Well, as we all know, the naked female body is a work of art, while the naked male body is hairy, lumpy, and should not be seen by the light of day… (Matt Groening paraphrase)

_sniff_ Apparently nothing. That “getting drunk” suggestion is starting to sound better.

I’ve never been to Florida, or been on a sailboat, so of course I’m intrigued if you were being at all serious. Unfortunately, obligations here in Michigan would make that rather difficult any time in the near future. Guess I’ll have to settle for the chocolates…

You are more than welcome! You were kind enough to answer my questions. [Still working on those statistics, though. :(]

At least people are looking at my ‘rat’ thread in GQ, even if no one is answering it. ☹

I was going to bring some Camembert, but the guy at the store said it was runny. Same with the Brie and the Gouda. Odd.

**FairyChatMom** , I’ll be your friend, even without the Godiva. But I’ll have one anyway. 🙂 Thank you.  
:takes one:  
:munch:  
Yum.

The trick to name recognition is being obnoxious or horny.

Luckily, I stumbled upon the perfect ratio of both!

Actually they’re ignoring my pitiful one page thread in favor of Dinsdale’s “Who does NOBODY want to meet?” thread.

And they’ve even got flirting going on over there.

I would like to meet you vanilla… one of my first posts I remember posting to your orangecakes nick in someone elsed thread… I think in GQ… twas a religious post, (was… “red sky at night, sailors delight… red sky in morning, sailor take warning” and I found out where that came from in the bible.) …anyway, I remember that. I was B\_Line12 then.

Nearly 1,100 posts and I’ve never made any sort of impression on anybody, as far as I can tell. I did get mistaken for Scarlett once, though.

You are sooooooooo full of shit. Everybody knows you and loves you!!!

People just kind of wince when they see my posts and pretend it didn’t exist.

Well, I have it half right. Unfortunately, it’s the first half.

**mrblue92** , while searching for lyrics I happened across the reason you are so mopey. Apparently, you are a major puss. 😉

MR. BLUE

I’m mister Blue  
When you say you love me  
Then prove it by goin’ out on the sky  
Provin’ your love isn’t true  
Call me mister Blue

I’m mister blue  
When you say you’re sorry  
Then turn around headin’ for the lights of town  
Hurtin’ me thru and thru  
Call me mister Blue

I stay at home at night  
Right by the phone at night  
But you won’t call and I won’t hurt my pride  
Call me mister I won’t tell you

While you paint the town  
A bright red to turn it upside down  
I’m painting it too but I’m painting it blue  
Call me mister Blue

There’s also the Yaz song by the same name…

I’m Mr. Blue  
I’m here to stay with you  
and no matter what you do  
when you’re lonely - I’ll be lonely too.

And, I, too, am largely ignored here. Not that it really matters, though. Most of my posts are in GQ or GD. I am of the firm opinion that _everything_ in my life is too mundane and pointless even for MPSIMS. I rarely get worked up enough to bother with the Pit (and I’m largely inoffensive besides). And my opinions aren’t worthy of IMHO.

Since my post count is less than 300, I certainly can’t compete with many of the invisible long-timers here. But, in time, I’m sure I will fade gloriously into utter anonymity!

And **Broken Doll** , I noticed both of your posts here. So nyaaah 😛

I think most of you are full of shit as far as this thread goes.

I’ve been lurking on this board for over a year and posting here for several months and there are very few of you whose names don’t instantly ring a bell.

I think you’re all great posters and I enjoy every thread here. A lot of times I don’t chip in my two cents worth because I feel insignificant in the face of such worldly people.

Surely you folks passed that stage long ago, didn’t you?

I just wanted to add that serveral of you are some of my more favorite posters. Lunasea, MisterEcks, Colfire, Cal, and on. (Not that any of you recoginise me, but I let that one slide. I’m here for my own entertainment.)

I don’t think it is a matter of people knowing you, or even liking you. (Stop looking listfully at the flirting in the nobody wants to meet thread.) You people are simply considered slightly serious and thus not up for massive flirting, which is the entire purpose of the popularity threads. You guys are good. I, at the very least, enjoy what you post.

So Love, Hugs and hand the red whine this way please. Please?

I was going to say something along the same lines as **Medea’s Child** , but got distracted by the Godivas. (Many thanks, **FairyChatMom**!) You’ve given me a lot of information and stuff to think about. You folks are not anonymous in my eyes. I wouldn’t be here if you were.

Yea, that first song is part of the reason I started using this id about 4 years ago (not for SDMB obviously). And since I’m from Michigan (Go Blue!) well, it seemed to fit. Doesn’t mean I’m _always_ blue…

All your time spent in GQ? You’re suddenly tops with me.  
That’s what I come for first. It’s like the morning paper, with topics you didn’t think of before and now you can’t wait to see how everything turns out. “Content” in webspeak.

Two thirds of a grand. Enough to be an expert, not enough to be jaded.
