It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

What is even happening?

To be fair, I have known a couple of people who quite literally fell in love at first sight and went on to have lengthy relationships. For me there's always been an initial infatuation perod that was mostly hormones, but I'm willing to accept that experience as something other than universal.

I think Love at First Sight is still just desire that happens to be inspired by a person that was also otherwise a good match.

And I say that as someone who could/does say "Love at first sight" about my relationship with dh. We met at a party, and that was it, for both of us. There was never any will we-won't we. We became a couple the moment we met. It's just that that time, desire wasn't drunk driving on the wrong highway. It had a route mapped out and drove responsibly.

See, after watching many seasons of Family Guy, Adam West is now the crazy mayor of Qahog, for ever and ever.

My Batman is Bale.

Honestly, the *voice* I hear is either Michael Keaton or Kevin Conroy.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

No such thing!

It's mostly the summery thing I would worry about. If it fits okay, I can always pair it up with a jacket for the office, or just wear it on the weekends.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

If this were Vegas and the board were a slot machine, I would have just won enough to pay for dinner for a group of people.
Oooh! Can I go to the theoretical dinner? With theoretical cake?

Heather, I have two words for you: Deep Pockets. It's a long standing legal tradition.

It's a lack of vision on the director's part that mismatched him so. The movie wouldn't have been so risible my way.

Oh no doubt. I was mostly venting some residual bitterness because Clooney was so perfect for an older Batman. He still is, but that well has been poisoned, sadly.

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

I think Love at First Sight is still just desire that happens to be inspired by a person that was also otherwise a good match.

Do you mean that the desire is part of a bigger feeling, or it's just desire that grows up to be something romantic?

Because even in my unloving state there are guys whose groins I might want to be around, but don't particularly care for their insides, even as initially presented. The guys who you know might get into your pants, but are not getting your number.

And then there are other guys who you can tell you may actually want to see again, after you put your clothes back on. Or even before you take them off.

I thought these guys were a myth, like leprechauns, or Pia Zadora.
