Silly Mr. Cynical. I’ve spent the last few years building up an immunity to Spanish Fly. (boy were those years fun, though) Fun story, my sister insisted for a long time that the line in Ironic: “It’s a black fly in your chardonnay” was “It’s Spanish Fly in your chardonnay.” She still grumbles about “My version was more ironic, anyway, you Canadian whiner…” So what time is the luau? (easy lei joke there…) ---

I get to lei everyone! When I was doing promotional crap for a radio station, we had an event at a bar, at which the local rescue squad was having some sort of celebration. We also had a get leied contest, where you have to walk around the room and ask people directly for a lei. That rescue squad sure as hell could party. But they had to leave at 11:00, because “We need 4 hours ‘sober time.’” I prayed I didn’t get in an accident on the way home that night… ---

This may be the most exclusive thread I have ever seen. Frankly, that is all the more reason for Swiddles to get raunchy and send pictures. It makes perfect sense if you ask me. ---

Ah, everyone knows the raunchy picture line only works on newbies. And people who got higher than a freakin’ 17% on the slut test. I am ashamed. However, I feel like [celebrating.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=29066) Who’s with my on the margaritas? Ah, hell, who am I kidding, soul saw how I put away the Jack and Cokes at the Doperfest, just hand me the tequila bottle. Ole! ---

Sure, you just HAD to go post that in the laminated list thread, didn’t ya? After I offered to make you an honest fella out of you? Where’s the commitment? Soul, I think you’re ::gasp:: posting around! Hey, guys, anyone seen Cyn lately? I’m [worried](Sure, you just HAD to go post that in the laminated list thread, didn’t ya?

Sorry, I was just over in the bushes, preparing this lovely feast for all of you. Here, partake of the sliced coconut meat, and the lovely passionfruit jelly I’ve made to spread upon this Hawaiian bread! I’m working on cold cuts, I just have to finish chasing down that wild pig. In the meantime, go for it, there’s more to come! ---

oh, and when and where did you try to make an honest man out of me **swiddles** dear? i’ve always been an honest man. **Mr.Cynical** , i do believe you’ve eaten too many mushrooms, but pass the passion fruit spread this way, i think i’m gonna rub swiddles back with it. 😃 Honest man indeed. 😉 ---

By ‘honest’, I was referring to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=27633&pagenumber=3) post. I was attempting to refer to my “marriage proposal” by changing the normally feminine tense of the phrase “I’ma gonna make an honest woman outta ya, uh-yup.” to a masculine tense. One can most often hear this phrase used in it’s native environment, a trailer park, usually spoken by a big man in a tiny t-shirt to his no-teeth-showin’ chickadee. Unfortunately, I fear that I did not suceed. Another Swiddles joke that only amused Swiddles. ::sigh:: However, I am most pleased with Cyn’s recon efforts. I think I’ll make a batch of frozen girly drinks with the coconut, passionfruit and tequila in my blender constructed of clam shells and a vine. Anyone want to compromise their masculinity and try one? ---

But for a girly drink, my soul was lost to her. ::sliding on over:: How about hooking me up with something cold and tasty? ::curls tongue into a straw:: Mmmmmmmmy! Frost-a-licious! ---

Mully comes wandering in… Hi guys. Sorry I haven’t been hanging in the day long luau. I just decided to wander the island. I certainly didn’t find a hidden tribe of amazonian supermodels that aren’t hideously waifish. And I certainly haven’t spent all day covered in cocunut juice surrounded by said supermodels that aren’t hideously waifish. Nope, just looking at lizards and trees. ---

Mully, are you still in a funk? We can’t have that on the Isle of Fun. I’m making you one frozen drink that will knock the socks off your funk. We’re talking beating that funk George Clinton style. How does that sound, hon? ---

First of all, I am amazed to learn that my funk wears socks. I would have assumed my funk lived in a state of perpetual nakedness. Second, my funk has lifted. I am slightly under the weather, but that’s probably from the exertion I was using today hanging out with the Amazonian…er, I mean walking around the island. Finally, fix me up Swiddles, and make it icy. ---
