Candy:

I'll call you 'Apple' if you'd like; but everyone knows Candy is a guilty pleasure...

Now, please tell me I'm not going to a special hell for giving a suggestive pseudonym to a minor. Your grammar and spelling are correct, so I'm guessing you're post-secondary educational, at least; but better safe than sorry. If you are still in high school, you must be getting really good grades.

BTW, 'I give you a ten' and 'you pointed your toes' were gymnastics references, not intended to imply you were male. I got the distinct impression you were female from the outset. The question is not whether your gearbox is stick or automatic, but whether your drive train is still protected by the manufacturer's warranty...

v/r,
-zed

P.S.
If you're in high school (like my youngest daughter, fer gawdsakes), supper is Gorton's fish filets, Velveeta Shells and Cheese and buttered petite peas, with iced tea or soft drinks.

If you're in your in your 20's - early 30's, it's probably Chinese takeaway (I really fancy some moo goo gai pan). If you're over 21, Tsingtao's; otherwise, green tea.

If you're over the age of 37 (i.e., within 10 of my 46 years), supper will be grilled rib eye and cocktail shrimp, sauteed mushrooms, angel hair pasta and broccoli florets. (Although, if the lady would prefer the fish or the Chinese, I'm amenable to whatever she wishes.) A unpretentious red would go down nicely; any suggestions?

I love being an under 20!

Welcome to the Board, Apple!

Every worldly-wise lady began as a dreamy girl. The special ones never entirely lose that quality. Remembering and staying in touch with one's past provides a depth that I find most attractive.

Want some tartar sauce for your fish? Or are you strictly a ketchup girl?

P.S.
We can talk about mp3's and computing tips. I know things...

Don't worry, no special hell for you. I am 25.

So bring on the Chinese and the fancy drinks!

I'm not much of a wine person. Just bring me a fruity drink with an umbrella and I'm in heaven. Or a ginatonic.

And of course Candy is a guilty pleasure, but I think it's a bit too early for me to become someone's guilty pleasure. I have a 72 hour waiting rule.

Welcome!

I hope you weren't initiated here. There is no hazing allowed in these parts!

Could I take both?

Well, if you want to talk Avid editing, Panasonic DVX 100A'z and how we can go about making a Firefly FanFilm, I'm your girl.

Candy:

With Chinese food, I strongly recommend Tsingtao ( http://www.tsingtaobeer.com/index.htm), rather than mixed beverages. It's a much better counterpoint to the flavors and textures, IMO.

I am happily married for the past 17 years, so no guilt; although, it's a distinct pleasure to make your acquaintance. You could say I have a 72 year rule.

I do like to play on occasion, however, and no subject is out of bounds, so long as it is handled in a courtly fashion. As a result, I will occasionally flatter or tease a female, playfully; but, I am not seeking anything other than conversation and intellectual stimulation.

Respectfully,

zoid

P.S.
Actually, I'm generally more sober and serious than I have been in this thread. While I like to 'play', for me it's more like a sherbet that cleanses the intellectual palate between main courses, than a meal itself. I'm motivated by philosophical, anthropological and artistic musings, more so than party games (i.e., I'm an older-than-my-years, morose, stick in the mud). I can talk Firefly characters until you can't stand it anymore; but I'm not good for very long with floating tree boats...

Too late. She's already been hazed and glazed (with lard). We're just having postprandial cigars on the veranda, at this juncture.

Care to join us in enjoying a fine claro? (*zoid slides humidor across the table to Elwoodmom, and rattles matchbox, prior to tossing it to her.*)

(*Hoists brandy snifter*) A toast: "It's easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission."

Serenely,

zoid

Tartar sauce and ketchup, you got it. (*Places bottles on table and hands Gwen a napkin, before sitting down to table himself, saying grace silently, then digging in to his fish and mac & cheese.*)

So, you're a film student? ...Or is this only an avocation at this point? I know very little about digital photography; just basically competent.

I am a computer hardware guy, with a knack for software and a largish repertoire of 'shadow knowledge'. I wouldn't say I'm a full-blown hacker, but I've got some tools and techniques that enable me to get more out of computing than the Average Joe.
(Example: Tomorrow, I'll be trying to recover a database from a hard disk that's been low-level reformatted and re-partitioned. Using a 'special tool' I have, I calculate an 80% chance of success. And I'll do it while working air traffic, which is my actual job.)

Are you still in school, or are you in the workplace? What kind of rig (computer) do you have? Please tell me it's not a Mac...

As far as the fanfilm goes: I absolutely refuse to do nudity, unless it advances the story. Given my physique, I don't see that happening...

Conversationally,

zoid

P.S.
As I write, I'm watching "Bad Santa". The Kid (Brett Kelly) really breaks my heart.
