We chatted about Warren Zevon and a few other things… I subsequently went to a baseball game made up of online users, and there was a woman there getting yelled at by a couple of guys. I went over and told them to back off and be civil, it’s just a fun game. They backed off, and I discovered that the woman in question was the woman I had been chatting with about Zevon. The rest is history. Ballsy move! But hang on a second. > [@Warren Zevon Dead at 56](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/warren-zevon-dead-at-56/200270/51): > > > [@Warren Zevon Dead at 56](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/warren-zevon-dead-at-56/200270/51): > > > > I met my wife because of Warren Zevon. I was chatting with a bunch of friends one day, and mentioned Zevon. My future wife was in earshot, and she perked up and said, “You like Warren Zevon??” And it was like we were immediately old friends. We were engaged in three weeks, married in six months, and it’s now 13 years and counting. You were chatting online with a bunch of friends so loudly that your future wife **overheard** the conversation because she was in earshot? You’re doing the internet wrong; you’re not supposed to actually talk to your computer when you type things on it, much less loudly enough to be overheard by your future wife. Also, you’re lying. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pitting-honeybadger/810183)._
