well, this was obviously in jest, but it just occurred to me that I also suggested Youppi for your avatar.

I dont quite know what to make of it all. Maybe I've got Youppi fever!

One serious answer to question 3 would be when a woman can match my constant sarcastic jokes. (if hers are unlike mine and actually funny, that's even better)

[hmrsf]

I was going to offer some up close shots of Youpi. He did a little dance on the dugout. You may like them.
