Angelina & Billy Bob.
Even when I’m wearing my Pope hat they scare me.

I once heard them described as “two circus trains crashing into a biker bar”.

I’ll take it seriously…

In general,we agree on the important stuff and disagree on everything else.

We both game and share values (family, education, music, justice…) We both have huge senses of humor and will gleefully tease each other about everything.

Beyond that. I’m 20 and he’s 32. I’m a liberal/independant, he’s Republican. He was a Marine. I’m a pacifist. Pick a political topic and we will disagree. I’m sexually experiamental. He’s conservative. (He thinks sex in the living room is “wild”. There were several years of my life where sex in a bed was the rare treat.) I’m religious, he’s an ex-Catholic. I’m pretty free-love, he gets tense when one of my gay friends offers me a backrub. He cooks. I order out. He is either working or playing, I multi task. I’m tall, he’s short.

Its a great relationship.

Mary Matalin and James Carville.

I realize it’s over now, but I never did understand the Julia Roberts/Lyle Lovett thing.

Just from a “looking weird together” standpoint - a friend of mine (6’5") used to date a girl who was 4’10". That was freaky.

I don’t know these people personally, but there are two people who legally changed their names to:

Saint Don D. Homofreakian

and his lovely wife

Peace D. Homoefreakian

…no lie, they live in Jacksonville, NC according to the internet white pages (although it doesn’t reflect their full names, just the last).

I always thought Alan Greenspan and Andrea Mitchell were a strange couple, even though professionally I suppose it does make some sense.

Then again, what do I know? :slight_smile:

I agree. Never understood why a cool guy like him wasted his time with her.

The wierdest couple i know consists of a gay guy and a woman who was sane until she married a gay man. You see the guy is very obviously gay. He has been caught in bed with men and what not so there is no question about that fact to anyone but this guy and his wife. The reality is that this guy married this chick as a statment to the world that he isn’t gay. Unfortunately this chick thought that he really loved her (which he does in a sense) so she is devistated now that this guy wants a divorce. And to top it all off this chick origanally only married this guy to get out of her shit-hole home town but after they moved away she fell in love with him for real. Now that he wants a divorce, b/c he finally accepted reality, she is starting to go a little crazy b/c she has been left by her husband for the pursuit of another man. Definatly an interesting couple to know to say the least.

:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Where do you find this stuff?! I couldn’t stop looking… the pages go on… it’s like staring at an accident.

My wife and I disagree on almost every major issue, with a few notable exceptions. I’m an atheist, she’s a Christian. I’m a libertarian, she’s a liberal. We are both pro-choice, but she’s one of those who are grudgingly pro-choice because they recognize the problems of the alternative, I’m practically pro-abortion. The list goes on and on…

Wow. So he finally found his Tinkerbell, eh? Last time I visited that site, he was still looking.

Well, um… good for him, then.
