DAMN IT, BALK.
I'm trying to woo her. Back. Off.

GAWD we're friends! It was jarring to learn of ASB w.r.t. TV and movies, but I'm over it.

I was a bit of an obsessive back in my high school days and I think I saw Secret Policemen's Other Ball about 40 times. I can still recite his bit about drugs verbatim. (EVEN AFTER ALL THE DRUGS! I KNOW!!)
It is ALWAYS cheaper that way.
