I used to think that "Roman candle" was a crazy euphemism for "early Christian." 

Well, if it isn't I intend to work hard to make it one.

I was all going to propose on a trip to Vegas.  I wanted to get a gondola ride at the Venetian and pull the ring out there.  But early in the weekend she said "Everyone at work thinks you're going to propose this weekend.  Ha ha isn't that funny?"  And we were in the World's Largest Gift Shop she picked up an enormous novelty ring with a plastic "diamond" about two inches wide, put it on and said "Shoud I show this to everyone at work?"  So I was all "Shit, she thinks the notion of getting engaged now is ridiculous," and I just walked around with the ring in my jacket pocket all weekend.

I finally proposedl something like six weeks later, on a rocky beach on Tilghman Island, on the eastern shore of Maryland.  Later I told her about the Vegas thing and she felt kind of bad about it.

You know, when I saw the movie "Meet the Parents," it kicks off with the guy all set to propose to his girl, then needing to back down.  It IMMEDIATELY turned me off to the movie, and I found it cringeworthy all the way through as a result.

The movie was pretty cringeworthy by any measure.  There's something about Ben Stiller and suffering in his films that puts me off.

Anyone seen "Envy"?  Horrid.

[V-Adore]

I saw "Meet the Fockers" with my parents and grandparents, and the cringe rating was so severe that I don't dare see the first one. I think my head might explode from secondhand shame.

I think that I must have an overinflated superego or something, because I find most movies cringeworthy. I hate seeing characters make idiots out of themselves. Or like "Catch Me If You Can," it was so crazy and nervewracking that I just couldn't watch it.

I had to watch that one night last winter when we had a boat fire. They had to wait for the fire marshal and arson investigators to come out, so we had to monitor the ship and check for listing 24/7. I sat in our medic car with our paramedic and she wanted to watch CMIYC. So that's how I whiled away the hours between 0200 and 0400 that day.

Even wearing my fire bunkers, I got a little cold after all that sitting around.

This is why I basically hide during the Michael Scott parts of The Office. What with all the cringing and all.

[smick]

Oh god... the UK office does that to me times 10.

Watching the direct interview parts with Ricky Gervais made me feel exactly like I feel when I'm trapped into a conversation with someone I can't stand.  I wanted to say to the television, "OK, I'll let you go." or "Sorry, gotta run, I've got a bunch of work to get done, and I'm really busy.  We'll have to get together sometime." and then never call it back.

On top of that, I love the series.  What the hell does that say?
