But whatever you do, don’t just come out and proclaim your love. All that does is expose your neck. Please pardon my bitterness. I’ll try not to get any on you.
Look, I meant a FEW firecrackers, not the entire inventory of Crazy Joe’s House of Exploding Things (conveniently located just off Interstate 75).
Nonetheless, I forgive you. We can have our first date in the burn center that I’m recovering at – that is, when I’m not undergoing skin graft treatments so painful that I pray to God every night for a merciful exit from this cruel world.
True, darling, I didn’t realize how deeply you felt about us. But with me, honey, the KISS test is virtually identical to the FIRECRACKER test!
But more seriously, in my experience the newness needs to fade away and talks needs to move from the this-is-what-I’ve-done to this-is what-we-will-do. The opening the car door without thinking about it type of consideration for another, or touching a person just because he/she is there, being comfortable with silence, these are all indications beyong the stomach-flipping scene that what you have is more than a physical/emotional attraction.
Now, less seriously, can I get in line for this test?
Very good point. It’s the little things more than the big things that make the difference. A phone call when you know they’re having a bad day. Just a quick stop to give a kiss good morning. Feeling comfortable just holding each other on the couch in front of the fire while talking about your day… those kinds of things. Of course, that STILL doesn’t tell you if you should take the big jump in the first place!
Of course, darling! I’d be more than willing to administer the test to you!
looks at the slowly dwindling number of men around her (not that there were many to begin with)
I think something funny is going on here…
Hah! That’s what YOU think… Grew up in NY state, and I’ve been watching NASCAR since before I could talk! It’s a family tradition! Another reason I MOVED to the south… more tracks within reach!
I’ve not done Daytona or Atlanta yet, but Homestead, Darlington, and Charlotte are under my belt (insert innuendo here).
Oh, yeah, back on topic, you could use somethings in common with your suitor as well (NASCAR). And someone who has shared some experiences, oh, say, maybe like having lived in New York state, or something. Maybe someone who has great pride for country, and maybe even was in the service during conflicts, or maybe someone who enjoys riding in the wind through the Florida Keys. Hmmm… where could you find a guy like that?
If you took them really REALLY fast, maybe a dozen would last you. Being a NASCAR dissenter, you probably do not like things very fast, so I only sent 4. Take with water when you hear “Gentlemen, Start…Your…ENGINES!”. Do not attempt to operate heavy equipment while taking these pills, possible side effects include frothing at the mouth, loose bowels, and bleeding from the ears. No refund for unused portion of prescription.
I would like NASCAR if they made it like the old “Spy Hunter” video game – machine guns, smoke screens, oil slicks, and the theme from “Peter Gunn” piped in over the public address system.

Refund? Am I to understand that you’re CHARGING me for the privilege of offing myself?
If FOX ever gets ahold of it for long it WILL be like that. XNASCAR.
You were going to place an order anyway, I just provided the service! I’m considerate that way. Do you have an HMO card with a prescription rider? Then it would only be $5. Still, once the bottle is opened, the contents COULD be contaminated, and they might not work as advertised for the next vict-…, I mean patient.
