So, when is she going to sell her hair to buy you a new keyboard? ---

Hey **Jakeline**! You wanna 'splain that name or yours? Jake-line, doesn’t sound like a broad to me. ---

It’s actually an amalgam of my nickname as well as my real name. Everyone does indeed call me Jake IRL. > [@E-Sabbath](#): > > So, when is she going to sell her hair to buy you a new keyboard? We aren’t going to have any of that. With a name like Jake, I need my hair to maintain my girly image. These mishaps do happen. There’s a rather convoluted story about the time we both accidentally bought each other digital cameras for Christmas. > [@twickster](#): > > We look forward to all the “he said-she said” versions of your fights from here on out Good lord. And I thought the therapist bills were expensive before! ---

> [@twickster](#): > > We look forward to all the “he said-she said” versions of your fights from here on out… so much of our relationship advice (which is, as you know, _very_ freely dished out) is based on only one side of the story… 😉 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I was a member here first, and thereby automatically still win any fights mentioned in public. I think that’s in a copy of the rules somewhere…I’m sure I saw that. ---

Hello, and welcome! Does she root around in closets and “happen across” her birthday presents as well? Wrap a mouse up and give that to her (a computer mouse, not a dead rodent!) in lieu of SDMB surprise. If someone gets the goat, I’ll heat the water…and sharpen the knives (heh). ---

> [@eleanorigby](#): > > Does she root around in closets and “happen across” her birthday presents as well? Nah, she’s not the type that would ever try to ruin somebody’s surprise. > [@](#): > > Wrap a mouse up and give that to her (a computer mouse, not a dead rodent!) in lieu of SDMB surprise. Actually, I think a dead rodent would be much _more_ of a surprise, but I’m beginning to think there’s going to be dead goat all too soon… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/straight-dope-ruined-christmas/336248.md?page=1)
