"I could make his DoD+1 permanent" he rebutted, in a faux-wholesome tone.

"Then again, if he were to spoil his postcount by replying here, he might lose face." he added, facetiously.

"Hey, I like the spiffy 24 ct gold thumb ring, commemorating your DoD+1. Very nice !" offered Brad, as an off-hand compliment.

She said, "I think I look so sexy in this hunter's outfit," shooting her mouth off.

"If that outfit was any tighter, you'd explode out of it, hon !" he fulminated* in agreement.

"Incidentally, they're called 'Rabbits' here in America, not 'Hassenfeffer'." he added, splitting linguistic hares.

"Hey, I'm up for some chemical bondage if you are, Hon ... you want ionic or covalent this time ?" he inquired, while checking the periodic table for the date of her last period.

"You've forgotten I'm already pregnant," she brooded. Why he was concerned about her period, she could not conceive.

"The fact that you're breeding makes you positively radiant" he clicked excitedly, inching his geiger counter closer & closer to her breeder reactor.

"A bat! Catch it, Sugar-Pie! We can eat it for dinner, and drink its blood," she said sanguinely.

{sings}

I'm in the mood for blood
Simply because it's near me
Funny, but when it's near me
(I'm in the mood for blood)

Feral red is in your eyes
Bright as the moon we're under
Oh, is it any wonder?
(I'm in the mood for Blood)

(Why stop to think of whether)
(This little dream might fade?)
(Let's put our hearts together)
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a bat above
If it should fall we'll eat it
But, for tonight, forget it
(I'm in the mood for blood)

(Why stop to think of whether)
(This little dream might fade?)
(Let's put our hearts together)
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a bat above
If it should fall we'll eat it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood
Hope you're in the mood
For blood


... he sang, sanguinely, in a fugue of black {pud} humor.

"Why Mr. Naden, you are as romantic as the day we married," said Sara. "Would you sing me another song?"

But alas, he deferred, as he was late for work and had little time for Sara Naden.

"Very well, you can sing to me later. Off to work with you now, while I whip up a blood gravy for this bat," she said saucily.

"Oh My, what's that HORRIBLE stench, Sarah ??!" fumed Mr. Naden :shock:

"I cut a pun, Dear ... that blood pud left me feeling feculent." she added fecklessly.

"But women are SUPPOSED to smell purty !" he added with a sniff.
