I'm in a good mood today. Who wants a hug?

Posted by T_Smith (Member # 3734) on :

Holy Orson Scott Card, someone's gotten a hold of Pat's password!

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

*gives Pat a nickel*

This had better be good.

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Hmmm....

On second thought...nevermind.

I want Jon Boy's 5 cents back.

Hobbes [Smile]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

That's three. [Big Grin]

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Wait....hugs cost 5 cents now!?!?!??!?!

DAMN YOU INFLATION!!!!!

Oh well *hands Pat a nickel*
One hug please!

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Need to see a picture ID first.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Sorry I don't believe in pictures. They are morally wrong

(Well, that and the fact that I look awful in every single picture ever taken of me.....)

Can I have a hug anyway?

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

So, basically, you just want to hug all the good-looking girls, eh, Pat?

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

This is an auspicious day. (basks)

(slides a nickel 'cross the counter)

Can I get a hug?

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

((Jon Boy))

You're one fine looking hunk of a man, Jon Boy... you know that?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Ok, why is it that charging a nickel makes these hugs somehow any more valuable? Or does Pat have celebrity appeal?

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Because my hugs MEAN something. They're tangible.

And I just don't hug anyone. Only cool people.

Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :

Wait! Does that mean that I'm not cool!?!??!

*sulks in the corner*

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Well, you've gotta do something cool first. That, and five more cents will get you a hug.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I'm not sure, but I think I was just called cool. That's twice in two days. That has got to be a sign of SOMETHING! [Angst]

And Pat, I don't know why you think your e-hugs are tangible . . . but mine mean something too.

Actually, I might even say mine mean more, being offered in the spirit of friendship and caring. Not capitalism.

Posted by El Babalao (Member # 5817) on :

Meh.

Lame.

Posted by Bob the Lawyer (Member # 3278) on :

I don't know if I want to hug Pat. He's bigger than a dog after all.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

You know, Pat, you ain't so bad-lookin yoself.

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

((Icarus))
((blackwolve))
((Bob the Lawyer))

That's enough Jon Boy. And you misspelled yourself.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Everyone knows you can never have enough Jon Boy. And no, I did not misspell myself. Look: "Jon Boy." That's how I'm spelled.

I'm just not one of the cool people, am I?

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Sorry, Ryuko.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

I'm sorry. This thread is just wrong! [No No]

Posted by Fluff (Member # 4835) on :

Say!

You ever notice that if you scroll the screen so that this smiley:

[The Wave]

is mostly off the bottom of the page, except for the upraised little mitts, then it looks like a train driving across the bottom of the window?!

Weeee!

[The Wave]

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Yeah, the Gay Train.

(Sorry Karl and Caleb.)

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

(noogies Ick) Stop changing IDs!!

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

But I'm trying to be cool, like Pat Boy!

Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :

Ooh, can I have one? [Wave]

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :

How are you getting customers? [Confused]

There is a free hug thread, I wonder if it has to do with the ingrediants. [Dont Know]

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Yes. take your business over there, please.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Posted by Marek (Member # 5404) on :

thanks rivka, i don't have any money on me, so I hope this will do as pay back (((((rivka))))) [Smile]

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Perfect! I don't do the capitalism-hug thing anyway. Mine are free. But one in return is always nice. [Smile]

Posted by Pat Boy (Member # 5824) on :

Icarus, you'll never be cool like Pat Boy.

((Pat Boy))

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

o_o

What a sad little display.

>_<

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

Has anyone else noticed that the name Pat Boy is a bit strange? Is this boy being patted on the head? Is it Pat patting Jon Boy like football players do after a great play?

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

Strange isn't quite the word.

>_<

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Nuwahaha.. Thank you, Ick. It's nice to know that my insidious smilies are infecting the board...

^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

Actually, I ripped them off from mack.

That and another site.

[Smile]

Posted by Pat Boy (Member # 5824) on :

Ouch . . . my poor, sensitive feelings. I think I need another hug.

(((self)))

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

I think a lot of states have laws against doing that in public.

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Papa Moose sure does. [Wink]

Pat, I need a hug. I think I'm all alone.

*holds out five shiny pennies

Plllleease?? [Angst]

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

You know, Icarus, I was going to use the word "disturbing", but went back and changed it.

Maybe it was the right word all along. Always go with your first instinct, huh?

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

(((((CT))))) [Smile]

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

Nah . . . just when it's right.

[Smile]

::gives CT a nickel::

Oh wait . . . that's not what I was supposed to do, was it?

[Embarrassed]

Megachirops: [Evil Laugh]

Wow, I got tipped. [Big Grin]

((((Icarus))))

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

Consensual hugs is one thing, but paying for hugs is disgusting.

Must you Mormons always take something that the rest of us consider to be part of a beautiful, loving relationship and cheapen it by charging money.

Wow, Zan.

That's--

::reconsiders posting::

Posted by zgator (Member # 3833) on :

I hear they even have group huggies there for the right price.

Posted by Pat Boy (Member # 5824) on :

Must you heathens always call our beliefs disgusting and disturbing?

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

Gimme gimme gimme, I need I need. By the way, would you take a post dated out of state two party check?

Posted by Sarcasm (Member # 4653) on :

You deserve a hug just for quoting What about Bob?

(((pooka)))

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

By the way, how can Evie not be cool? she has a v in her name. Not that I am much of an arbiter of coolness.

Also, why don't you get a slick trade name like T the B-or? There's Klupsy Muggle the Hugger, or Hugger King, or Rex Pecs, or Arnold the Grouper, or Prince Graspian...

Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :

(((Sarcasm)))

Sarcastic Hugs sounds like the name of a band that has been edited to be suitable for family listening.

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

actually, it sounds like a shameless ripoff of a much cooler name.

((Claudia Therese))

Would you like to follow that up with a nice burnination?

Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :

Hey, I can get hugs for free in the other thread. [Razz]

Posted by ClaudiaTherese (Member # 923) on :

Burn me, baby!

[Kiss]

Immolate me in the fires that spout from your great, big arm.

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

>_<

I did NOT need to read that!

Get a room!

Posted by Liquor and Fireworks (Member # 5785) on :

Why pay for hugs when you can support the random thread and get to see me naked?

Posted by Megachirops (Member # 4325) on :

r u girl?

I'll be whatever you want me to be, for enough money.

Uh...I mean no, I'm a guy.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Hugs cost money now? What's next, tax in hugs? "Hug cost goes up, millions rise up in anger"?

The hug stock market? A crash in the hug stock market? "Oh no! There are too many hugs! Sell! Sell! Sell!"

I think I need a hug just to handle all these terrible goings on... what is the world coming to?

*reluctantly parts with forged metal disc roughly the size of a five cent piece*

Posted by suntranafs (Member # 3318) on :

"I just don't hug anyone. Only cool people"

Well in that case, Pat you'd better hug me. And since I'm such a cool guy, I'll let you do so for the discount price of only 5 dollars!!!
Wait!- I don't know you well, and you're not female, that'l be the discount price of only $5,000,000,000... Unless! Unless, of course, you just so happen to be gay... In which case my price will bee $500,000,000,000,000,000,000,0... actually, on second thought, never mind, I plead autism.
