Of course I agree. 😃 Can I bring **Really Not All That Bright**?

Hooray! The more the merrier. But the question has to be asked. Now that we’re part of **harmless** ’ harem, the old double H, it must be asked?

What side of the bed do you sleep on? 😃

Bed?  
We don’t need no stinkin’ bed!  
They usually just collapse from the weight of the orgy, anyways. 😉  
No sir! A room full of pillows, some massage oils, incense, lava lamps, feathers, and an array of toys and house boys/girls is all we need. 😛

And a hot tub, and cabana boys, and whips, and candles, and a bear skin rug, and whipped cream, and fresh fruits and oooooh, I’m getting either hungry or horny. 😃

I’m not fussy. I fall asleep where ever I end up after night time ‘activities’. 😃

This is an important occasion and one that must be held in the highest regard. My words must be chosen with absolute precision.

I thought I already agreed to be part of **Swampy’s** harem. It was the only way **Bumbazine** and I could get his credit card for a raid on the hobby shop… 😃

**Swampy,** what about burly men bearing beer, cookies, and oriental appetizers?

Depends. Does it include sushi? Especially unagi. 😛 It’s the closet smiley we got for smacking/licking lips.

Let’s see, now. **Heloise** ran me off **Coldfire**. **Master Wang-Ka** said yes, but I’d have to move to (shudder) Texas. Oh, well. **Siege** will have me, and that’s mighty fine.

Now, what about **harmless’s** harem? If it includes **swampbear** and sushi – heck, you should leave out **swampy** if there’s unagi, so i can hog it all to myself 😛 – I accept!

I must confess, though: I no longer offer two horses and eight cats as part of the deal. No, I’m down to a mere seven cats, having taken my hissing/pissing little feral to be a barn cat. Still, isn’t that enough to fulfill the bestiality quotient?

I must point out that the horses have some rather pointed comments to make on the subject of ticks. I’ve assured them that **nocturnal\_tick** has no designs on their virtue, or even their blood, but they remain :dubious: .

Official harmless harem:  
**congodwarf  
nocturnal\_tick  
kittenlm  
Hal Briston  
AngelicGemma  
emekthian  
EddyTeddyFreddy + her seven cats**

Now who wants a tummy rub?! 😛

**+ swampbear + ancient Japanese art of self-defense** 😉

And **swampbear** should be first in line for tummy rubbing, for being accidentally excluded in the previous post.

Don’t worry, **swampy** , I practice on my cats all the time! 😃
