uh, Sarah - I was kidding… I haven’t time for the club thing. My life is so full now, there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Anyway, like Groucho, I wouldn’t want to belong to a club that would have me as a member. Sooooo, who’s got chocolate?? ---

I think **Nymysys** is onto something with the flirting thing. In my own case, I also figure it’s due to my tendency to be long winded and babbling. I just try to keep in mind that as things rise up, so must they fall, and this is true of threads as well. **kunilou** , you have my apologies in advance should this thread now die here. ---

My My! 45 posts in less than 3 hours. Thanks for the overwhelming response. Let’s review the hints on this board for building and maintaining a successful thread: 1. Have an entirely new topic that’s never been discussed before 2. Flame a veteran or two just to see what happens 3. Criticize fellow posters for stupid grammar mistakes (like the redundancy in point #1) 4. Have a best friend on the board to keep you from being lonely 5. Something about a parrot vs. a penguing, but I really couldn’t follow that hijack very well. And all this time I thought it might be my sig line. ---

And Nen on a plane right now, too. \ I thought two girls and three boys sounded PERFECT, dammit. See? What did I say? Bring up the sex and they come out of the woodwork! Well, the posse does, anyway. 😃 ---

I’m only posting to protest the bad rap herbal tea was given earlier in this thread. I’ve got 7 boxes of Celestial Seasonings in my desk drawer. And I’m not afraid to use them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ogre \* > \*\ ***oldscratch** , “FUCKING green” is Tagalog for “pink.” \*\* Well, I’m not Tagalog am I. I’m a MotherFucking Californian. And I know they’re green, cause my pills told me they were. Let’s see, who am I gonna trust? A dumbfuck who claims to know that I’m hugging a raggety ann doll, when everyone knows my preference for Wet Me Wendy, or my precious precious pills. Glorious pills, givers of life force. \*\* > [@](#): > > Man, this thread is a hijacking nightmare!

I’ll also do my best to do anything to resole any lingering doubts you might have regarding my gender. ---

Nymysis, What is a posse sammich anyway? Or should I not ask? And while I’m posting anyway I should note that no one inquired as to whether or not I did in fact appear in the mirror when I checked to see if I existed. Apparently I have a defective mirror because I’m more convinced than ever that I do not. Which really is quite a relief actually. Not existing really does free one from a great deal of responsibilty. And my posts can be much more rude in the future as they obviously don’t exist either and I don’t have to worry about harming anyone’s feelings. If I did exist I would like it pointed out that I’m not normally this odd. ---

Well, did you appear in the mirror? Did you even _fog_ the mirror? I’ve got the phone ready to call 911, just in case. Or a wooden stake, whichever one is appropriate. ---
