[hobbes1]

I would, but then she would be ruined for all other men, and I cannot in good conscience allow that.......

[xsmommy]

stop right there, he has cooties. no hugging.

[hobbes1]

I do not have cooties.

[Argh]

You mean now he gets a hug? Heck, lemme in line there!

XS, I'm sorry you're a hooker.

(Arms open)

Wait a sec, I don't think that came out right...

[RikaStrom]

I don't know about the first but the second scares me!

A+

[xsmommy]

nothing there to negate the fact that you are cootified. you would need a vaccination or at least a thorough spraying with cootie spray before i would allow you to embrace me.

[xsmommy]

arghy i will hug you w/o spray bc you have never been anything but nice to me : )

[Argh]

Oh, so now you're a PICKY hooker...

[xsmommy]

quick, take it back!

[Gabz]

You're mean.

[Argh]

Uh oh, I think I just messed that up. Oh, well, you know I just tease and don't mean all that hooker stuff. Whatever it was he said :^) I'm sure hobbes doesn't mean anything awful either.

[Argh]

Qucik, see # 411! And teach me how to spell "quick"!

[VRWCmember]

oph is the only drunken sot who ever proposed, one sot doesn't an M.O. make! case closed.

The rest of them only asked for a one-nighter?

[xsmommy]

he took it back. hobbes, however, just disimulated and tried to explain away his insult, he never apologized or took it back, so he is still on my bad side.

[xsmommy]

i have never ever told a single soul vast, why would you confess right here out in the open.... ?

[Argh]

Didn't know you had a bad side.

There, xs, paste that in your hat, a real live compliment!

Please send me $10 U.S. for this lovely compliment.

[xsmommy]

: ), i will send $5. it is worth twice as much there!

[Argh]

Okie-doke!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Alright. This is getting silly now. For the record. XS is not a hooker nor does she practice the art of hooking men. Since XS doesn't want cooties, hobbes1 doesn't want to ruin her, and argh jest wants some action. Lets all stand in a circle and say, "I'm sorry to the person on our right."

[Conspiracy Guy]

Smokers and drinkers are arrogant people. I hate all of us.
