So long as Beef doesn't buy one of those "radiation shields" that actually makes the problem worse.

[theinevitable]

I love that Molly is forced to adopt the phrase "peter." You know there had to have been some instance where she argued with him about whether to use that word, and finally she gave up and gave in.

also: I told my friend "oh dogg achewood today is sick!"
"why?"
"cause... 'cause of something gross"
"what is it?"
"it's a line. or... an image."
"of what, dude? come on!"
"of roast beef tea... of him... of roast beef lowering his testes into a garbage disposal."
"...oh."

It's not just the testicles, Molly!

Although it is rarer than breast cancer in males (which is no joke and I know a guy)

I'm a pretty big fan of how Molly and Beef's relationship is handled, actually, in terms of... the realities of awkward-people love, of dork love, of geek love, etc.

Because... okay... you don't get a much better meet-cute than "In Heaven" but at the end of the day, they both seemed as though they were pretty unlucky in love, didn't date much, couldn't handle the weirdness of the whole deal being as wrapped inside their own heads in different ways, as they both were.

And they just click and they're heel-head-over and everything seems so right and, wow, here's that love that everyone was always talking about that will make my life perfect forever and this is never gonna change and I'm so completed by this whole thing and then... one day they wake up and... they're just in a normal people relationship. The shine of the new and the sheen of their inexperience are off and... okay, what now?

They're a coupla weird people who dig each other and have sex and such but... love and sex didn't fix their entire lives forever like they'd always been thinking it was going to and... there's this weird sort of codependent slightly-disappointed letdown vibe going down with them. Not enough to break them up because they ARE pretty good for each other, as good as weird people can get for each other, but... laced with that disappointment that Finding Somebody didn't create happiness forever and kinda blaming each other for it.

It's sort of the only realistic way to handle the subject of someone like Beef in a relationship and I quite like it.

I like me the cartoons about thurr funny cats.

Between this and the ChatSack, it would appear Onstad has now defined most of the possible interactions between mobile phones and testicles.

And just now I realize that this is one big circle that has been completed. The GOF and the Couch arcs were just interludes.

On a different note, I must admit that I always liked Molly. But it's the first time in months that she shows up and she just... nags...

[V-Adore]

This is going to get me crucified, but I have been in the Molly position here: not necessarily about peter cancer, but more about the whole "attempting to explain to paralytically depressed SO that something everyday will not destroy him, and starting to lose patience" gig.

[wombat]

I'm not going to crucify you V because I have also been in Molly's position.  Is it something about those computer guys? It has changed with age though - now instead of being depressed about normal life, he's often ranting and curmudgeonly about the same things. It's actually an improvement, although I don't win the argument any more often.

Littlefalls, you are right. Don't let them pick on you.  And, we NEED Molly to nag and such to get these Beef gems.  Yeah, I wouldn't want to have lunch with her either. But it is good when she shows up with the cartoon cats.

She ought to update her dang blog, though, lazy &*^%$.

[theinevitable]

goddamnit littlefallsmets! I need encouragement at my age!

I was kind of hoping the lame note my last relationship ended on was not par for the course.

but also: man, molly is so lame.

and I just realized that my last girlfriend was molly. because I was Roast Beef.

"what if your parents hate the cat, and we have to take it back, and they put it to sleep!"
"daniel... that won't happen. relax."
"but what if it does! what will we do? you have to think about these things!"
"god, you're such a downer."

Your relationship ended on this conversation? Oy.

[theinevitable]

oh, no. that was just an example.

the actual ending conversation was much worse. because I was right. and she acknowledges that I was right. and everyone says that I was right. but, it was a shitty relationship. oh well.
