Ok, first of all, my most humble of thanks go to **Monster** , and **Eve** for their votes and kind words on my behalf. **Monster** , you are also fast becoming one of my favorite posters here. **Eve** , you are just too cool for school, girlfriend! When I saw that you had posted a reply, I was all prepared to come in here and immediately admit defeat. Color me blushing when I saw that you not only didn’t enter, but cast your vote my way. **JohnLarrigan** , you get my thanks as well, and wholeheartedly, but not humbly because you also voted for 2 other Hags. When you can make up your mind, let me know. 😉 **slythe** , you sexy, handsome, moderator extraordinaire! I must say that of all the new moderators in new forums, you are head and shoulders above all the rest. If there were an Oscar for moderators, there wouldn’t even be any other nominees. You’d simply run the catagory. **XXOO** slythe **OOXX** And for the talent portion of the competition, I shall sing a song dedicated to one of the judging panel… **soulsling** you make my soul sing You make everything Groovy! I said, soulsling soulsling, I think I love you But I wanna know for sure Come on, hold me tight soulsling you make my soul sing You make everything Groovy! soulsling, I think you move me But I wanna know for sure Come on, hold me tight You move me! As for the rest of you ladies, I see we have a bunch of rank amateurs in the running. Sheesh. Long, floppy tits; toilet paper-stuffed braziers; float burners; y’all are pathetic. **Pink Slinky** , you do not have an orgasm simply by ooh ooh’ing. Take a lesson from a pro. It goes like this: _ **Oh God! I’m cumming!!** _ Practice makes perfect. **Odieman** , I’ll start the bidding at 1,000 redhot kisses. ---

**AHEM** , Arnold, I KNOW your reading comprehension is better than that. Try looking again… “I must say that of all the new moderators **in new forums** , you are head and shoulders above all the rest.” You are not a new moderator **in a _new_ forum**! But you most certainly _ **are** _ my favorite chocolate-bearing, hemp-wearing moderator of all time!! EVER!! {{{{{Arnold}}}}} ---

Shayna, who said anything about my titties being _floppy_? And if you have to actually _say_ your cumming, well then, your hips must be broken! Alas, again I say I cannot compete. Kissing up has never been my forte. Kudos Shayna, you are the master. ---

and so far the votes are: **Shayna** in the lead… \*\*Shayna - 7 (because… She don’t smoke, and she don’t chew and she don’t go with the boys who do! and her new sig…) OpalCat - 6 (because JohnLarrigan is so great…) SwimmingRiddles - 3 (because JohnLarrigan is so great…) Pink Slinky - 3 (on account of herself and being mammorilly gifted) Diane - 2 (Pigs Blood baby!!! oh yeah!)

Shayna has your vote, bringing her into the lead. I suppose **Slythe** , you now have one ass kisser nominee, what do you say to that? **Diane** , i’m going to have to take you up on that offer. My address will be en-route to your domain. You, my dear, are the rock-inest, coolest, downright most bodacious fighter i’ve seen yet in a woman. 🆒 **Pink Slinky** , i think you give up too easily, i’m gonna hold you in this contest with the hope that you come out of your slight let down with a big bang of a fight! 😉 you go girl! to all other contestants, good luck, _ **and may the official games begin!!!** _ ---

I cast my vote for **Shayna** , simply because she’s the only SD babe who’s flirted with me so far… (woohoo!) Of course, she’s a _bit fickle_… (yeah, I know, **Grace** , not exactly “Man Bites Dog”…) Shay na! Shay na! ---

But you understand, right? 😉 **soulsling** , I’m honored that you liked my talent submission so well ::Blushing:: It would appear as though it still didn’t sway your vote though. ☹ **xenophon** , I did more than just flirt with you. You are the only one here I’ve ever actually proposed marriage to! Not exactly “Man Bites Dog” indeed! _harumphf!_ But I do thank you for the vote, sweetie! And I’d still marry you if you were free! You kicked some butt in that topic. I was duly impressed! (Besides, I laughed my ass off at your closing comment; “…They **hate** that!”) ---

**Shayna** , i can’t count the amount of men (and possibly women?) you’ve flirted with. Therefore, as i am completely taken by your singing talent, and have even included it as my sig (though abbreviated for the sake of others), i am swayed by the offer of **Diane** , who has at least even allowed me to think i could even date her in my dreams possibly, and to only reflect my true character, i must stay strong in my stance as a good soldier does, i had placed my vote for **SwimmingRiddles** originally, and for her, my vote still stands. Though i don’t see her around lately, _(wonder what happened to her, hope she hasn’t fallen off the planet, we have a NY dopers-fest coming up soon)_. > [@](#): > > Oh yeah, and I haven’t even unrolled my claws yet. > > Did I mention a free pic of my breast with every postcard sent? > > Hey Shayna, your mom’s calling ya. - **Diane** now thats the type of hot blooded woman i like 😃 and so far the votes are: **Shayna** in the lead… \*\*Shayna - 8 (because… She don’t smoke, and she don’t chew and she don’t go with the boys who do! and her new sig…) OpalCat - 6 (because JohnLarrigan is so great…) SwimmingRiddles - 3 (because JohnLarrigan is so great…) Pink Slinky - 3 (on account of herself and being mammorilly gifted) Diane - 2 (Pigs Blood baby!!! oh yeah!)

**soulsling** , I’ll settle for the honorary spot in your sig line. Thanks! 😃 And not to diminish my gratitude for the votes, but I think you may have miscounted mine. By my calculation, even if you count me as voting for myself (which I didn’t necessarily do, but don’t mind if you count it that way), I have a total of 7 votes, not 8. billyt123, me (I guess), Monster104, JohnLarrigan, Eve, DRY & xenophon41. I might be guilty of eye poking or foot stomping, but I never want to be accused of cheating. 🙂 **Diane** , your mamma! 😉 **DRY** , thank you kindly for your vote, my friend. It is much appreciated.
