Ew. Wouldn't you at least want to think that a long-term arrangement like that was at least partly about you specifically? I mean, you couldn't just swap in another woman at random??
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I know! I mean, I've found my own replacement for jobs before. But not that job.

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
When I was 20 and working as a lifeguard in some pretty posh buildings this Patrick Stewartesque nurosurgeon made a play for me. This was the day after my manager had oh-so-casually brought up that the Dr. had a wife, but she was always at their place "in the country".
Occasionally when I write my student loan check I wonder.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And apparently now George Lucas is going to let him do a Star Wars sitcom. Oz? Wee Oz?
Well...

Seriously.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha! I'd COMM this if the context weren't so creepy.

I just imagine the guy saying, "Something seems different about you, did you do something with your hair?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've turned down a couple trips from guys trying to impress me. I'm not entirely sure why I turned them down, since I was enjoying spending time with both of them. I guess I didn't want to be "that girl." In hindsight, I'd have been even more "that girl" than I would have thought, so it turned out okay.
But no one has offered me money or anything substantial. I managed a free meal and a t-shirt out of hanging with one of them, but that wasn't from him--he was given free food and a shirt too.

I think, creep notwithstanding, that deserves a COMM, when you put Gud's comment on the end.

Why yes. I put a new person under it.

Buffistas, I am de-lurking here with an important grammar question I hope someone can elucidate for me.
Shouldn't Cook's Illustrated be Cooks' Illustrated?
This was asked by a friend and I was left vaguely disturbed by it.
