Hey **Ginger** , since it appears my last arrow bounced off your armor… Lesse… (rummaging through the quiver of Canadian-related flirt lines) Hmm… polar bears? already been done… penguins? No, that’s the frozen _south_… Mounties? Hmmm, has potential, but I’d bet it’s been done more than once. maple leafs? I’ve not got the foggiest idea how to make that work. tundra? Don’t want to be compare a lady to a frozen wasteland… Doggone it, the Instructor would probably tell me right now that I’m trying too hard. 'course it’s taken so much time that I’ve lost the lady’s attention, and anyway I’d most likely not be heard over the Verrain/hardygrrl slap-and-tickle fest. Alright, I’ll just use the tried-and-true. **Ginger** , :)[sup]How YOU doin?[/sup] ---

…and there you have it. As I was wracking my tired brain for a scintilla of wit, the contest is called while I’m still clearing the first turn. All on account o’ me learning German in HS rather than French. Yeah, I should have remembered all those famous German romantics. :rolleyes: C’est la guerre… ---

\ Well, with your looks, it’s no wonder **VB** didn’t even notice I said anything to him. And he never offered to show _me_ his etchings. _pout_ I’ve not been ignored by the men on this board quite so completely in a long time. Guess I’m losing my touch. ☹ At least **lurker** noticed me, even if he didn’t want to flirt with me. ---
