Journal trmj's Journal: Shocking news from the real world! 58

Journal by trmj

A relationship has been building for some time now and is about to culminate in shacking up! Republicans, act now before morality goes down the drain with non-married couples living together!

Yes, that's right, SolemnDragon and Blinder are not only a couple, but are shacking up on the first of October! Oh noes!!!11!!one

Quick! Rdewald! Tell them it's a bad idea (but don't tell them together, make it seem like you're giving special advice to each in private)! FortKnox! Tell them to be wary and make sure they know it's too early for something like this! Kesuki! Plot Blinder's death!

We cannot allow these grown adults make decisions for themselves! I mean, they're practically kids!

Me? Oh, I'm quite happy for them and plan on inviting them over for a celebratory dinna as soon as I learn how to cook yummy stuff that Solemn can eat. Then again, I'm not Christian or Republican.

I will be the official PR Spinner for this event, so any and all questions / flames / congratulations should be posted here. Trolls will not be responded to unless they first make accounts.

    As someone who has been shacked up for the past 4 years, I say good on them. And... Welcome to the club! I'll even sponsor their political asylum application if necessary - I know where to get good organic dragon-friendly veggies here ;-)

      While your offers of political asylum are appreciated, there have been several international agreements and several more pending stating that those two "are not allowed to move out of the country under any circumstances". Something about Blinder and exports from Columbia... I don't know the details.
      • Is Norway part of that agreement? If the socialists win today's election, they would never allow such an agreement to exist...and Norway has enough money from all that oil to carry out a sneak-those-heathens-out mission... but shhhh! Don't tell anyone about this!
        • At Weebl's advice, we forgot about Norway. Kenya believe it?

          Also, from that same panel of advisors, we ended up with a cheesecake llama, a severe hatred of (or love for) oranges, and several office phones composed entirely of bananas.
          • Kenya believe it?

            Kuwait for a moment?

            Is it just me or is it Chile in here?

            • How much does norway?
              more kilograms than i can measure!

              well, how much does zimbabwe, then?

              we'll find out by using the delhi (deli) scale!

              Is that the new delhi or the old delhi?

              Oh, that was a bad joke. It's Rome-ing all over the place. Whoever sold it to ya, 'e-gypt ya.

              (right. I'll run away now.)
              • Is that the new delhi or the old delhi?
                I'll have to Czech.
                Oh, that was a bad joke.
                It was a real Turkey.

                You want bad jokes? I've got bad jokes as far as the eye can see -- no matter how much Ukraine your neck.

                That's enough for now. I've got Togo.
                • Hey, why are you russian off?

                    it Gauls me to think that you might hurry off, especially when you might just need a 'Uganda pat on the back to feel all right.

                  Far be it from me to resort to prague-tical measures, such as Tibet money on your staying past a certain- *checks watch* hour...

                  • Hey, why are you russian off?
                    Well I was going to stay for a picnic but I felt a few drops on my head. "Bahrain!" I said and Iran away. So now I'm still Hungary.

                      I Congo on all day.

                      Well, I won't even settle for a Thai.

                      Time to turn up the heat.

                      When you were little, did you play with Barbados?

                      They didn't like what Mr. Rather had to say so they decided to Sudan.

                      I was playing my Qatar but I'm not very good at it yet. This guy came up and said "What Tunisia tryin' to play?

                    • b-b-but I've just been sitting on the subway preparing more (I'm the crazy guy in the corner scribbling on a piece of paper and giggling out loud).

                      A story, you say? Okay. I like your stories.

        Funny how the meaner right-wing governments (BushCo/USA and Ralph Klein/Alberta) tend to be run by alcoholics. Maybe I can get a grant to study it . . .

        (slap on side of head)oh, right. Back on topic - great news for the 2 of them.

  • I said no text you ignorant git!
  • Yeah. We all knew BD was a typo. Cute attempt at hiding their sordid relationship, though. ;^)
    • I've got to second this. This is about as much of a surprise as Anakin Skywalker becoming Darth Vader in Ep 3 or Rob Schneider making a bad movie.

      Good kids, good folks. What better and much happiness.
      • Woah woah woah.. back up a minute... Somebody let Rob Schneider make another movie?
      • er, we kinda figured that everybody had it all figured out, already, so we thought that we'd treat it that way until everyone caught on...
        i mean, c'mon, did anybody NOT know this?? Quite a number of people seem to have figured it out before we ourselves did (by which i mean buffer, 'cause he's smart like dat)

        and... we've kinda been shacked up for months now. what trmj failed to mention is that we're basically just moving to a bigger place and consolidating our computer collections.

