Talkmail spotlight: Our very own polyandrist, MargaritaGirl

Looks like the funny SE desk story that had us all in stitches got featured in FlyerTalk Talkmail.

Just re-read the thread and it's just as funny the second time around...

Agreed, though I'm a little hurt I wasn't one of those "husbands".

For those that may not know about FT Talk Mail you can see it formatted here and appropriately it's listed under Hot Threads.

No need for the edit - you were right the first time. Polygamy means multiple spouses (or is it spice?), not multiple wives (which is polygyny).

Polygamy is multiple wives. Polyandry is multiple husbands. AFAIK. More power to MG--what's a few extra husbands between friends!!
