TLDR: “Cut thy hand off to spite my fate?”
I have been out of the dating world for a long time, and I am glad.
But I still laugh when I read things like this.
I don’t know. Maybe I’m too cynical, but I wouldn’t blame Stanley for wanting to take things a bit slower. They’re not really at that stage of their relationship. She sounds a bit needy.
All too often, in my experience, women like that meet you once for coffee, giggle at your attempts to write down their phone number with your left hand, then tell you they’re moving to Qothor next week and they don’t think long distance relationships can work.
Understandable, having met my own for share of Stanleys whose approach is basically “Hi! Wanna get married?”, Qothor starts to hold a certain allure.
Enjoy your life there with your fellow shrine-maidens, laughing, sipping nectar, comparing hand collections…
I attended a weekend seminar for surgeons that included something like this. It was in 1980, I think. I don’t think they were nudes and there weren’t any women in the class. I was just a student observer.
That’s brilliant
When I rule the world, this will be required for all government meetings, so that neither the public nor the representatives themselves take them seriously.
It’s brilliant. Would make cspan so much better
How about real time deepfakery using the Three Stooges?
But that would grant the politicians a dignity they don’t deserve…
Wife: Are you cool?
Me: Yeah man, I’m really cool.
Wife: I was addressing the baking rack.
Me: Your baking rack doesn’t have my savoir faire. Or my je ne c’est quoi.
Wife: If you don’t know, how can you be sure you have it?
Bonus points for mis-writing je ne sais quoi and making it funnier
Oops. Or, as they say in France, oops.
