Hi Myrr was wondering were you wnet.
Osip
::pokes head in::
Jeez. You guys still doing that Stubborn thread thing?
Poor slythe.
Sure audrey… want to pull my finger?
Osip
Pulls up a lawn chair and plants it right next to Moe
What’s up bud… mind if I have a beer?
Uhhh… I’ll decline.
And don’t pull on mine- I got a burn on my right index finger from cooking yesterday. Owch.
Wow, I know a veteran of the cooking wars; did you get a purple heart? 
Actually, what am I talking about–I am one myself (I set the oven on fire. It wasn’t my fault though).
No Purple Heart, just a purple blister! I didn’t realize the dutch oven was still hot. Oh, was it…
By the way, I bet you I’m the most unstubborn person here.
Boy, slythe is gonna hate me for sure if that thread gets started…
Sure, sure, that’s what they all say!
Look, I’m very stubborn; stubborn as a pissed off mule on a Monday morning. Really…grahhhh
Ok, ok, I’m not. Persistant maybe, but I’m not sure that’s the same thing. That, and all it takes is an attractive women to make me cave (see how I’m admitting this once * you * post…lose the contest for me, will ya? ;)).
I’m such a push-over sigh
heh 
And it really wasn’t my fault that there were two foot flames leaping out of the oven…really. The almonds were toasting one minute, flaming the next (no toaster oven, and this had worked before). A some water took care of it. However, it got me out of years of having to cook dinner–leaving me free to do it when I felt like it. 
It’s an act. I can tell.
Heh heh!
Aww! But at least now we can watch everyone else duke it out!
::mental note:: Try this at home.
I guess this is my official resignation from this contest, I’ve been exposed for the fraud that I am…oh well.
pulls up lawn chairs
Care for a set?
Well, if you * must, * it was set on “broil”…took a few minutes. It’s quite a sight. 
errr, that would be “care for a seat?”

Thank you kindly, dear. Care for a soft drink?
Oh! Your Freudian slip is showing! 
Who shall we cheer for? Osip’s been here for quite a while, hasn’t he?
Hey! No peeking at my Freudian slip…(well, if you insist ;))
Yeah, I think we have to root* for Osip on this one…
::searching through fruit bowl::
kiwi?
*whether I mean the American Englsih or British English sense of this is up to you 
Thank you! 
Hmmm…
Thanks. Never had a kiwi before, actually. Are they good?
Oh COOL! I got another quote for that Mel Blanc thread that I can use here:
Okay, okay, it was supposed to be “Bugs Bunny” in place of “Osip”…
never had a kiwi? Well, it’s green inside, just a little squishy (if just ripe), and nice and sweet too (just like you ;)). Now go find yourself a kiwi 
I will! I think my grandma has some.
Where did all the stubborn people go to? OSIP!! Where are you?!
Thanks Myrr and Audrey.
At least I am the most popular of the stubborn people.
enjoy your kewi I need to get to work.
Osip
Not at all. Please, allow me to pour. Is Guiness OK? Sierra Nevada? Please just don’t say ‘Bud’.
