The Morton salt girl responds to an overt attempt at flirting.

Recently, I was tagged by some creepy low-life to list seven personal things about me.

  1. Salt.

  2. Calcium cation.

  3. Silicate anion.

  4. Dextrose.

  5. Potassium cation.

  6. Iodine anion.

  7. I have a thing for the Brawny man.

I tag Prashanth and Ethan, who are my only non-molecular friends. They must begin their responses with “Dear Penthouse Forum: Recently, I was tagged by the Morton salt girl.”

Odd. That’s the same URL you gave for that comment.

I have no words for such coercion.
