I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

I don't think so, Kathy, but then I am one who doesn't pay much attention to that unless I am dressing up.

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

Jesse needs to weigh in on this weighty cultural issue.

Another weighty cultural issue. I wonder what my smiling accent is.

Kathy, I think the colour should be fine, but I'd end up wearing it only with black and denim. Which is, like, all the time I'm not wearing red.

Our wings are not tired.

No seeing Jesse for me. Sad now.

I have never heard "cowboy up" to the best of my recollection, but I may try and work it in to my vocabulary now.

I think they are quite pretty Kathy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which weighty cultural issue, now?

The cowboy one!

Hmm. I wonder how "cowgirl up" would go over at the centre.

Ah, the Internet, mucking with cultural dissemination for years to come.

I wish that smile article had pictures of the various smiles.

msbelle, the Boston sportswriter agrees with you:

Insofar as it can be determined, the expression got its biggest boost from the 1994 movie "8 Seconds," a lame Hollywood oater based on the life of bull-riding legend Lane Frost. (Eight seconds is how long a bull rider needs to stay astride to win -- not how long it took the ball to roll through Bill Buckner's legs in 1986.)

I know. It might save me from sitting here practicing and looking like a nutcase.

Maybe.
