Yesterday's conversation with him started, "So, have you shot yourself in the head yet?"
WHAT. WHAT?! What kind of dicksmack thinks that's a funny thing to ask of someone who's barely an acquaintance?
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Even better, it was his theme for the day! My two other coworkers got some variation on it.
He's just a fucking weirdo. But it was a hell of a thing for me to try to process at 8AM. What do you say to that? Other than "Uh, no."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Two-thirds of our internets were down four hours. They just came back, and now I can see b.org again. Anyone else having problems?

In re the boobie-groping thing ... maybe we could take up a collection and send some selected Buffistas (ita or Vortex, for example) to selected cons to lay down the law to these guys. Someone who could let them know, in a truly, um, memorable way that it's a Really Bad Idea.
And I'd probably qualify as a cougar ... sigh ... according to that formula, I shouldn't date anyone under 33.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Oooh! Oooh! I'm 33! You can date me still!!

The status is NOT quo.
We have a (male) friend who is 39ish dating a (female) 19 year old. They live together and actually seem to have a healthy relationship, but is still weirds me out. It's difficult not to judge. I try not to, though.
ETA:
Oooh! Oooh! I'm 33! You can date me still!!Me too!

I have a friend who just turned 50 and his wife just turned 28. Sounds creepy, but they are actually a really good couple. M is a very very young 50...

This is a tough one. Now that I'm sliding up on 50, I know what people thought when they saw 19 year old me moving in with my 34 year old (father of 3) soon-to-be husband. I really didn't get it then in the ways that I do now.
We were perfect for each other and our union was exactly what we both needed at that time in our lives.
So, I can see the allure, but when you see May-Decembers where the May isn't so together, or the December never will be, it's easy to judge it as a mistake.
