Subject: Personal Profiles... From: Bernard Date: 13 Jan 01 - 07:14 PM Perhaps a little silly, childish, or whatever, but it made me smile: This originally came to me in chain letter email form, but I thought it was better than most.

For those who don't understand HTML, the <br> characters are the linebreaks - at the beginning of a line to make life easier. Use your Mudcat name if you prefer, and answer only those questions you are comfortable with. Please try to resist looking at anyone else's before you post your own!!

Subject: RE: BS: Don't take this too seriously!! From: Homeless Date: 14 Jan 01 - 04:40 PM Kendall - yes, I do. Scanning back thru some of these it helps to round out ideas of a person's personality that I've only been able presume at bits and pieces of, based upon an individual's posts and reactions to others. Having seen you on this forum as a rather prominent name, I'd like to understand a bit more about you than what I could glean from the oft heated exchanges between you and Mbo. |

Subject: RE: BS: Don't take this too seriously!! From: Sorcha Date: 14 Jan 01 - 07:13 PM Broccoli is doing quite well, isn't it? (maybe we should put in Brussels Sprouts?) Sex seems popular even if overrated, Lots of dust bunnies and stuffed animals (live or otherwise) on Mudcat, 2 rings seems fairly standard. The fave CD's and Movies are very broken up; guess that says more about our personalies and sense of humor than any other question. Interesting stuff, and it's good to see Homeless, and he seems to have a place to live, even if it's not a home, per se. |
