[gratuitous self-plugging] Well, fellahs, seems the fighter pilot hasn’t been reached yet. No big deal. . . That picture will be up for a bit longer, just so the ladies can see what they’re getting. Ooop, gotta run, the President is on the other line. [/gratuitous self-plugging] Tripler That pic was taken back in '97. I’ve grown up some since then. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by handy \* > Sure they look hot, but can they post? You know, handy, I’m glad you asked. As a hot man with the language skills of a thalidomyde baby raised by wolves, I’m often called upon to answer that very question. The truth is, I haven’t the mental acumen to correctly identify the power button on my computer, much less contribute to any online discussion forum in a coherent manner. That’s why I use the Postbot 5000™. It formulates responses to posts I arbitrarily choose based on thought processes so psychotically byzantine as to defy linguistic interpretation, formulates a response in the style I’ve preselected, entirely by accident, from the handy dropdown-menu interface, and posts it to the boards. And all this for three easy payments of $49.95. Postbot 5000™: No vapid Adonis should surf the web without it. Order yours today. ---

Someone should start a thread “Doper Men that Gay Dopers Think are Hot”. Or not. I have my picks, but I don’t know if I’d contribute them regardless. Maybe I’ll just start an “Ask the Fat Gay Guy” thread… jayjay ---

Exhibit A: **VenusGirlTrap** Here we have a college freshman female, obviously intelligent (she’s a Doper) and who, judging from her photos, wouldn’t be tossed out of 99.9% of male beds for eating crackers. And what is she doing? Trolling (not in the bad way) this board for dates!! Gah! The infamy! College was the only time in my life where sex/romance/relationships/drunken making-out was the norm rather than the exception.[sup]1[/sup] If **VGT** has been reduced to on-line flirting with frustrated DoperGuys, I weep for this generation.

Any of the guys on here that I’ve talked to can confirm that I’m not here looking for dates. And although I find (most) college boys boring and predictable, Friday and Saturday nights are full of all of those things that you described. ---

I seriously doubt that a poster with Sua’s charm and tact, if he ever did actually believe you were trolling for dates, would actually say so on the boards. Not directly, anyway. 🙂 Besides, people put out thread-starters that don’t necessarily conform in all particulars to actual events. It’s just a way to start an interesting conversation. So even if I, personally, did feel like our OP sounded like “trolling for dates”, I’d probably assume you were just hypotheticking (what? why’s jarbaby the only one allowed to make up words?:)), y’know? jayjay ---
