Thanks for the link Argh!

... psst... Rika, why is he pinging us to pot threads?

[Texan5]

I do believe that pirate is in dire need of shore leave and female company!

[Texan5]

Thanks, Argh. This is one time I hope these men sue the city over the officers' conduct. I don't think it would be frivolous at all.

[SeaDragon]

Oh yes, for sure. A long bout of shore duty would be nice............

[Argh]

I know some of you would never forgive me if I didn't ping you to to Miss Sea's picture in reply # 157.

[Xenalyte]

AAAAAAAIEEE! MY EYES!

Darn it, there were only two farmers there today who were under the age of 80 - and they both hit me with their canes......... so I struck out.......

[Argh]

What on earth did you do to them to require them to hit you with their canes??

P.S. We guys strike out all the time, but how embarrassing is it for a beautiful woman to strike out? Sheesh, Miss Why, you're letting down the distaff side here!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ok - today I was shopping in Allentown....... I realized I had purchased alcohol, blueberry, cinnamon, and chocolate bagels and cream cheese; chips and salsa and several kinds of bread. I told the girl with me that if we got stopped for any reason, they were immediately going to assume I was high and had the munchies! lol

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Just goes to show you how bad off I am, when I can't even entice a 75 year old man.............. I'm pathetic.........

[Argh]

Don't feel bad, 75 year old men aren't worth enticing. Problems requiring the assistance of Viagra tend to start in men at an average age of 50, so the 75-year-old knew it would just be frustrating, so why should he bother?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

As the picture (post #157) was slowly loading, I saw his face and thought - so?.....then his chest and stomach and thought - ok, what's the big deal about this guy?............

Then, the picture finished loading......... and I had my answer...........

[CholeraJoe]

Get with the program girlfriend. You're on yesterday's thread.

BTW until I saw it I didn't realize there were Jewish pirates.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oy Vey, tell it to Argh! He's the one who pinged me........What, you've never seen the Broadway play, "Pirates of Rosencrantz"?

[SeaDragon]

Then, the picture finished loading......... and I had my answer...........

ROFLMAO!

[NeoCaveman]

Get with the program girlfriend. You're on yesterday's thread.

This is the wrong classroom, isn't it?

Thought you just said you didn't know how to seduce (any age) men?

Step one. Bring munchies.

Step two. Remove remaining wraps .....

(On the munchies ...... What "did" you think I was thinkin' of ????)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

On the munchies ...... What "did" you think I was thinkin' of ????)

Why, I KNEW you meant stuff that goes with beer and football, of course.........duh...........
