Moark, there should only be one question at a time on the board. You should answer the question the flying monkey asked before asking yours. In the meantime, Bobby will answer yours and I will post the same question that the flying monkey asked.

Answer: Yes, I'll go to Subway with you. I'll do whatever you want for a foot long roast chicken with black olives (...wink....)

Bobby, what would your ideal day consist of?

Answer: It basically go to work, then come home to Moark, feed her, go to bed, Call Jryan and Krod on the phone, or talk to them via facebook, set up another date with my girlfriend, when Moark's alseep watch that ever inapporiate South Park, and then if it's a day where I have to go to work at night, I tell, Gloria, my neightbor, to wake up Moark for school, because heaven knows she'll never get up, then I come home, I again call Krod, or Jryan to see what they're up to. Exchange a very dirty phone talk with my girlfriend, go have a beer, make sure Moark didn't leave her homework home, again. Go to the grocery store to pick up mor milk, I have to do that like everyday. And that's basically it.

Moark: Thanks for the explanation. Bobby what do you like to do for fun?

My ideal day would consist of time well-spent with you, my dear NLFann.


Bobby, would you ever date female police officer? (Besides Alex, that is; you've made it quite clear you're not interested in her in that way.)

Answer: It would really depend.

Moark: Bobby have you told them yet that I keep telling you that you should date Alex Eames?

Oh, dear sweet Moark, EVERYONE knows that you would love for me to date Alex. Alas, however, I fear that can never be.


Bobby -- What is your favorite color for a woman to wear?

Answer- Black. It's just so perfect on them.

Moark- But, but, but. You mean you're going to date and marry Jryan? And then she's going to be my stepmother?

Why? Why do you have to date her? I like her, but as a stepmother? God.

Bobby if you won't date Alex, will you al least find a kind, warmhearted women like her with the same moral decency?

Bobby leans forward and whispers into Moark's ear: Are you available?


Bobby, would you ever jump out of an airplane?

Um flashy can you edit that? That makes Bobby sound like a pervert. No offense. p-e-r-v-e-r-t

This is LOCI fantasy land......Bobby doesn't sound like a pervert, ever. Many women around here would ::THUD!!:: if Bobby did that to them. So, no, I really don't think I need to edit the post. Even if you are very young, Bobby would say that to you with a wink and nod, to flatter you, to make you feel beautiful and special. That's part of what we love about him.

Never. I'm not crazy about heights even though I did go up on a high rise construction site one time and pretend to lose my balance to test out a theory I had about a suspect who worked there. That incident still gives me chills whenever I think of it.

Bobby, what's your favorite snack food?

Deakins. I think it said something like "Out for a drink of lunch"...or something to that effect...And now when I look, its not there anymore...cant for the LIFE of me find out in which epi I saw it...Driving me nuts! (because I'm not sure if that is precisely what it says...)



Yes. Parachute compulsory of course.



Whatever is available when I feel peckish.

Bobby...Do you know anything about cricket? Sorry, just have to ask...Seeing as you spent a little time in England and all...

The cricket didn't interest me nearly as much as the co-eds did. I just know it's a favorite of the locals there.


Bobby, do you have any regrets?

(It's getting harder to think of questions the longer we keep going!)

Some. For the most part I think I've done the best I could with the options that were available to me. For years I felt that I somehow failed both my mother and Frank but I'm working on getting past that guilt because, rationally, I know I did the best I could for them. I regret not paying more attention to the circumstances Jo Gage was living in during her formative years. Perhaps I could have made a difference there by bringing attention to it. With Declan, I regret that I didn't confront him about his formaldehyde abuse years ago. It may not have made a difference but at least I would know that I tried. I also wish I had dealt with my resentment against my father, or the man I thought was my father. That lingering resentment has caused me lapses in judgment that were often neither fair nor rational. I love children and I regret not having any of my own. I tell myself that there is still time but I think I need a reality check on that one. One big regret is not communicating effectively to Eames how much I depend on and appreciate her partnership and her friendship. I took too much for granted for too long. Without her support for the past few years I think I would have folded under the pressure. I'm working on being more open in our relationship.

Bobby, did you discuss all of this with Dr. Olivet?

