I would certainly be an ugly girl. Six foot two inches, two hundred pounds of romping stomping dynamite.

But he's funny, so he's disqualified.

Maybe you should reconsider. Is being the new rasta-footed girl so bad?

Oh, those weren't the qualifications for being new. Those were the qualifications for some chick I'd bring here, to strategically stop being the New Girl and yet not forsake more New Girl attention than strictly necessary.
KtP is already here, and not a damn thing I can do about it. So I may as well make the most of him. *walks around KtP, mulling over the possibilities* ...but apparently, he's not a girl. The best I can do is demand you all start calling him "New Boy." Edited to add: goddamit, I INSIST! |

I also answer to "You, boy" and "Pool boy," but not "cabin boy."

We're out of Tequila, ma'am. Would you like some scotch, or bourbon, or vodka, or gin?
