Thanks to an entirely silly, ridiculous and sarcastic sense of humor with which I have been genetically blessed, I’m a bit of a Monty Python fan.  Okay, more than “a bit.”  Not only do I love laughing at those blokes, but I can quote the hell out of them, too, especially Monty Python and The Holy Grail.  It’s kind of my … well … comedic holy grail.  So when I say in my OKC profile that you should contact me if you can answer the 3 questions posed to King Arthur at the Bridge of Death, it’s me being silly, but it’s also a bit of a litmus test.  Do you find funny the things I find funny?  Because if hearing me quote MPATHG for the rest of your life doesn’t sound appealing, then we best pack it in now.

As I waste time at work checking out profiles on OKC, I sometimes see a dude I like but don’t have time to contact right away.  So into my “favorites” he goes, like a bright shiny coin into a piggy bank.  Usually, if I don’t write him, that’s as far as it goes.  But this guy was different:

Subj:  Your favorite?

Really? I feel special. Out of all the people you haven’t talked with that could be your favorite, you picked me!

By the way, Yes there are points for weird, I’m not telling yet, I seek the grail, and is that an African or European Swallow?

He speaks sarcasm fluently, answered me my questions three, and when he said there are points for weird, he referred back to my profile.  That’s a trifecta worth betting on.  So I did.  And 67 hilarious, engaging, innuendo-laden messages back and forth later, I’ve got a crush.  A big ol’, schoolgirl caliber crush.  The urge to doodle hearts in my Trapper Keeper and write out Mrs. Amazon Crush over and over is strong with this one.  I’m a bit old for that, frankly, so I may need to be kept in check if I’m to get any work done at all.