Parts of it, she definitely thinks that I should be more open with Eames as she is the closest to me now that my family has gone. She is a great support to me and I believe that now I can turn a corner and be more positive about things. Plus I need to up my game now that we're getting a new guy who also happens to be an ex-partner of my captain. I'm not talking about being friends with the guy but making sure that I work on clashing less with the Captain or else I may find myself with the less interesting cases or worse out of a job.

Bobby, is there anything that could affect your more positive way of thinking?

I need to put more effort into enjoying my personal life. For years I let things slide because I was so tied up with my mother and my job. I plan to touch base again with good friends like Lewis. I used to enjoy working out and I plan to get back into it again. I love to read and for a while I just couldn't focus on anything but I have started to read again. I love the arts - music, dance, theater - and I recently bought tickets for a Broadway show. I bought two tickets so I'd have to ask a date. I'm a bit nervous about getting back into the dating game but I'm excited also. I think I'm making progress.

Bobby, who do you plan to ask to attend the Broadway show with you?

I was hoping to ask Noor. She appreciates the arts and theater as much as I do, and she's a classy lass with a wicked sense of humour. (her quick wit reminds me of Eames too!) After the show, we'd probably go for a walk and she'll want to talk books...She will also let me read without asking questions like "what are you reading" or saying stuff like "penny for your thoughts".... I hate that. So I'm leaning towards asking Noor.

Bobby, what if Noor can't make it...? Do you know someone else who'd enjoy going? - not only for the date, but for the theater as well...

Flashymom would definately enjoy the theater. She's been in musicals, operas, dramas and really appreciates the hard work and effort that go into pulling off an effortless performance. Plus, she'll sing all the songs to me while we're walking in the park.

Bobby, where's your favorite place to grab an after theater snack?

I really love Sal's!
Bobby, would you still flirt with the waitress?

Definitely not. When I'm with a woman she has my undivided attention. I make sure my date knows how beautiful and special she is.

Bobby, will you drive your Mustang to pick up your date or will you take a cab?

I'll drive my mustang, or maybe pick her up in a limo!
Bobby, do you kiss on the first date?

It largely depends on how the date is going. If the woman doesn't seem that into me (I can hear you all gasping, but it's been known to happen) if that happens, of course I never would intrude on her. But if she seems to like me, I've been known to give her a little something extra to remember me by.

Bobby, what do you thing Eames get from the partnership?

We are good friend's, and compliment each other!
Bobby, will you ask me out for dinner?

I always enjoy taking a beautiful woman out to dinner, as long as she's not involved in a relationship. I don't poach on territory that belongs to someone else. If you are available, sure, I'd love to take you to dinner. How about Friday, say around 7. Do you like Italian? I know a great Italian restaurant. Give me your address and I'll pick you up.

Bobby, how do you feel about one night stands?

Love Italian! I'm not interested in one night stands.
Bobby, Would you rather wear jean's or a suit?

Although I tend to live in suits, I'd rather wear jeans, especially as I'm getting older and scruffier. i need to relax and chill out a bit.
Bobby, what books are you reading just now?

I'm rereading one of my favorites on the criminal mind and another one about child psychology.

Bobby, what do you like to do on your day off?

Answer: I like to on my couch, and get some peace for once. Just watch a little tv, maybe a take out a beer. Being a cop is tiring you know.

Bobby, how do you feel right now about your life? Are you happy?

Not really. I'm trying to come to terms with everything that's happened to me in the last year. My life is no longer recognizable. The only constants right now are work and Eames. Hopefully, I can find happiness, but it may take me a while.

Bobby -- do you ever plan on getting married?

Answer: Not really. I really don't have that option in my life right now. Period.

Moark: Bobby, do you ever plan on having another girlfriend?

If the right lady comes along, and she doesn't mind sharing me with my work, maybe.


Bobby, have you ever gone skinny dipping?

:Gulps:

[ throws head backs a laughs ] I knew somehow, sometime, somewhere this would come back to haunt me...

There was this time - during my 6-month tour of South Korea...Just me and a couple of the boys...You know, the kinda thing you do when you're young...foolish...invinceable...Bored.

It was steamy hot...we were tired. There was this beautiful waterfall...no-one around for miles... it was fun - but I've never done anything even remotely NEAR that since!


Thanks for your honesty Bobby - now, before I ask my next question, could we take a small break please.

(Gotta get outta here for a few seconds...need to get that image out of my head or I wont be able to focus!)

