I read a book recently that made a very similar point....
Yeah, I've told the story before. Bitch totally ripped me off...

Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Ann, that's a ferret.
It may be the degree of devotion as well. If I were able to recite important statistics for every current NFL player (or every player who'd played for my favorite team during the past 50 years), most people would think I'd gone a bit overboard.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yes, there are baseball geeks(My fake newsguy boyfriend is totally one) There is nothing that happened on any diamond, anywhere, that he won't take an interest in. Which leads me to know, despite total lack of sportliness, that Honus Wagner is the most Expensive Baseball Card In The Woorld! Susan, do you watch "Countdown"! You should. Really. Sorry...couldn't resist. The fact that he can also do that for Lincoln--Douglass is an attractive bonus.

Susan, do you watch "Countdown"! You should. Really.
It's on the long list of "things I'm sure I'd enjoy, only I barely have time for TDS, Colbert, and The Office when they're not out on strike, plus the M's in season and Auburn football when televised."

You'd like it. And, luckily, he's not striking. Or in a few months, I'd be crazier than I am.ETA: It's funny how often he will bring some political issue back to some story about Ty Cobb. If I didn't fancy him, I'd probably be annoyed about that, actually. But as it is, I'm kind of like "One of us! One of us!" And for a single guy, he knows shitloads about Harry Potter, too.

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