I think you should get points for not pointing out it’s not a sci-fi (or SF, but we won’t start that) DVD, but a _fantasy_ DVD. And buy her flowers you big doof. ---

Huh. If one of OUR suppliers gave me _The Two Towers_ DVD two weeks ahead of time, I wouldn’t have even _noticed_ him trying to “chat me up”. Hmf, the guy could’ve been trying everything in **punha’s** post as well and I wouldn’t have noticed. 'Course, it wouldn’t’ve worked, because I’d be taking the shortest way between where I was at that point to home so DogDad and I could watch the movie. ::jealous sigh:: ---

Dude. If she wanted you to pay attention to her telling you about the guy hitting on her, she really should have told you about it BEFORE she gave you the DVD. I mean, duh. ---

DVD or no DVD, **SkipMagic** _loves_ it when men hit on me (in fact, he chooses to believe that men are hitting on me when they aren’t). It means he has something that other men want. And if that something happened to come along with, say, a set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer CDs . . . . . . he’d be in little **Skippy** heaven. 😃 ---

So what kind of cars did y’all get? I think she’s a hot tamale, too, but about all I can afford to offer up right now is a used bicycle. ---

To those of you worried about **garius’** relationship based on this geeky faux pas, fear not. The fact that they’re still dating after [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=174272) **and** [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=196331), means **garius** is, relationshipwise, invincible. ---

The DVD will still be there after you’ve buried her face with kisses of gratitude, caresses of joy, and filled her ears with the righteous rage and threats for this slimy swine who has dared to sully her presence with his profane existence. Women is delicate creatures, you know. They requires considerable maintenance. 😉 ---

Please- someone tried to “chat her up”? Who the hell cares? You tell him to get bent, score some free loot, and move on! What are you supposed to do, exactly, I wonder? ---

Let’s get him back by putting on the DVD he gave you in a childish attempt to steal you away form me, and then have sex the whole time it’s on!** Not the best plan. That movie is a smorgasbord of man meat. I don’t care how good looking you are or how much in love the two of you are; you will not come off well in comparison. Junie, pervy elf fancier. ---
