Well, he did once post a thread about the fatal Jon Stewart episode. . .

It's a shame, really, I'd love to know what makes Timothy tick. But he's stubborn, is the Nixmeister, and asking just nmakes him less likely to open up. I'm genuinely curious as to why he feels compelled to attack me at every turn, to make fun of me, my posts, and even the name that my wife and I chose to give our only child (really poor form, by the way, but I wasn't surprised). The slights don't bother me - if they did, I'd never acknowledge them at all since even that probably gives him some satisfaction! - but I'd quite like to know whichever of my own barbs at him was enough to spark this long-running enmity. Call it quality control if you like, I value feedback. 8)

Tim has a very small penis. Also, Kate does not think he's adorable. He is different from me in at least two ways.

I don't think you can legally call it a "relationship" after only 10 days. Although the backyard bit made me laugh, so I'll let you off.

(Although part of the reason it make me life is that I misread it as "backside".)

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, we've known each other for some time, it's just been official for a couple weeks.

(I'm not saying anything, it's far safer that way for all concerned, although I have several great lines about fruit dipped in chocolate that will just have to remain lost to posterity; but I am very pleased Omey's found someone)

If there is the potential for sex (without awkward silences, or longing glances/drooling from a distance), and no money has changed hands, it's a relationship.

*LOL* Thanks, Lee, I appreciate it. Speaking of chocolate, I got her some for valentine's day. Found this neat place, sells heart-shaped boxes of chocolates, made out of chocolate. Really cool looking. (I actually considered their chocolate-dipped strawberries, but decided against them. [Smile] ) So I get a box for her, planning to leave it by her car, because on that particular day it's the only way I could get it to her, class schedules and all. Valentine's day happened to be the only warm day that week. She found a bag of brown soup by her car. But apparently it was quite good!

For the record, there is potential for sex exactly insofar as there is potential for marriage. And no, no money has changed hands. [Smile]

A double major? Awesome.

(Ten days and you're already considering whether there's potential for marrying her? I want pictures. NOW.)

*L* That wasn't what I meant to convey with my comment, but since you mention it. It's just the way we both see things. If there's no potential for marriage, at least in concept, then we see no reason to be in a relationship. How serious a potential that may be, who can say?

No pictures.

This, with this eclipsed purple soup and Gog-like New Breed is altogether too much.

"Well, he did once post a thread about the fatal Jon Stewart episode. . ."

I've still got that clip on my computer. That was the best thing on television, ever.

"It's a shame, really, I'd love to know what makes Timothy tick."

Internal clockwork. Well-oiled internal clockwork.

"I'm genuinely curious as to why he feels compelled...to make fun of...the name that my wife and I chose to give our only child..."

Well, now you're just making things up. I only made fun of your wife's feathers.

"Call it quality control if you like, I value feedback. 8)"

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate your product at an eight. The sound fidelity is excellent, and it keeps my car as shiny as ever, but the aftertaste is unpleasant.

Well I'm glad then I'm still single since 1999... I always did know that relationships are still to complicated for my feeble mind.

Well, I find interspecies mating rituals fascinating. And I consider Jen to be among the shiningest examples of girldom out there. But without a Universal Translator, it can get tricky. Some of the nuances and metaphors don't translate well. [Big Grin]

One item from a list of things men want women to know:
"If we say something, and it can be interpreted in one of two ways, and one of those is incredibly hurtful... we meant the other one."

And don't worry, Admiral. I didn't meet Jen until I was 24, and even at the time I was barely equipped mentally or emotionally to handle it. I've learned a lot over the last seven years, though. The trick is to find someone who -- amongst whatever other sterling qualities they have -- is willing and ale to talk out any potential sticking points. Lack of communication is, I think, the worst thing that can happen to a relationship.

"Interspecies Mating Rituals"?

Do you have any idea how wrongly that could be taken?

I'm not going to say anything, but it sounds a lot like a certain taboo...

--------------------
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.

Remember when your parents told you it's dangerous to play in traffic?
