Morticia has found her Gomez! He's a Jewish Gomez, but it works. (He even kisses up my arms and exclaims, "Cara mia!" when I speak French.) A big Blackadder fan, he read this profile and laughed himself silly. Houston, we have landed. And we are ridiculously in love.
My boyfriend is okay with me leaving up this profile to entertain people. That's why it's still up even though I'm in a relationship. He's a geek and wants other geeks to enjoy it.
(I only recently started watching Doctor Who. Lord know what my profile would have looked like had I been watching *that* instead!)
Enjoy!

"I have a cunning plan, my lord."
"Baldrick, you wouldn't know a cunning plan if it pushed a thumbtack in your forehead attached to a helium-filled, aluminum balloon that read Happy Birthday! Here's a Cunning Plan ."
"But it is a cunning plan, my lord."
"Well, what is it, Baldrick? Can't you see I'm busy?"
"It's about that real nice Miss Blacktech, my lord. I've been real sad that she hasn't got any suitors. At least, not any suitors who want more than a stick in the hay. And with her being so pretty and smart and sweet and all -- "
"Well, Baldrick, if she didn't dress like such a tart, she wouldn't get treated like a tart. Wearing all that leather, corsets, stockings... Er, you say she hasn't any suitors?"
"No, my lord. Not a one she likes, anyway. And it's real sad, you see. Just all wrong, if you know what I mean."
"What do you propose we do about this, my fetid friend? That we set traps for said suitors? Collect them in cages? Hang them from their heels for inspection?"
"No, my lord, I have a better idea. I think...we should put out an ad for her."
"You have officially fallen off the banana cart, Baldrick. This is the most utterly stupid plan I have ever heard. What on earth would we say? 'Smart Tart with Big Heart?' Or how about 'Betty Page s Stunt Double Could Fall for You'?"
"My lord, what if we just said things real nice-like about her? Like, how she writes all those lovely stories and poems that folks publish? And how she is real spiritual?"
"If you count all the times she's been on her knees for other reasons..."
"My lord, I do think I detect a hint of jealousy. A bit of the old green-eyed monster."
"Not at all, Baldrick. What on earth would I want with a raven-haired, green-eyed trollop who can wield a sword and out dance a gypsy? No, Baldrick, I prefer a pencil-thin, brainless blonde bimbo with no ambition or proven talent -- "
" -- who would drop you in a heartbeat for a better-looking bloke."
"Details, Baldrick. Details."
"Just thought I'd stick in my toe to test the old shallow pool."
"Take back your toe, Baldrick. You're poisoning the drinking water."
"Right, my lord."
"So...what's in it for us?"
"Me? I get nothing, my lord, except the satisfaction of helping a friend."
"Well, that's disgustingly charitable of you, Baldrick, but..." Edmund's own cunning plan hatches in his brain. "...that's it, Baldrick! I will answer the suitor's email." His lips curl into an evil grin.
"You're right, Baldrick. This is an astonishingly cunning plan that I've come upon. Let's execute it right away, shall we?"
