He can sail boats and race little cars (Honda CRXs) and he was in the Navy. Mmm, sailors. (Mostly, though, he can put up with me. Few can.) ---

> [@John Carter of Mars](#): > > ā€œWhatā€™s your boyfriend have that I donā€™t?ā€ is something Iā€™ve never asked. It seems like such a whiny, wussy type of thing to say. But maybe not, if you cultivate a ballsy, ironic cynicism around it. Print it on a T shirt, put it on under a black jacket and a scowl, and go pound a few at your neighborhood bar. ---
