Ouch! Pass the sun screen! I guess some like it hot.

Personally, I'd prefer the sunset .75 billion miles away (on Saturn).
Not only would the sunset be spectacular, but it's also a really COOL place:)
To top that off there are 10 moons on Saturn, so there is always at least one
full moon! The perfect place for romantics and/or werewolves!

Rip, tentativly take a kernal of popcorn and gently places it on MA
tender red lips.  With a *snap* the popcorn is gone, and Rip pulls his
hand back, counting his fingers..... :-)

Well, I hope it's snugs, but I wouldn't mind the whips.... ;-)

I *knew* there was a reason for my increasing stupidity and listlessness.

I wonder what depths my brain will reach in the next 16 days. I shudder to
think. It'll be more than forgetting acronyms, movie names and who I've
welcomed.

*HUGS* to all, (while I still remember)

All right!!!

Somebody (TM, at the end of another wonderful Chocolate post... check it out!)
finally asked me what Osculatology is!!!

(Clears throat, climbs up on soapbox)

OSCULATOLOGY is a new field of study, one which is particularly suited to
someone (like me) who hangs out on ARC...

The root word of Osculatology is 'osculate', meaning 'to kiss'.  This is
derived from the Latin 'ossk' or 'mouth' and the Greek 'ulate', 'to move
sinuously'.  Hence, 'osculate' - 'to move the mouth sinuously'.  The suffix
'-ology' will be familiar to you from many other words (biology, psychology,
etc.) and means 'the study of'.

Therefore, Osculatology is the study of kissing!   >;->

Any wonder why I'm doing the fieldwork for my Master's (and have been for the
last 15 years)?
