Although I’m a piss poor online flirt I can only be honored by such sweet sentiment.

Thanks **ssskuggiii** , you’re too kind.

Ah, sweet **ssskuggiii**! I am flattered. Beyond flattered, in fact, to think that you would find my trousers to be of such interest and intrigue as to warrant this most gracious proposal. To think that I might find a place at you side and in your bed among the ranks of **Zenster, Corvus, Hypergirl, Iampunha, Monster104, Nocturne, Sanibelman Sk8rixtx,** and **Zero Hero** is near unthinkable and beyond my bravest dreams. . .

But I wonder . . .

With all your ample attentions and affections delivered among your many adoring mates, could I ever find all the time that I require to bask in the light of your beauty and revel in the knowledge that I am yours and you mine?

No, I think it best not to take vows that would bind you to me while I question my power and right to hold you. Rather, if you will have me, I will be first among your favorite courtesans – available at a moment’s notice to serve every whim, dream or desire without demand of your visions, ambitions or vowed affections.

Thus shall I best serve – Virtual Courtesan of the SDMB as first commissioned by my dearest **ssskuggiii**.

BTW, how old are you?

Say, I am doing my taxes, and I just wondered if my marriages to Eutychus55, iampunha, evilbeth and Persephone entitle me to any special tax exemptions?

Yes. You get a tax exemption of (I think) $2,500 for having four kids.

Okaaay, and **blessedwolf** blindsided me, bypassing this thread and proposing to me [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=53920).

Sounds good. **Odieman** , do you mind?  
Hey wait, you never actually asked…

:sigh: be a gentleman and look what happens, what ever you think is the best Screech, but remember I will be the one whos eyes won’t glaze over when you talk about your latest sighting or your latest theatrical effort. Remember if you are interested I would be honoured to be virtually married to you.

And I do! I didn’t mean you were old, and if I were to say that it would not be as an insult.

I meant it as a joke, inasmuch as sometimes spouses can act like children.