I'm back. Thanks for giving me the time-out Bobby...

Bobby, what was the WORSE piece of advice anyone has ever given you?

Declan, he lied to me!
Bobby, are you sure Nicole's dead?

Noor -- you're response was wonderful! So very Bobby. I wondered how someone would choose to answer this. You did a great job. I would never have thought to contextualize it the way you did, but it's perfect. I can so see a bunch of hot, tired soldiers stripping down and skinny dipping........*gulp* Now I need a time out.........and a trip to the ice house.....

Well, they did find a body matching her description that was missing a heart.....but with Nicole, you never can tell. Some small part of me will always wonder.....


Bobby, what would you do if Nicole suddenly showed back up in your life again?

I would probably kill her myself!
Bobby, would you kill her because of Frank?

I wouldn't kill her, no. That is against the oath I swore as a police officer. But I would make sure that she is appropriately punished. Not just for my brother's death, but all the others she killed and the lives that she ruined through her pursuit of crime.

Thanks for your honesty, Bobby.
How do you take your Glenlivet?

Straight, on ice.

Bobby, have you ever killed anyone in the line of duty?

Yes but only in self-defense.
Bobby, do you keep gun's in your apartment?

Only my service revolver and back up piece. Too dangerous for a cop to have guns in the house.

Bobby, would you rather spend your vacation in a library or on a cruise?

I have never really considered the cruise thing. It's not really my style of vacation. Too confining. I guess if the cruise was going to some place really interesting, like Antartica or something, I might consider it. Actually, right now the library is about the only vacation that I can afford.

Bobby, would you like to have a pet? If so, what kind?

Uhm...No, not really. I mean I love animals, but you need time for them. They need love, attention. And in my apartment...No, it would not be fair to a pet. I love puppies, kittens.

Bobby, have you given any serious thoughts about retiring? I mean, till what age would you want to work? Where do you think your future is heading in the police? What would you do IF you decide to retire? Any plans or are you just not thinking in that direction at the moment? (sorry, its a bit of a 4-way question!)

I'm not sure? Until I get my gold watch for sure!
Bobby, Will you ever get married? If I get divorced? LOL!!!

My work is too important to me right now. I'm also an emotional wreck with no money. Too much baggage to make a relationship like that work. Maybe when I'm older, if the right person came along. (whispers aside to KRod: As fiiiine a woman as you are, don't ever divorce your husband; that would be a big mistake.)


Bobby -- Would you ever consider chucking it all and moving out to a big ranch somewhere and becoming a cowboy?

Frank and I got guns and cowboy hats one year for Christmas so we played at being cowboys a lot when I was a kid. It was fun then but now I wouldn't want to live anywhere but New York City. The city has its problems, bit it's home and I love it, warts and all.

Bobby, do you think you will ever make Captain?

Maybe if Ross screw's up!
Bobby, would you be fair if you were Captain, or an ass like Ross can be?

I would try to be, but I don't think I'm captain material. I've rubbed too many people up the wrong way and being a manager (of sorts) would mean that I would have less time to solve cases and profile killers, these are my strengths.
Anyways, Ross is like me. An acquired taste. We're getting used to each other.

Bobby, describe your ideal woman.......

I really enjoy all types of women but I think it would take a very special woman to commit to a long term relationship with me. For one thing, the demands associated with my job would be very hard on a relationship. Another issue is the fact that I'm not so young any more and I've lived alone for a long time, so I'm kind of set in my ways. My financial situation is not too healthy either. I haven't been exposed to any successful, long term relationships so I would probably make a lot of mistakes. To deal with all of this, a woman would need to be pretty strong and independent but caring also. She would definitely need to have a lot of patience and understanding. I tend to get bored easily so she would need to be intelligent and well read to hold my interest long term. Sharing my interest in music and the arts would certainly be a big benefit also. Even though it's kind of late in the game for me now, I've always wanted children. I would like her to be open to that option even though my genetics is a big concern. I've always been partial to tall women with long, dark hair but I think I've finally matured because I've gone past judging women by their looks. Character and personality are more attractive to me now, but nice set of ... legs never hurts. (Chuckle!)

Bobby, have you ever used an on-line relationship site such as eHarmony? If not yet, would you ever?

TFM, that's not a question, now is it?
