Gee, I think the only other time my username was in the opening line of a thread, it was in the Pit. _(FTR, There is, indeed, a Deb, but she doesn’t really like message boards and has never posted to any MB where tomndebb has appeared.)_ And since everyone must believe in something, I believe I’ll have a beer. ---

I must find out who these pale-clad warriors are. Oh, and I believe that every female Doper is positively charming and wonderful, and that I have absolutely no shame for saying so. 😃 ---

I firmly believe you’ll have better luck looking up _ **N** ights in White Satin_ by the **Moody Blues**. 🙂 ---

I believe that **Mercutio** is a thirty-something slacker upon whom Wayne of “Wayne’s World” is based. I believe **Francesca** has a closet full of Laura Ashley dresses and giggles a lot. I believe that **Barbarian** has a “The Rock”-style hairdo. I believe that **Astroboy** has a secret Calvin and Hobbes fetish. I believe that **Fenris** is actually Harvey Weinstein’s twin brother. I believe that **Esprix** is overcompensating for his latent heterosexuality, and will come to a shocked and tearful self-realization in about three years’ time. I also believe he rocks. I believe that **LaurAnge** is a big fan of The Smiths, but is afraid to say so because none of her friends have heard of them. She also drinks Guinness and likes cheese on toast. I believe that **tatertot** can wiggle her ears in a delightfully alluring fashion. I believe **Upham** is actually an Underground station in East London. I believe that **FairyChatMom** stalks the streets at night, fighting crime and righting wrongs, armed only with a pair of needle-nosed pliers and a cast-iron frying pan. I believe that **Anthracite** has a tattoo of Camille Paglia’s face on the sole of her left foot. I believe I haven’t the slightest idea what the hell I’m talking about. ---

:eek: Fairy wings? Laura Ashley dresses and giggles? I hope you’re kidding **jr8** my man. You can see from the link my sig, I’m a saucy tomboy 😉 On my part… I believe that **WickedBlue** really is as wicked as her name suggests. 😉 I believe that **CrankyAsAnOldMan** always posts while wearing tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt while Cranky Junior sings and bangs things loudly in the background surrounded by a vast array of incredibly complicated research papers. I believe that **Astroboy** would give fantastic cuddles. I believe that **Woodstockbirdybird** has a shelf in her house with folders of the best pit rants, all with ticks and crosses and grades which she consults on a regular basis, comparing and contrasting notes in a ruthless and incredibly witty manner. I believe **jr8** wears fantastically well-cut suits during the day and his Batman cape at night. I believe I can fly. Fran ---

I believe that if **Arden Ranger,** **hardygrrl** , and **Mauvaise** ever _did_ get together that their combined sexiness would generate a vortex to which all men on the planet would be inexplicably drawn. I believe I would give my right arm to be near enough to listen in when **Arden** and **Persephone** actually do get together for lunch. I believe **TruePisces** is sorely missed. I believe that **Eve** personifies class so well that she is the only Manhattan ivory-tower publishing company denizen I’d go out of my way for the chance to meet. I believe that **Sengkelat** has a hidden camera somewhere in my house. I believe that **Searching for Truth** makes hordes of female fans irrelevant. 😉 ---

It’s a _Superman_ cape, but otherwise spot on. I believe that **Annie Xmas, Superdude** and **Obsidian Flutterby** are all the same person. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > I believe that Astroboy has a secret Calvin and Hobbes fetish. :eek: No I don’t, **jr8**! I swear it! It’s **Astrogirl** , really!!! (let’s conveniently ignore the fact that my Calvin and Hobbes tie is among the more popular with my students… second only to the tie depicting Homer standing in his red underwear while shaving…) > [@](#): > > I believe that Astroboy would give fantastic cuddles. Well, **Fran** , you’ll never know unless you take a little trip to Korea (hint, hint);)… Furthermore, I believe: **Fran** needs to be cuddled! **jr8** dances like a fiend, and looks damn good doing so! **tatertot** is small, but quite delicious! Especially with lots of katsup!😃 **Fenris** comes in a safe, Nerf form if you order it special… **MrO** isn’t all he’s cracked up to be, in the O dept. [sup]if you know what I mean![/sup] **jarbabyj** is a fetus living in a jar in someone’s basement, and is mysteriously posting from there! **Sublight** is actually moving VERY slowly (in relativistic terms, anyhow). **Podkayne** is a closet Heinlein fan. **BunnyGirl** is aptly named… you just know she \*\*\*\*s like a Bunny!😛 **FairyChatMom** regularly pops into chat rooms to help the naive and helpless defend themselves from trolls. **Javamaven** is wasting her talents making coffee. **Morrison’s Lament** has an Asian-girl fetish at least as bad as mine! **Euty** laughs himself to sleep every night, knowing that no one can pronounce his name… **Coldfire** is blissfully unaware of what we’re doing while he’s away! ---

I believe that while posting **Astroboy** is wearing bright blue tights, a stained undershirt, and a beach towel held around his neck by a clothes pin. I believe that **Bumbazine** would never argue about picking up the check in a fine dining establishment. I’m certain that **screech-owl** not only does not screech, but that she has a soothing, melodious voice. And I believe that if some of the young 'uns who post here were my kids, they’d not be posting… they’d be outside getting fresh air and sunshine and not spending their days staring at that screen… ummmm, I believe I was just channeling my mother… ---