            Count me in that group as well. :)

            Exactly. I think I would've given a ridiculous spread on this. From outside observation, everything attains a certain clarity.
          • Ditto, and I'm significantly further out on the edge of the "slashdot group" than you are. =)
            • Well then, come a little closer :-)
              • There's that whole "time" issue there--I really only slashdot on my off hours at work, as there's Final Fantasy XI to be played when I'm at home (and thank everything that's lovely and good that my wife plays too, and in fact is only a few levels behind me on her main character).
        • i mean, c'mon, did anybody NOT know this??

          *raises hand* I didn't. When it comes to human relations, I'm hopeless. I wouldn't put 2+2 together unless it was blatantly obvious what was going on. And even then, I'd still have my doubts. When it comes to guessing other people's intentions, I'm even worse than that. I'm the kind of person that wouldn't know love unless it hit me with a club and dragged me to a cave.

          • I'm the kind of person that wouldn't know love unless it hit me with a club and dragged me to a cave.
            I think anyone might have trouble identifying it in that situation :-)
          • I didn't. When it comes to human relations, I'm hopeless.

            Come on now. I'm utterly hopeless at human relations, but even I worked it out. And trust me, that's saying something...

        • we're basically just moving to a bigger place and consolidating our computer collections.

          that just screams LAAAAANNNN PAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

          Maybe it's just me.
        • I, for one, am shocked and horrified.

          Actually I'm not, but I felt like swimming against the stream a bit.

          Does this mean no more late-night Scrabble under the covers for me and blinder?

          Cheers,

          • I wouldn't be so sure about that... I mean, he does live in Massachusettes now...

            Er, what I mean to say is that we deny all knowledge of any involvement on the part of Blinder with foreign power usurpers. Until said power is achieved. Then we were there for you from day 1.
        • I thought it was pretty clear in the whole blinder-moving-to-Boston thing.
          • Heck it was obvious even before blinder moved to Boston.

            The question is if I was one of those who guessed something might be up before blinder and Solemn did.

            Oh congrads guys ... be sure to indulge in plenty of whichever sins you two find mutually enjoyable.
            • Heck it was obvious even before blinder moved to Boston.

              They were shacked up before blinder moved to Boston?

              The question is if I was one of those who guessed something might be up before blinder and Solemn did.

              I suppose the question is when did they realize it? It certainly seemed obvious that they were an item with the whole Las Vegas thing. It never occurred to me then or since that they wouldn't have known it or that they were trying to keep it a secret. I thought they were pretty open about it all along

                Yes I suppose it is a question of when they realized it.

                  Everyone knew it.

                  The guy knew it.

                  A while after they weren't going out anymore, someone said something to the girl about "When you were dating [the guy]" and it was a total surprise to her. She didn't know they were dating.
        • I didn't. I thought it sounded like Blinder was, like, sixty or something.^-^
        • well... I'll have to cop to that charge (hah! I'm a cop now... get it!) I just figured he was moving there because he knew you and liked the place. I have an emotional radr that reaches exactly 1mm from the center of my brain (which unfortunately excludes many of my own emotions from detection).

          But as a Republican Christian.... I'm happy for you! A "marriage" does not indicate that a loving committed relationship exists. Nor does the absence of a "marriage" indicate a lack of love and commitment.

          • Well said.

            <CYA>I wasn't making a stab at the normal Christians or Republicans, just at the fanatics. Hence the whole sarcastic overtones :-)</CYA>
    • Well, yeah. We figured most people knew about it already, but since no official announcement was made, it was decided that eventually somebody would need to do that. My journal seemed like a neutral enough place, what with the low troll count and such.

      Also, it wasn't really announced because the above listed people had been giving their two cents and the lovely couple were wary of everybody else doing the same.
    • actually... it was never a typo :)
      it was just a way to short-hand "blinder's darling" but the "d" could always stand for "dragon" i guess... completely an after thought.

      sordid? a victorian and a straight edge? teeehehehe sw is teh funnie.

  • i support this motion because that means you get to come visit me you jerk :3
  • I could see the relationship developing oh before the beginning of summer? i don't recall the exact time/date but it became clear to me ahh... the draggy has a blinder on... er or something like that.

    well good times for them ahead i'm sure.
  • for confirming my suspicion.

    I, for one, am very happy for teh dragon and teh blinder.

    Happy future for you both!

    ^_^

  • I knew they liked each other before they did. ;-)
