I was hinting at that in post two.

I need to be less subtle in future

Know that you'll always be Thriftsie to me, Scott/Sage.

I didn't know you're a fan of the X-Men, Scott. Or at, least, thought you might've gone with "Cyclops".

Sage

[Intrepid Homoludens]

There was once was a sweet dude named Scottsie,
You'd never take him for a nazi,
Well, now turned the page,
He calls himself Sage,
But always I'll see him as hotsie!

[Sage]

I had no idea there was an X-person named "Sage".
The "X-Men" comics were the only superhero comics I read as an adolescent, mainly because for me the storyline was one huge, thinly-veiled gay analogy. Think about it: About the time they hit puberty, these people realize they're "mutants" and that society hates them. They're often rejected by their families and friends, the government sees them as a threat and wants to eliminate them entirely, and the only time they can truly be themselves is when they're with each other. Pretty forward-thinking stuff to have debuted in 1960s America.

By the way, a DVD box set containing every single issue of the X-Men comic books is now available for around $50. Finally, no more fear of soiling the pages every time you look at them as was the case with the books.

Hmmm, if the mutants are a gay analogy, could that be why the Sentinels are painted pink? The mutants would go, ooooh, look at all the pretty pink roBZZZZT!

BTW, I didn't know about Sage being an X-men either. I found her when I ran a wiki search for "Sage", wanting to see why you'd use a plant as your name. When I saw an article on her, I figured I'd mistake you for something else entirely, following Pink's example.

Basically, when I think of Reno, I think of the miles and miles of sagebrush that grows in the desert just outside the city limits.









I thought of using "Sagebrush" but that sounded a little too "Yosemite Sam" for my taste, so I shortened it to "Sage".
I have to admit that I liked the double entendre quality as well.

[Fairygdmther]

Double entendre? More like six meanings... not that you can't handle that kind of depth...
