  • An apology for the oncoming apocalypse.

    I appear to have caused a major malfunction the operation of the universe.

    Next sunday the reality we all know will cease to be. Stars will spontaneously explode, the laws of nature, gravity and physics will no longer apply. There'll be roses blooming in the Arctic circle and icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico.

    And what will cause this breakdown in the natural order of things. Me! Namely the fact that next sunday Boggles has a date! Witha woman. A real one. Who doesn;t need a straitjacket or a padded cell or a guide dog!

    I have recently been flirting and attempting to impress a lovely lady who comes in the shop. She is a fellow country music fan, can quote both monty Python and Terry Pratchett and has been rebuilding a car in her garage. A 1963 2-door, split screen Morris Minor. Quite possibly the greatest car ever.

    Anyway she came in today and was saying about how it was almost ready for a proper run out. I jokingly suggested that I was free on Sunday afternoon and she agreed. I suggested a rather nice pub so we are goign for a drive and then tea and apparently she was going to ask me anyway as she had been in yesterday asking ym co-worker if i was single!!

    Obviously something will go wrong and the normal order of things will soon be restored

    Don't worry, Boggles. I recently realized that I'm approaching five months with BT. That's longer than I've dated anyone since high school. It's....freaky. *checks outside* Nope, no flying pigs....yet.

        Good luck with that.

        Don't worry, the apocalypse doesn't officially start until I procreate, everything else is precursor.

        However, I'd be happy to see roses in the Arctic circle.
        If I dropped everybody who occasionally said something stupid from my list of potential partners, I wouldn’t even be able to masturbate

          Now, now. This is hardly the end of the world. There are several nerdy/engineery, Python-quoting girls out there.

          We just stay inside most of the time. You got lucky to be working at one of the few places we drag ourselves. Cursed Daystar...

          Course, that might be why I never had a date until after college...

            This sounds like something based more on "we have shared interests" than "she looks like a hot lay", so YAY - may you both be happy!

              Congratulations.

              Let's see, a country music fan, Monty Python fan, a Terry Pratchett fan . . . well as the man sang, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad...

              Congratulations, and believe me, if the world didn't end when I started dating again and stayed dating for more than a year now, and then got engaged, the world's ending won't rain on your parade either.

                    Yes, everything's better with zombies. Even the end of the world.

                    The people demand zombies!

                      No, see, when the Myran Calendar ends, there's supposed to be a Zombie Apocalypse. A group of friends and myself will hold up in the army base in New Mexico. Plenty of Ammo there.

                          Well, that was rather good fun.

                          One could really start to enjoy this dating lark!

                          We seemed to spend the entire meal quoting Discworld novels and The Life of Brian!

                          And that car is absolutely awesome.

                          And we're going to the pub quiz next week. Turns out we are both quiz geeks and have even been on the same TV quiz shows.
