Today is Sadie Hawkins Day. Just so you know, I'm taken.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Tell me he didn't.

Oh, dear. I never expected a proposal from you, Alan.

Mr. Hope made *no* proposals to you, Haddad.

Hey! The subject line indicates I was addressing ladies. Who invited
you?

You did, Ray, as you well know. By posting to a public, unmoderated
newsgroup you invite comment from anyone and everyone. You've used that
argument yourself in the past, as I recall.

So what? I addressed only those who are ladies.

What on earth was going through your head when you chose to start this
thread? Yes, I can believe you were trolling, but why choose this
particular troll?

Because ladies propose to me on this day every 4 years. I wanted to
cut them off.

We had late callers last night. Just as I was putting on my flannel
bedshirt and my cap with the tassle on the end, my 40-ish SIL and one
of her co-workers rang the outside gate bell. We drank Arkansas
sherry and coffee until around 2200 when they left. Neither of them
are married, and I told them they had two hours to get ready to catch
a guy. The wine made me drowzy but the coffee wouldn't let me
succumb. I lay awake til past midnight.

I thought of logging onto the newsgroup in hopes that the tedium would
make me sleepy. But I didn't.
