And there's no "is" there, like in your former example? Can you please define for me the difference between the two examples?
In both examples, the 'is' is optional. It's just whatever sounds better.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

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

Wikepedia is going to be published as a hard cover. WTF?
In this case, WTF is short for "Why the Fuck?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There should be an "is" to make a grammatical sentence, I guess. The second is more like an aphorism than a sentence. Like "the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice." A thing people say, not technically a sentence, I guess.

My dad can email me from MONGOLIA. He's IN Mongolia, right now.
that is so freaking cool!
I'm about to be the age that my aunt was when she first became a grandmother, 40. And my grandmother became one at 48 (of course she also had her last kid at 42).
The ice in my iced coffee melted far too soon. Now it's just vaguely cool coffee. bleh.

Doesn't this craiglist ad for a secretary sound a like the hirer is also looking for a mistress:

He probably is.
I was shocked and appalled to learn that I actually knew one of the douches who posts ads looking for attractive, female personal assistant. He figured he could date applicants he didn't hire, I shit you not.

Well, the secretary would have to interact with clients, so maybe that's why the secretary would need to be 'stylish.' But what does this mean?
Please be forward in your response.
I mean, all that comes to mind is the applicant saying, "Yes, I will blow you."

That ad has already been flagged for removal.
I recently saw this local ad, a guy looking for a roommate with benefits:

Now I'm tempted to place an ad in Craigslist personals looking for a girlfriend who might also hire me to work in her business "if it leads to that."
