NORA! That is CRAZY TALK!
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dag, people! I go out to run a few errands (OK, and go to the movies), the board goes down, and there's STILL a pile of messages in the new Natter when I get back? CRAXY.
I think I'm going to pretend that The Tale of Jon B and FAQ Girl is fictional, because otherwise, I don't think I can take it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Thanks! I figured something similar.
Clearly, this needs to be in the FAQ.
Clearly.

I don't know, Nora's getting a little extreme, but it is true -- FAQ Girl has essentially the same problem as Saturday Night Live, with the mouth not being able to make those sounds too close together, so something gets elided. Is it eliding that I mean? Anyway, vw and I end up saying things like, "And FAQ (pause) Girl looks so nice in that dress!"
Okay, we don't say it a lot. I haven't seen her in months. But we said it about the wedding photos.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But she's going to need a new nom de post, because saying FAQ Girl out loud doesn't work.
We were discussing this very subject down in NOLA. For one thing, her actual name is still available.

He met her on the subway train
She looked up at smiled at him
You get the picture? (yes we see)
That's when he fell for the Girl we know as FAQ

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An adult artist takes drawings of monsters and superheros by children and "fleshes them out" while maintaining the same proportions.
Cool and creepy....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The funniest part is that FAQ Girl/Wife has been called by this name, and laughed, and was totally okay with being called that. (I did learn to say her real name after several moments of memory-lapse.) Like, it is one thing to call yourself Nutty online, and then have people call you Nutty in person, but another thing entirely when you did not originate the nickname (and were not even present at the creation).
