To the real matt\_mcl, not the fake-ass POS:

Thanks for the advice. I wasn’t planning on making any new names, since if I wanted to repsond with another SN I’d have to log back in and play all sorts of games. I’d rather know actual people believe in me or agree with me than to have to make someone else up for that.

I’ve also developed a reputation here I’d rather not sully using a fake name.

Anyway, back to sex.

[aside] When was the last time anyone let me do that?[/aside]

Thirsty4 asks:

But is Satan a gentleman?

‘The prince of darkness is a gentleman:  
Modo he’s called, and Mahu.’  
– King Lear, III. iv.

Shakespeare said it, I believe it, that settles it.

I’m not sure Shakespeare concluded he was a gentleMAN:

“Master, is this Mistress Satan?”  
“It is the devil.”  
–The Comedy of Errors, Act 4, scene iii

Fretful Porpentine, please be careful:

“What, man! 'tis not for gravity to play at cherry-PIT  
with Satan”  
–Twelfth Night, Act 3, scene iv (emphasis added)

“Please allow me to introduce myself  
I’m a man of wealth and taste”

From [Sympathy for Satan](http://sasquatch.dannyland.org/~dannyman/lyrics/sympathy.html) by the Rolling Stones

The Stone said it, and I believe it. I believe Shakespeare, too. And Cecil – because all three have gotten me laid.

The SDMB, however… not even close.

As for [Satan](http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/german/leute/devil/histories.html)… well, if he’s ever gotten me laid, I’ve never been able to prove it. Though there were a few times in the 80’s…

{BTW, imapunha, since none of these louts seem to want to explain our coyness to a June2000 registrant: Satan and Drain Bead just celebrated five weeks of wedded bliss. Does taht answer your OP?]

KP:

Well, now we know of two dopers who are laying and such, but . . .

1. Did they meet on the SDMB? If so they qualify.

2. Dare I ask what they do when they ain’t postin’, or shall I assume the nasty has been performed?

I’d type more, but this machine is going more slowly than dirt in New England.

Only in my dreams…

(KP, I think Satan and Drainy are engaged not married… I’m sure they’re wkeeping themselves pure until the wedding 😉 )
