I didn't mean it like that!

“You’ve got quite a nice body, under all the pork fat.” My new wife, the day after our wedding.
“I didn’t mean it like that. I just mean you look better when you’re lying down and everything flattens out.” Her again, trying to do some damage control a few minutes ago.

More to come soon, including a full report, or at least a full report of the bits I remember.
Walk out of this office. While you still can.

Why did none of you tell me that Battlestar Galactica was so good? Yes, people have been telling me to watch it, but it’s so damn fine that you should have been strapping me to a chair and propping my eyes open with metal forceps, Clockwork Orange-style. I’ve only watched the first half dozen episodes from season 1, but it’s so much better than the mini-series I almost can’t believe it. Did they fire the original scriptwriter and hire a roomfull of geniuses? The script is awesome, the acting is first rate and the special effects are just peachy. Even better, there’s a sense of gritty realism about the whole thing that been missing from mainstream sf (with the possible exception of Firefly) for far too long.
Right. I’m off to EBay to find series 2 on the cheap.
Wedding report still to come.
Should I be flattered or offended?

How’s about this for a could-be-taken-two-ways sort of statement, from one of my friends the other day?
“I really want to meet your fiancee. Any woman who’d agree to marry you must be very special.”
