Not me. I was perfect.
Why do you give us set-up lines like that one? Why?
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. Years ago I got freaked out by guys I knew who got into bad motorcycle accidents. So no motorcycle for me - at least until I move to a place less urban than Chicago.
Clearly you need to cultivate an edge, Tom. Have you considered metallic studs implanted in your scalp?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Years ago that sorta' applied to me
Yup, me too. Took me a while to realise that being a hyper passive-aggressive son of a bitch didn't really make me "nice".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'd probably go more modern than that, and get USB ports in my skull.

I'm probably looking for a genuinely nice guy with a dry sense of humor and a motorcycle.
Sadly, Alton Brown is already taken.

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

I ain't lying. I had a perfect record with no losses. If you want to get all pedantic and try and count wins, whatever. I like my semantic spin on it.

I've tried to explain this to some guys, but I guess it's the sort of thing you need to work out for yourself. Perhaps if I tell them they'll get their own version of Nora when they're done, it'll help.

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

As is my BF. Plus, he like carrots something fierce.

"Nice" sounds backhanded to me almost all of the time. It's either the only thing you can think of to say because the person's just not interesting, or the beginning of the sentence "No, he's a really nice guy, it's just that..."
