Okay, what kind of dirt do you have on KZ? Pictures? Video? 🙂 (I’ll post what you asked tonight at home – its blocked at work)1) d – having just crossed the border recently this is in my mind.2) CCCCCCCCCCC3) d4) d5) d6) aIf she goes with my choices she’s sure to have the makings of a best seller. Because anyone who can make a border crossing into a romance has GOT to have some serious writing skills. 🙂 Now I’m all excited. KZ and Kris rock.

Wave: I defy anyone to resist. *gigglesnort*Tam: I have a handy photo of her with a stripper. 😉 BTW, see how I’ve single-handedly been responsible for a new cultural idiom?? It’s amazing how I often I hear ‘were-kanga’ being used on the streets these days. Violacer: K Z is as awesome as my powers of persuasion. I wonder why the nudist colony is so popular?? ;)Lesley: Thanks for playing. 🙂 This should be fun, don’t you think?Tracy: I even have the evil laughter down pat. LOL.Jitterbug: The choices?? It’s a gift. What can I say. *g*

Effin’ crikey! BTW, I’ve got a little payback of my own to throw into this mix. ;-)P.S. Sean, you remind me of Snidely Whiplash.
KZ, I’m more like Muttley from The Wacky Races.
Thanks Anonymous!Sean: Do you think that just because you went through it that you can be nasty to someone else?? *snicker**sniff* And I was just trying to make sure that everyone understood the Scooby reference. So there!Lily: Ya think, Lily. Tee, hee.Ingrid: Absolutely. *GRIN*I also have this song in my head with the chorus ‘the twinkiest twink you’ll ever meet’. I think I’ve hit upon the next #1. LOL.K Z: Ooooh, scary. BTW, these were just some choices I happened to have on hand in the hopes that you would agree… and so I could post them straight away before you could back out of it. *gigglesnort*Sean: Complete with emphysema-ic laugh?? Or just the wacky bit??

I’m so stealing the phrase ‘painfully appropriate’, GoenTropo! It’s a perfect description of what I’m trying to, umm, achieve through the choices on offer. *GRIN*
