Well, it occurs to me that I haven't posted any top ten lists in awhile, so
here's a little something that's been kicking around in the back of my mind:

THE TOP TEN REASONS KIRA WILL FIND ODO TO BE THE PERFECT MATE

10.  Since he doesn't eat, he'll never complain about her cooking.

9.    Since he doesn't drink, he'll never come dragging in at 3 a.m. plastered
after a night out with the boys.

8.     Since he doesn't eat or drink, I see no reason why he would ever leave
the toilet seat up.

7.     Since he turns into a liquid when asleep, he doesn't snore.

6.     He'll never gain weight.

5.     He'll never lose his hair.

4.     He creates his clothes out of his own substance--therefore, no laundry
to do.

3.     He's a neatness freak, so you can count on him to do all the cleaning.

2.     He'll be able to take good care of you in your old age.

And the number one reason Odo is the perfect mate:

1.  He can assume any shape.  And hold it.  FOR SIXTEEN HOURS STRAIGHT.

Oh, and to be fair, the one major drawback of having Odo as a mate:

1.  Those really annoying in-laws!

(Y'know, if the Founders are truly serious about conquering the Alpha
Quadrant, it occurs to me they could easily do it one woman at a time...)

(Hell, if the lady founders can all turn into Claudia Schiffer, there goes the
male half of the AQ as well...)

(And if I've overlooked any sexual preferences in the preceeding, please
accept my apologies.  I'm sure a changeling can accomodate, no matter what
your orientation.)
