I'm on the 'sometimes you know' bandwagon. It helps to have dated every asshole in your chosen city, so that 'the one' replies to your snarky, made up, missed connection on CL, and got the joke, you know. I knew after 4 dates. We got married 11 months later, 6 years ago. Sometimes you know. After that, you have to make it work.
@OldTowneTavern: Well, it's tough to keep the romance in a long-term relationship. Try having a Date Night. Go out for a nice dinner, then take yourself to a romantic movie, and see if the sparks don't fly. Heck, I bet you'll be in your own pants in no time!
@squeakel: Or, sometimes you just know and you're married for ten years and the next thing you know your spouse has chopped you up and is putting your body parts in a wood chipper.
Must get this off my chest, as I live in Prop 8 Country. Has anyone noticed the absolute evil practice of the local idiot news stations, when reporting on said Prop 8 will run footage of gay men tongue kissing after their wedding vows? They don't ever show straights tongue kissing on their wedding days, so I think these corporate news shills are doing so to scare the crap out of the haters. I think even a liberal family member of mine took the hate bait. I'm fed up; just fricking fed up. I'm a straight girl, btw.
Good luck to these fellows. They are going to need it. Not sure they needed to spawn so quickly, but whatevs.
@Alex Carnevale: yes they do, the same way they always show the most regrettable leather queens and cracked out drag queens when showing TV footage of gay pride. now, I'm all for having a good time and these people have the right to dress as they will and they are in public, bla bla bla, no doubt, but if the networks are going to play like THAT then they need to show falling down drunk frat boys and girls puking their guts out at spring break (and worse), etc. etc. etc. - fair is fair. the networks just lo-ve to make the gays look like freaks, and when I'm watching these things, things I was at? I'm always thinking "this is so NOT what 99% of the people there looked like". it's blatently homophobic behavior on the part of the networks.
@youngmarblegiant: love that band by the way. I have Colossal Youth framed on my wall. Hole did "Credit in the Straight World." It was pretty good but not the same.
@youngmarblegiant: Ian is off fighting monkeys and Alex has taken over the weekend gig. Ian swears he'll be reporting in on his progress and contributing on a less regimented basis.
@OfficeMaxie: they're worth 10 points apiece, and for today only I'll personally throw in a gift certificate to bed bath and beyond if you can take out three at a time. bonus points if you can do it w/o damaging your paint job
we went on a little drunken spree here last night, pulling "yes on 8" signs out of yards - now I've got a stockpile and am looking for ideas. thoughts?
@OfficeMaxie: Ts. They know that if Prop. 8 passes, it doesn't mean THEIR marriage is automatically saved, right? The wife will continue to schtup the cable TV man every Tuesday, regardless of what the gays are doing. I think there is confusion on this point.
@OfficeMaxie: Ironically, it's usually those "yes on 8" women who wind up falling for gay closet cases. Tell those Claymates, this measure is saving them from themselves.
@OfficeMaxie: Well, in my head, I do what Minsley suggests. But, in reality, I just glare, shake my head from side-to-side and give the thumbs down. However, now that I've seen parents from my children's school holding up Yes on 8 signs on the corner, I plan to shun them and speak about them behind their backs at school events and in the neighborhood.
@busyness: or you could make sure to indoctrinate their children with your gay friends, gay shows...you know, make their kids turn out gay. This is how it is done.
@secretagentman: This is all kinds of good. They love each other, their girls are going to have wonderful lives, and anyone who cannot see it is a lost soul.
That photo looks like one gay man holding a baby in front of a mirror. My girlfriend and I always do a Gay Reality Check before we leave the house to make sure we aren't dressed alike. I would recommend the same for these two.
@Minsley Tortimer: What's wrong with assless chaps? At least I never have to try to discretely pull them out of my butt-crack when I stand up at a formal event!
@forwardmotion: I have am friends with a lesbian couple who are very similar in size and coloring and when they dress similarly we call them the Olsens.
@forwardmotion: I'm straight and my boyfriend and I often will show up to dates in matching outfits. We also get mistaken for brother and sister a lot too. I think its just the old adage that you end up looking like your partner.

I have two friends who moved in together after a week. Ten years later they're happily married with a kid. Sometimes you just know.
And, of course, sometimes you THINK you know and your new amour turns out to have a family in another state.

Got suggestions for how to respond to the "Yes on 8" loonies swarming an intersection I drive past twice a day?
