ICARUS: haha! double love and turkey pot pies back at you!
(and bears? please ask the wife "huh?" nicely... because... BEARS?)
Oh, I did when the subject was first broached. Here is an approximate reproduction of that conversation.
<Wife reads my Ewok story (I try to encourage her to read my ramblings as much as possible, no matter how strange, twisted, or even flirty)...>
<She looks up at me, annoyedly, and says,>
"
You are NOT allowed to hunt Ewoks with a baseball bat!"
<I'm a bit stunned.><First off, I didn't say I wanted to; it was a post about a mad thought that bubbled up from the darkness in my soul, a figment from the sicker parts of my mind that wriggled free and momentarily got loose.><Second off, the plausability of such a venture taking place at all is, let's just say, unlikely.><But I skip these for the moment and take a bite out of the turkey pot pie. I say,>
"What? Why not?" <Looking stunned and confused.>
"Because they're members of the bear family!" <She loves, loves, loves bears, BTW. Collects Boyds.>
"What? How do you figure that?" <This time my "What?" is in my trademark "Are you sh*****g me?" tone, with an accompanying facial expression.>
"Because they're members of the bear family!" <Yes, she just repeated what she said before.>
<I sit silent, and give her my "dubious" look, until she adds an emphatic,>
"They ARE!"
<I add one last bit of "dubious" glance, and then give in,>
"
Ok then. I can't argue with that; I really can't. No hunting Ewoks with a bat for me. I'm glad we took the time to get that all sorted out."
<To which she responds,>
"
You're impossible!" <and leaves the room.>
<As she's heading upstairs, I call after her,>
"What?! I said I wouldn't!"
<Thus endeth the discussion.>
I'm about at +2.6 right now; "clearly insane" chicks always make me feel better...

Good fortune,
