    I saw a meteor shower once. I swear to god bowls of Campbell's "Thick and Chunky" soup were trying to attack me. I couldn't figure out why until I realized that they were after my Lucky Charfms (pronounced, as with my aunt Charfles (with a silent "f") with a silent "f"). They mistook me for that goddamn TV leprechaun again, but I outsmarted them. I hid in the bushes until the bad men left, and then when I knew it was safe to come out again, I didn't. Thank god for wireless networking, or I'd never be able to relate this story to all of you. And just in case you thought I was taking drugs or something, well, I wasn't (because of Nancy Reagan). On second thought, I may have dreamed the part about the soup, but I will nevertheless remain hidden in these bushes until New Years, when I can celebrate the feast of St. Luddicker (pronounced, unlike my aunt Charfles (with a silent "f") with absolutely no "f" at all). See you all then!

    Maybe it's just that my current gf seems to appreciate the direct approach better (with or without the booze.)

    Or maybe I'm just really unconvincing with the sensitive/romantic stuff. The snickering probably doesn't help either :P

      This is priceless. The goatse link warning is modded down as offtopic before the goatse post itself.

      Next time, moderator, HAVE SOME RESPECT for someone who could have been your father. (Well, I just didn't have any change on me then.)
