Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

“Not dead yet!”

Co-writer Sam thinks he could beat me in a fight just because men are stronger.

But women are more treacherous. And liable to fight dirty.

His delusions are kind of charming.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This is what I'm saying!

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

(And isn't it pathetic that I can quote that from memory?)

No! Why do you think I mentioned it? I have that whole damned section burned on my memory.

I'm also fond of Jo and Prof. Bhaer's betrothal.

She also created Big Drama at my wedding as well, by showing up in a white lace dress.

Some movie -- I *think* it was The Mirror Has Two Faces -- had a wedding scene, and before the ceremony, when everyone was milling around, the mother of the bride showed up in a tight, bright, sequined dress, and the bride (who was rather blinged-out herself, as is her right as the bride) said, "You're supposed to be the mother of the bride, not the OPENING ACT!!!" For years I was afraid my mom would pull that at my wedding. Now, ironically, she's more or less over her flashy ways, and I'll probably never get married. What a waste of my mom's newly-found sensibility.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A woman I knew years ago had been living with a man for quite a while. One day they were scheduled to have lunch together. He comes in, dressed in a tuxedo, carrying flowers and champagne, and followed by a violinist. He went down on one knee, and as the violinist played, proposed. She said yes, everyone had champagne, he paid off the violinist, and they had a long, romantic lunch.

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

At my (first) wedding, Aunt of the Ex went around the recepton telling people that we were getting married because I was pregnant and that the family was not happy. Why she did this, I still don't know. Luckily, people found it funny, if puzzling.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims and MM have the most perfectly Aims-and-MM proposal story.

Umm, assuming that was MM in the bar?

Indeed it was. And it was pretty typical of us. As was us both cracking up during the ceremony.
