Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Oh god, I used to love "Escape," too. My love for "Brandy" is sort of unholy at this point, though. "At night when the sun goes down, Brandy walks through a silent town, and loves a man who's not around ..."

Man, I *loved* that book with a fierce, burning love in high school and college. I re-read it in my 30s, and I was like, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, JOHN IRVING?

This is me and Flowers in the Attic.

And at the end neither one of them realizes that they're involved with someone who will look for fun in the personal ads while involved with someone else.

Wait, I thought the song made it clear when they met at the bar it was because he answered her personal ad, so they both did know exactly what was going on.

Yeah, I thought the point was that they were actually perfect for each other. Even if they didn't know it when they answered the ads, they recognized it as soon as they saw each other and realized they should have been communicating more honestly.

I may have thought about this too much.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

so they both did know exactly what was going on.

No, they're both cheating on each other.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

No, they're both cheating on each other.

Or at least intended to. Which kind of makes them people who belong together...

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

Yeah--they MEANT to cheat on each other, but ended up with each other.

Related to nothing being discussed here, the guards at the pool were swabbing down the deck. With bleach. Or rather, chlorine used in the pool system.

My nose. My supersonic nose today. Whoo boy.

(And for those wondering, my officemate did have mac& cheese packed for lunch. With tomatoes. Also cheesecake, but I must've missed that scent for the gingery lotion I had on.)

Right, but they realize it once Dude walks into the bar. He answered her cheating ad and said to meet him at the bar. For, you know, cheating purposes. And when Dude saw Ladyfriend, he realized she placed the cheating ad, and she realized he answered it with the intent of cheating and whatnot.

I feel a little ridiculous trying to explain this song.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

For awhile, I thought they were into role playing!
