I think you'll find this little e-mail exchange between Nadia and I amusing (in case you didn't realize, it's regarding my Desktop Image):

Dear Geekman,
re: male fantasy desktop
In what universe, I pray thee tell, would you find a female with lushious, becoming Angelina Jolie-esque lips and a penchant for parading her buxom double D breasts in the glorious open air partaking in any game which would involve a 20-sided die? No universe exists where this phenomenon has occurred, Mr. Geekman, and I think you have a responsibility to your followers of similar geekdom to not encourage these teenage geek delusions.
thank you for your time,
Dianora, representative of the Teenage Geek Fantasy Rehabilitation Commitee.

Re: Male Fantasy Desktop
I'm afraid you wholly misinterpret the intent of the rendering entitled "Natural 20". For the Geek, this is a tongue-in-cheek parody of the classic pinup, in which a buxom woman might also be seen caressing a football, rubbing up against a powerful automobile, or licking the barrel of a shotgun. Indeed, it is this very atypical (and impossible) male delusion that we, the geeks, are poking fun at by superimposing our own interests onto it.
Now, for the atypical DORK (no names mentioned) the aspect of parody is completely lost on them. They only see the boobs and it never dawns on them how amusing and ridiculous the topless woman with her gauntlets (an aspect you neglected to critique, I might add) is. Their immediate response would be (and I quote) a Beavis and Butthead style "YES!" Or perhaps a "OH YEAH...", rather than a simple laugh. If these individuals fail to understand the satirical aspect of the image, I am afraid that there is not much that I can do to help them, and I wash my hands of them.
Sincerely,

P.S. - You spelled "luscious" wrong.
