I’m not. But, as with most of the woman on the board, I wouldn’t mind a bit o’ boffin’ with bear! {Mr. Bear _is_ still deployed, right?} ---

VB, my dear. You’re really trying to get me into trouble, aren’t you? Don’t play the innocent with _me_! I’ve known you far too long \ to believe that. 😛 Ok,Ok. For the record, once again. I am married to Mr Bear, and have been for more than…well…a long time, let’s say. 😉 Now, if we’re strickly talking fantasies… \ \ Nahhh…I’d better not. That would **really** get me into trouble! :eek: Let’s just say that even while gone, I did find \ time to check out the people pages. _Whew!_ Drool… Chief, my dear. _BLUSH_ What a compliment. Thank you! Too bad I can’t come to Norfolk to meet you IRL. And, yes, he’s still deployed, for many, many more months. \ I sure _hope_ not, Sue! \ ---

I’m not married to purplebear, but I do lust after her (and someone else) with the fiery passion of a thousand white-hot suns. Really, I do 😉 ---

I might be. Some of our flirting has crossed the line into shotgun marriage territory. ---

I don’t think I am. But, I got really drunk and can’t remember much of Saturday night, so you never know. ---

Falcon, my friend, I’m glad you’re not. 😉 Chief. What can I say? You’re incorrigible \ _wink_ iampunha.

I can say with reasonable certainty that I am not married to purplebear. ---

I’m not married to PurpleBear. Not anymore. Oh, wait – I need a ruling. The woman I was married to _was_ a bear, but she wasn’t purple. Except for this one time when my hands were around her neck. But according to my parole officer she got her normal color back shortly after the cops showed up. Does that count? ---

Let’s look at this logically. PurpleBear - -never tells me when she spends money -never asks me for input on a decision -never fixes dinner for me -never has sex with me Yep. We’re married. ---

I don’t believe that I’m married to PurpleBear. But then again, thanks to tequila consumption, there is that “missing year” in my life, so who knows for sure. ---
