Are Heathens more lovable?
As I scroll around the AA forum I couldn't help but notice that not one single AA poster is without at least one heart form an admirer. I think this is empirical proof we are more lovable than the general population. ;-)

1. I find it especially strange
since I am so cantankerous and insulting.

Apparently there are at least three people who are NOT offended by my overt offensiveness.

Go figure?

6. But you are a FUNNY grouch..That right there earns points
BTW I found a picture in the lounge that might work for either Zeb/Boojatta. Remember the assorted fruits and veggies?

3. We give one another hearts
in a futile attempt to give some meaning to our empty, pointless lives, since we don't have a sky daddy to love us. :sarcasm:

Me, I was thinking of giving a bunch to Boojatta, to encourage him to carry on doing whatever the fuck he thinks he's doing in R/T. Plus one to Zeb, in the hope that it gives him impure thoughts.

5. Actually, it's meatball-shaped
Yes, you can be a True Pastafarian if you're a veggie, despite what the fundies say.

9. Give one to Zeb...
...and remind him that he's walking around with a heart-on.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

37. "Whatever the fuck he thinks he's doing...."
That's the best explanation of Boojatta's ways I've ever heard.

8. Ironically I'd assumed everybody hated me here
It seems I was wrong (honestly, I didn't donate or give a single one of these to myself).

10. Hate you? Hell, I want to marry you.
I know you're gay, but I don't care. I figure that just instantly removes one source of marital friction.

Now that's a horrible pun, even for me at 7 AM in the morning...

25. I think your problem is
That you garner as much respect as you do affection. It makes it harder to see that you are well liked by us all. If we had a fund raiser where you got hearts for respect, you'd be #1.

17. Says Ms. HEART MAGNET!
Dayum, you sure are popular! I'm impressed I got 3. That means there are at least 3 people I haven't totally pissed off on DU. Guess I've got work to do.

21. Nobody is more surprised than me.
I think a lot of it is my Lounge posting. My naughty sense of humor seems to be popular there.

18. Absolutely!
I know that when I get my batch of hearts, I rush over to here and the Skepticism group to hand them out.

27. I think it's a pretty safe bet that the Christians on R&T
or the astrology and natural healing crowd in the Health Lounge won't be giving many out to us.

I'm waiting until Thursday to distribute mine, I think.

35. I have no idea where mine are from
I'm guessing it's from the Skeptics, the Atheists/Agnostics, or the Loungies.

36. Well I love you all
And would happily give you all many, many hearts. You'd be surprised at what I kick I get out of this forum. At times I feel like it is the only sane place I visit all day.

Not so secret admirer of my fellow AAers--
