Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lovely, Jon. Thanks for sharing it--it made my day.

Jon, I am dying of the loveliness of your story. It's all so romantic and kismet-ly perfect.

Can we clone you?

Honestly, FAQ girl is so cool and interesting, that I'm more interested in breeding them for hybrid vigor.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks all. I swear, when she sent me the link to the tiny book exhibit, my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

Can we clone you?

Uhhh... to what end?

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

"Don't fear the cereal" was originally going to be the title of Blue Oyster Cult's biggest hit. Then they realized the Grim Reaper was potentially more terrifying than Captain Crunch. True story.

Needs more cow juice.

Dude, for those of us who are sure we'll end up old spinsters or married to jackholes like the guy from Married with Children.

Despite the existence of Buffista guys, which should be proof enough, I don't actually believe that guys like you exist, and that the best I can hope for is someone who doesn't view me with open contempt.

Hence, the need to clone you. (Plus for armies of darkness, but we can get into that later.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You are absolutely right, Emily. This is what happens when I don't actually draw the diagram and just try to visualise.

Definitely the best FAQ I've read all day. Y'all have a great, romantic story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

What Steph said.

(Minus the Armies of Darkness...that her own World Domination issue. )

I want to send a link of that FAQ to all the boys I know and say, "This is how to do it."
