moving away from “my way” or “your way” to the idea of a third, better way

To me, this is the key: not someone being right, and not someone teaching the other one how to not be a horrible person. Rather, if this (like anything else in a marriage) is going to work, you have to do it together. So, as you said, the course gave you a shared experience and therefore a common language, and let you…

It sounds like a great game, but I have to admit (and maybe it’s The Old in me) that when I saw this sentence:

Even on the day of your flight, check for upgrades. My wife managed to upgrade her ticket from coach to 1st class from ABQ to Atlanta for $100. Well worth it.

Are you seriously telling me you put a $3000 computer on a $40 folding table?

This might seem glib as well, but I don’t think so. As I have (slowly, painfully) getting my financial shit in some semblance of order (about 2 decades too late, but whatever), I found that the advice that helped was also the advice that Ben Franklin gives in this short:

I read once that Hemmingway said you should always stop when you’re going good. That way you won’t have trouble picking it up again.

I’m the same, Enlil. Dungeon Keeper was great. I was enormously disappointed in B&W, and never believed a word Molyneaux said after that. He means well, I know, but by now you’d think he would have learned to watch what he says.

There’s a simpler method: your lifestyle cost = your yearly salary + 20%

Hey now! I’m a guy, and if I’m going to get on a bike it had better have at LEAST a cupcake holder. Maybe a bacon holder too.

I don’t even remember. Normally, when I play RPGs I end up being a little bit more good than your average paladin. So I started a game of Fallout 3 with the express purpose of blowing up Megaton. Then, I thought, I would be so far negative that I would never get out.

I’m just going to pretend that this is just the newest Portlandia sketch in the hopes that it will keep me out of the clock tower for one more day.

You seem confused. There is no one in Megaton. Not anymore....

Do you think it will be a release date, or just an announcement that they are working on it?

I don’t mean to pry, but you posted it and I am confused, naive and possibly not all that bright. What do you do, and what is a “duo appointment”? Is this related to a scene from Bachelor Party? (NTTAWWT, mind you)

Fuck that principal and every adult even tangentially connected to this. There are 30 kids graduating. Are you telling me that the other 29 had no idea whatsoever that Evan was gay? Give me a break.

I’m so sorry :( I buy my wife flowers sometimes, but just for fun. I don’t buy her things to apologize if I’ve made a mistake; I just say, “I’m sorry.” I buy her things because I like to give her things and I like to make her happy.

The only spelling bee I remember was just with my 4th grade class, when nearly the entire class was taken out by the second U in vacuum. It was a bloodbath.

Also, I vow now before God, Mohammad, Gandhi, Thor, Odin, Zeus, Apollo, Krishna, Brahma and FSM I will never, ever see this shiny, stinking, lumpy, corned, peanutty piece of shit of a movie.

Can’t we just pretend the movie doesn’t exist? It worked pretty well for the last one...
