I know it would make for very bad Spanish, but I totally saw a "su" before "primera vez" and that was not a pleasant shiver that went through my body.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thursdays are a lot more awesome since I started telecommuting on Fridays.
Half of my Thursdays are Fridays, which makes the other half of my Thursdays kind of suck by comparison.

That Batman story was great. I liked the author's understated telling of the tale. And Lenny B. Robinson sounds like a fab guy.
The men in high heels story, also great. And this made laugh out loud:
...two best friends, Coy Barton, 24, and Mark Cramer, 25, who go out together as a duo dubbed Coma...
Why did I never think of partnering up with a bestie and going out as a titled duo when I was in my twenties? That would have been good times. I would have named us Fugue State.

We were a titled quartet. We were titled "Oh, them."

I was part of a threesome called the "Diego Desperados." And, yes, that was a threesome in all its meanings.

Because books.
I was part of a duo everyone called Frick and Frack.

See, I admire the intentional self naming there. Of a designated groups or pairings.
I did get "Jen and those guys," once and it was so funny and true in that moment and overheard by enough of "those guys" that it's still a running joke (our FB private little buddy group is titled "...and those guys."), but I had no agency there. It's just not the same. Missed opportunities, man.
I am Jen; this is Betty. Together, we are Fugue State. Dammit!

I was being flip, but we were a named group. With superpowers: [link] That was kinda fun. Although I'm sure we were "oh, them" to many people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
We were Castle Chaos. Started out a quartet, ended up a threesome (in that sense, yes). Originally our friends just named our house, but the they started announcing us when we arrived somewhere. "Castle Chaos is here!"

Oh, yeah, I got that ita ! I was adding my admiration of Sail, Amy, you, now Zen, etc. to having intentionally named yourselves. Because I am missing this from my own history!
Actually, really because Coma made me laugh so hard. I think it is both awesome and hilarious, and I think Coma take Coma as a duty and a responsibility to the scene... sharp, matching outfits and all. I admire the dedication (though not the peg leg look; I would tailor that differently, I think. Anyway...)
Fugue State! I'ma start a band.
