@ins0mniak @bajax @graf @Owl I will say I like when my wife does the Marine Corps Marathon.

1: The course is a giant cock and balls pointed at the Capitol Building.... because Marins draw dicks on everything. Even DC.

Look at that loop to the East and tell me that's not a giant dick. You can't.

2: We usually get a room at this one hotel where I get to sit on the balcony at two in the morning listening to slow electronic music and wishing I had a cigarette while pretending (maybe pretending...) that we're in a cyberpunk dystopia.

If ''Nightcall'' had been a thing when I took that picture I'd probably have had that song on a multi-hour loop.

@ins0mniak @bajax @graf @Owl If that's the one with the ''I can only eat ince a day if everything is perfect'' disorder either tell her to get her shit together or drop herif she won't.
A GF of mine had a college friend like that. She threw a little childish tempter tantrum in a restaurant because they wouldn't serve her a grilled cheese sandwich off the kid's menu.
Last I saw of her she called herself Elm or Alder some other tree name and has been insisting she's a dude. She would also stand outside for an hour or so a day ''Getting nutrients from the sun and the Mother Earth [dirt]" like a tree.

Real shame, her mom was a very sweet old lady and a widow. I really hope she hasn't had to see her only child like that any longer.

@GoyGirl @ins0mniak @bajax @lord_nougat @graf @Owl Her: ''Don't you ever feel like there's just something out there waiting to get us?"
Me: "No. Stop being weird. You say that pretty much every other week."
Her: Hmmph!

*five to ten meen-etes lay-ter*

Me: ''Babe, can you get me [water/coffee/snack] please?''
Her: ''Ok!" ❤️

Now if I could get her to put her foot down and tell our kids ''No" and have her stick to it once in a while....

@GoyGirl @bajax @ins0mniak @lord_nougat @graf @Owl She is one of the (book) smartest, well educated people I know, but she had a very soft upbringing, meanwhile I got a housekey at five and had to walk to school in the morning.

I have to regularly explain crime to her because she was raised in such a wholesome environment.
''Why can't we do X-thing Y-way?"
''Because people [crime] when they can do it like that.''

See also: A mention I made today about having to explain the a bar that had a curtained off back room with a swing.

To clarify: ''She was talking about taking a shower" refers to my wife not the girl in the lobby whose brother was in their hotel room bathroom.
