I sure hope she doesn’t get to read this 😉

OK I want to chose **blue\_poop** but I’m sure she could do far better than me.

Awww, you’re sweet, **fizzy**! In addition to being gorgeous.

Fortunately, there’s every indication that Patrick is quite aware that he’s one very lucky man. 🙂

Feh. All the ones I’d want are either married, gay, or chicks.

Now, now, **Eve,** here’s something from the OP:

So “married” isn’t an issue, because this assumes the OTHER person is available, too…

I don’t know about “avidly” but the idea grosses me out to the Nth degree. Does that count?

pssssssssst… **Estilicon** … [sub]\*you can leave your hat on … \*[/sub]

I’d pick **whuckfistle**. 'Cause I love his truck. And I’m sure he has a very manly… fistle.

Now, my door don’t swing that way, but if it did, I’d have a hard time choosing between **bodypoet, Washte, deadlynightlight, and Gazelle**. 'Cause they’re magically babe-a-licious.

No, no… you misunderstand. I’m not married _yet_.

And I’m fairly sure I’m neither gay nor a chick. But I do have a happy rooster-- wait. How does that go again?

**Scylla**.

'Cause I read the post he wrote about his RL wife. I need someone who regards me like that. And I also studied judo.

My door don’t swing that way either, but I might consider it, especially since you’re, well, Queen of Lubricants.

Mucho preparado for the amor, baby. 😉 Awwww, yeah.

**Gazelle** , I’d say that’s close enough. And your reluctance to sushi-swing just put you on my list. 😉

I would have picked **Scylla** on the grounds that he’s got a great sense of humor, but he’s mean to poor innocent groundhogs…😃

So far the only other rodent loving Doper I can think of, offhand, is **Ratqueen** and after all I am **zooGIRL**.

Whoever I’d pick would have to be either a huge animal lover or extremely tolerent.

Well, **Euty,** of course. 😉

But, if for some reason, he were out of the picture, I’ve got a list as long as my arm of Dopers I’d marry.

Brains, wit, compassion, and just all-around kick-assedness. I know I’m missing a few, too, darn it, but my brain is fried. 😃
