I haven’t yet been hit on and only once recieved an e-mail because of anything I’ve posted here.

Dammit … you’d think as sexually frustrated as I am, someone woulda done it by now. 😉

Uh oh, the girls are on to me.

Note to self: Delete the Brad Pitt picture from emails to Diane. Also, try using my _real_ age with orangecakes. Maybe try to be a little less creepy overall.

Haven’t been hit on yet, which is a good thing, cause…I hit back. 🙂 As far as I know, I am the only Narile on ICQ, and as far as pictures go…I keep breaking the lenses, and it is hard to find cameras designed for claws.

All righty…random question. I’ve often wanted to email/IM/ICQ someone from the board. Do y’all mind if a semi-lurker like me does that? Just wondering…

Is vanillanice still around? I thought she was stalking me for a week or two. But I haven’t heard from her in a while, so i guess I’m out of the clear.

I’ve never been anyone’s sig before. I like it! 🙂

Strainger - Nice try, buddy 🙂 . It wasn’t Brad Pitt’s picture, it was his _name_.

The signature was something like this (I’ll remove personal information):

## NAME (BradPitt) E-MAIL ADDRESS CITY, STATE, USA

Pluto said: “I can’t post my usual e-mail address because it looks like this: [my.full.name@mycompany.com](mailto:my.full.name@mycompany.com) and I’d have to surrender too much anonymity to use it.”

Sunbear said: “you can use Bigfoot, I think its just [www.bigfoot.com](http://www.bigfoot.com) and it allows you to bounce that e mail(to it) to your office.”

Thanks Sunbear. I, like Pluto, had the same problem with my work e-mail address. I just registered at Bigfoot to get the e-mail address. The forwarding thing works great, and now I can have my e-mail address viewable on my profile.

Thanks Again!

I’ve gotten a few emails here, and I’m flattered by the personal attention. Any of y’all that wanna drop me a line, feel free.

I’m also a regular in [hearme.com](http://hearme.com) (A.K.A [mplayer.com](http://mplayer.com)) as Sealemon.

## I use ICQ, but I hesitate to give my number until I’ve gotten to know somebody.

Orangecakes, It just kinda seemed odd when I got emails telling me I’ve stolen your heart, but you know… I get that _all_ the time. To be honost, you’re the only person from the SD to email me.

Well, like Drain Bead, I’m extra creative. I’m voguevixen on IM and voguevixen on Gooey, and although I tried ICQ and found it all confusing so deleted it, if I sign up again, I’ll most likely be voguevixen. Now that is some kinda bad sentence structure! Apologies!

CowGod – you neglected to mention if you’re on any chat programs. Hmmm?

In case anyone cares, you can reach me as Kleinow338 on AIM. So far, I’ve only talked to Satan on AIM. That would be funny to explain to Grandma…

Her: “So, who do you talk to on this internet thingy?”  
Me: “Oh, no one… I talked to Satan once, but…”  
Her: “SATAN!? AAAGGGHHH!!”  
Me: “No, not THAT Satan, the one from the Straight Dope–”  
Her: “Dope!? Satan!? You’re doing drugs and talking to the devil! And it’s all on the curséd Internet!!! AAAGGGHHH!!”
