That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I need help from the hivemind...

What are some pop culture/film/tv/literary examples of marriage being a physical, spiritual, or career death to a man? I can think of the movie Black Widow. Any other thoughts?

[background: I'm taking a medieval women's lit class and one of our final questions is to trace an antifeminist stereotype through some of the stuff we read and to bring it into modern day]

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Ugh. Still haven't woken up entirely, so it's time to take some caffeine, even if I wanted to minimize it this week. I have to be able to function for my job....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Star Wars episodes 2 and 3.

If the Jedi councel find out Anakin's married, he looses his Jedi Knight status.

Can't think of anything else, although I'm sure there's more.

eta: Some have thought that Lou Reed's music suffered when he got married and his outlook on life grew less pessamistic.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, I stayed up to watch Christiane Amanpour on TDS, but then passed out. Did you catch it?

Missed the replay this morning. We were watching the Bear in the Big Blue House. But I think DH recorded it for me last night. I hope. I haven't checked yet.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

ChiKat, would Madame Bovary fit the bill? I think that Dr. Bovary's wife pressures him to try some risky proceedure that ends up crippling the patient and messing up his career.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

ChiKat, pretty much anything by August Strindberg will fit the bill from what I understand, though I've never read any of his stuff myself. Actually, the Scandanavians are good for that kind of thing - I'm sure there are several Bergman movies that would fit the bill.

And of course, there's that laugh riot ETHAN FROMME.

Is that what you're looking for, or am I looking at your question wrong?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every ball-and-chain joke since the beginning of time.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I normally don't watch TV on Tuesdays, but last night I happened to be watching L&O:SVU and Bradley Cooper was on (Will from Alias). What a cutie. (I'm a sucker for blue eyes.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hee. Msbelle, you should totally watch the teaser for the VM finale.
