task, if you choose to accept it, is to get me a pack of cigarettes from the corner store.

Depending on what you purchase, I’ll decide how much time you get to spend with Nym.

Um, **oldscratch** , I’m not sure that’s the plan for defending her honor, since you’ve basically just offered to pimp her out to me for a pack of smokes.

You should have gone for the whole carton.

Sorry **Nym** and **Crunchy** I didn’t confuse you at all but just didn’t delete enough of the quote - was in a bit of a mad rush to get to work. My apologies.

And I still declare my crushes on both of you. And since you have declared crushes on each other etc etc - I guess that makes a pretty good crush triangle really - Excellent!😉_kiss_ for both of you.

Wow **Nym** 2 guys getting drunk and puking for us - do you feel special? Me? well I just feel a little sticky at the moment - going to go and wash my shoes off.

As for defending my honour - really? It could do with a little defending at the moment. So feel free to help out!!

I don’t want to have to fight with you for Crunchy Nym - but that’s ok cause I will just quietly stalk him (A bit of a stealth crush)instead of pursuing him blatantly. _smooch_

MikeG - you have been so very sweet to me lately (though knows that those comments sounded more drunken than the one in this thread!!) 😉 During a time where there is a distinct lack of sweetness in my life so thank you for your kindness!!

and yet, you still didn’t manage to bring any back. I see it as an apropriately difficult task, taking into account the going rate for nym’s honor.  
And ummmm… MikeG. You must procur a drool pail, and wear it, and ummm, roll around naked and greased with Tommy Thompson for a while if you want access to Nym’s treasures.

**oldscratch** are you referring to WI gov. Tommy Thompson or some better looking TT that I don’t know?

Either way, Done.  
I’ll do it on stage if it will extend my alloted time;)

Or will she just towel me off afterwards?

Too bad we can’t invite **Froggy** into our group marriage, eh? Methinks he’d be a very, very welcome addition.

As for the drunk and puking on me, I’m saving myself for **Android**. No offense to any previous trying-to-puke-on-me fellows, but when it’s done with a British accent, it just adds so much.
