Do you have a crush on anyone here at The Planet?

[MysticOceansFL]

I kinda sorta maybe just a tad bit of a crush but I'm not going to say who she is But I will say that she's femme.

[Gráinne]

Correction: Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak ended in my hometown that Ciaran can't speak of without ** replacing letters. Not a trade, although the curse of Rocky Colavito lives on (and infested the other "teams" as well). My point lives on, regardless .

(seems a lot of folks are tuning in and bringing popcorn).

[Katniss]

Swallows mouthful of Milkduds (because I am a lady darn it and won't talk with my mouth full)...leans in and whispers to Wolfy and Greeneyes....

"The bookies are putting odds on a Ciaran and Gráinne pairing. They think Mopsie made a rookie error in trying to trump the mum affection so early in the game. However her willingness to overlook the sheep contingent may play to her advantage. There is also rumor of a late-breaking third player but that is shrouded in secrecy so as not to upset the current odds."

Katniss~~(ok, slight de-rail but is 'Mopsie' from Peter Rabbit stories or do you just like really clean floors?)

(also, yes I am instigating. I hate when the show ends before my Milkduds run out....)

Its from Peter Rabbit - started as a joke in college about how I was cute as a little bunny and evolved from there. I'm still not sure if it was meant as a compliment or not.

Senses building tension......flops back on a beanbag while grabbing Milkduds and a diet coke. Passes out snacks to the rest of the thread. Carry on, pretend we aren't even here.

Katniss~~(wondering if we can start a bookie/betting thread on odds of Ciaran actually making it to the altar?)

Katniss - I like your style. I think we could do well in business together. I sense that, if we do things right, there's money to be made here.

Whilst I do my best not to discriminate, I quite simply cannot look at anyone the same way once I know that they come from Cl***land. Marrying someone from the same city as where Joltin' Joe's record-breaking streak came to an end would be perverse. Life's hard and sometimes you just need to walk away.

Um. Mopsie - I love you very much, even more than Derek Jetzer.

However, whilst we're getting married in the US and under US legislation, post marriage we will be following Irish cultural practices. In Ireland, the mammy (i.e. mom) remains head of the household and retains number one position in my heart.

As someone with a beautiful soul, I'm sure you will understand the need to retain this tradition.

ps - no sheep at the wedding. We're getting married in Manhattan, not some redneck village full of yokels. I might have a sheep fetish but it doesn't mean that I want them to brush against my cavallis.

Can you let me know who the late-breaking third player is and, if you know it, an indication of her net worth?


I mean, I love Mopsie very much but it's always best to know what the other options are. Especially as the wedding is fast approaching and, if I'm going to need to call it off, I don't have much time to come up with the excuse.

[little_ms_sunshyne]

I have not visited this thread in a while. Looks like I have to catch up!

[Gráinne]

Clearly, I don't know why I'm still here, as the site of my birth is a permanent blot in my copybook. Never mind that I haven't lived there in 20 years and would not go back permanently-too cold. And so, once again, I did say that bantering on the crush thread can get you crushed .

Ironically, nearly at the same time, what was on my computer but The Amazing Race and Ciaran's own hometown of Belfast. This time the racers were snorkeling in a peat bog (which actually looked like fun), serving first class meals at the Titanic drydock, and racing to Ulster Hall. I'm sure every setting shot would be instantly recognizable.

(I think, like the scene in Spartacus, all of you should have my back and stand up one by one, saying "I'm from Cle**land!").

*Mopsie, who is bleary-eyed after spending all night pouring over bridal magazines, walks into the thread ... and stops cold*

What do you mean you love some guy named Derek???

*The emotional turmoil is too much and Mopsie collapses into a beanbag chair and begins to cry and mumble incoherently*

.. loves Derek ... under Mum's thumb ... looking at other options ... no sheep at the wedding ...

*something snaps inside Mopsie and she becomes ... BRIDEZILLA*

(cue dramatic music)

Jumping up from beanbag and scattering popcorn everywhere....

Wolfy, Greeneyes...try to get the rest of the thread to safety. I'll distract Mopzilla with samples of handmade lace, monogrammed high end bedding, and honeymoon destination brochures.

Jagg, you organize all the retired Devil Dogs and find that groom. (Note I did not say "former" as having partnered with a Marine who served for 26 years you have only to say "former Marine" once to learn your lesson on *that* topic.)

Everyone else....jump in and start posting about your crushes and love...the positive energy may calm her down. (plus I am nosey)

Judging from her profile she hails from Virginia which makes her a Southern girl. If she starts a sentence with "Bless her/his heart..."...then everyone is on their own because it's about to get ugly.




Katniss~~(was so close to being able to wear a fancy hat to a wedding....*sigh*)

Make a chain....everyone hold hands........out the back door!!!! Grabs Milk Duds cause ya know, they are chocolate.....

[MysticOceansFL]

Like I said before I kinda sorta do have a crush on someone but not going to say who she is but I will say this , she's femme.

[Wryly]

Yes. She's a femme. And is really something else.
Oh, I can dream.

I join you

[WolfyOne]

I go to work and miss all the good stuff.
Is it under control?
Will I have to go buy new beanbags?
Looks like the popcorn has been swept up or eaten by JAGG because of the 5 sec rule.

After all this, I'm wondering now if I'll ever want to settle down
I think I need more crushes and then I may be able to decide.

Happy Tuesday Crushers and Crushees
