I'm all for people being pleasantly logical and straightforward when it comes to serious relationships.

I'm also single, so there you go.

But it does make me laugh when a guy (it's usually this way round) does something that triggers his girlfriend's irrationality (so NOT talking about the Zmayhems here, rather a conversation I had yesterday) that leaves all the bystanders shaking their heads and wondering how he managed to survive, while all the time he's going "But! I was trying to do the right thing!"

Basically, if I can tell you're going to trigger the issues of someone I barely know, what were you thinking?

I'm sure they'll be made up in no time, but we're really trying to get him to run his actions past an approval committee before he goes too far.

Good anecdote, ita. I'm sure it would have garnered more response, if everyone wasn't off choosing what to wear to Hec's funeral.

How Not To Name Your Sith Apprentice

I am tired. So tired, in fact, that I think that "Darth Broccoli" would be a good Sith name.

Sadly, Googling "Darth Broccoli" (with quotes) does come up with some matches....

He wasn't? Or maybe love made him blind? Or the "Oh, shit," moment came after he got the story out of his mouth halfway and he rather mindlessly continued to talk anyway?(I do this, sometimes...It can be like my brain has a pre-selected tape in it.)

Ahem:

7) a. Cross out all names that may or may not involve food; then, get lunch.

My BF came up with a similar thing.

Darth Coitus Interuptus
Darth It's Malignant
Darth I Have to Let You Go
Darth Fatty

I'm sure they'll be made up in no time, but we're really trying to get him to run his actions past an approval committee before he goes too far.

The only potential problem there is, what if the committee isn't made up of the right people?

Broccoli is the exception that proves the rule. Or maybe Brussel sprouts.

How 'bout Darth Flaccid.

I'm having one of those e-mail exchanges with someone where I end up repeating myself over and over again, yet the information never gets conveyed.

"You need this information?"

"Yes, that information."

"But what is it you need, exactly?"

"That information."

"That information? That's what you need?"

"That would be it."

And now my subconscious is mentally recasting the whole thing as a Sports Night episode.

Obviously, first you have to have a committee to select the committee.
