  No you want to imprint her on you.  (read about ducks - avoid the wise 
quacks :)

  If you have to.  Do. Do.  Otherwise don't.  (Got it?  My bird jokes are
flying left and right today! :)

>>Oh yea, I forgot to mention we're both in our mid-twenties.

  If it ain't fallen off yet I'm sure she'll figure it out jus' fine.



(On a lighter note :)

   No ants!  It was not a picnic, but a facsimile.  Take no substitutes
(and take no prisoners) you were just flirtin with reality.  But if there
were grapes present and uncounted for I'm also very jealous!  :)
No bird were there to mess things up either.  *tweets*

  (Your nose don't belong there (yet) and the guy might have just 
   come from a hectic day where he didn't have a chance to fresh'n
   up a bit!  I mean if you can't handle earthy smells you're in
   for a rude (*raspberry*) awakening.  And stay away from beans.

  (I can't believe I can't flame this one.  I must be outta practice.)

  (Wow!  Two in a row! (in principle)  No, I can come up with some 
   really toroid stories, but then it might       her out.)

  (Rush (my fav rock group) aside from this f(c)lam(e)-bake.  I think I've
   be more rushed more oft than not by the other party.  I tend to
   like long complicated playful songs.  :)

>  DO:

  (Oh and if you are really bored fake it so you don't hurt her 
   feelins'   Yes oh commander of the pun folice!  I'm properly
   chastized now.  *twitter* :)

  (And everything else you experienced in that fleeting moment of
   gory.  Now say your payers and eat crow turkey! :_)

             are ohm in the freezer  (a cool diode?)) rather than fryd.
