Well, I am here to entertain, after all.

I feel an obligation now to update for my loyal subscribers; Mary and I had a few drinks today and talked; she decided that she’s not getting back with the ex after all. We talked for a few hours over drinks and she is in many ways similar to Lauren, except she’s never been married and has no kids. She told me the tragic story about how she got engaged to someone way too quickly and has a wedding dress she hasn’t used from five years ago. She is also very book-smart (like Ashley) and I still find her interesting. I know Lauren and I aren’t exclusive, but sometimes people will say they aren’t exclusive and then they’ll get upset if the other party sees someone else. I really do care about Lauren and don’t want to make her feel badly, but Mary is interesting to me in a different way, we’re just going to hang out together tomorrow night, but I’m going to ask her out again, I think.

Now Cucks, when she says “boo,” it’s a term of endearment amongst the youth. She’s not trying to scare you.

Probably not, but [sneakbragging.com](http://sneakbragging.com) is available and he seems unlikely to run out of stream anytime soon.

Oh come on, you’ve already determined that women inspire fear within me; that ‘boo’ is gonna give me nightmares!

Thanks for checking for me. I was too busy distributing pamphlets declaring that I was banging (or porking, depending on locale) someone to check on that. But I would still go with stealth-bragging, so if you want to grab that one, go ahead.

If you really have a pathological need to respond to every single comment in the thread you should maybe give it a bit more thought and make the responses funny.

To be fair, the girl DID ask him for a hug – at least he was able to resist that.  
As for **Cuckoorex** , I don’t even know why he’s bothering with this thread anymore.

So is [dramaddiction.com](http://dramaddiction.com), which seems more fitting to me.

I tried to let it slide in the other thread. But you know what I think? I think you want a big black woman to turn you over her knee. That’s why you keep taunting me with your bastardization of the correct term, sneakbragging™. You want me to spank you. You weirdo.

But hey, whatever gets your motor running. Lemme get my belt.
