For Possible Marriage. One expensive offspring...

will need to arrange shampoo and bath..and will need to meet this boy. Please pm me so I can forward you a flight schedule for squinney, kylie and myself. We will of course need to be flown in first class. I will bring my guitar and we'll jam a bit. Meanwhile, what is ponging?

It's terribly English for 'whiffy'

I bet my one can outwhiff your one.

My daughter has lived in the house with me and my two boy cubs so long that if your boy's pong she can probably identify what they had for lunch.

i'll take your son, spanky. i've got an opening for someone matching his qualifications just now. just wondering, perhaps is a bit too young for the position?

describe please, the specific positions you have in mind, if only for my pleasure.

OMG . . . what a straight line . . . no, no . . . must resist . . . must get away from the keyboard . . .

Please do it Sentanta.....
Mr. Throbber wouldn't have passed up such a opportunity

What sort of work would it involve?
He's very good at examinations, can hold his breath for two minutes and complete 120 push ups.

Any good?

i think he's hired!

Dangit!

Can you tell us his username?

Sht, it is probably rosborne....

Nah.... rosborn doesn't ask about marine bio.

I'd offer you my daughter who is truly gorgeous, and just a year shy of her degree, but she's just found a new beau and anyway she wears a shirt that says (and she means it) "I make boys cry."

"I am sure that they swapped the babies when he was born, and handed us an Australian one.."

"...looks like a slightly uglier version of Brad Pitt,..."

If your son has half the sense of humor you do, he will have to fight off the girls!

Aha...ha..ha...wait a minute, if he get's in a bad mood, would he be the type to use his wife for shark bate?! You know how 'different' scientist can be. Ladies, put your daughters pics back in your wallets until Lordy E. replies.

Dear God no ! He has already spotted this thread, and guessed it was me (that was one of my intentions actually....long standing family joke in there somewhere). He's now threatening to post one of my more embarrassing photos.
I had to give him some more money to keep him pacified...bloody students!
He hasnt answered a "fishy" enquiry yet, just gave a couple of answers here and there for people who were stuck with their homework, that sort of thing.
He has intimated that he would prefer an Australian personage of the female variety, who lives in a really nice Apartment somewhere near the Barrier Reef. That's my boy.....
....it reminds me of a lonely hearts ad I once read. "Wanted..woman for relationship, possible marriage. Age, looks, wealth, weight, race not a factor. Must own her own boat. Enquiries to:- etc etc ...Please include photo of boat in your reply."

Whatever floats your boat. :-)

So the boy loves to read, raid the fridge, stay up late and sleep?

Sorry, but I just don't see what the problem is here. Sounds perfectly normal to me.

Give the boy a break, already!!

hmmm, but he hasn't posted in this thread, has he, ellpus?

i'm still available, though, i ain't got no money, no house, no boat. just a 1991 honda accord and three bikes, roller scates, a mind blowing collection of makeup and nailpolish, some paintings, lots of books, a persian rug, ummm, computer with a mad sound system, and and and, yeah, the Passion, as dem greeks say. and one dissertation to finish.
