“What number-one hit song from 1984 was addressed to Marie, Louise, Jack, and Milo?”
My team members and I were racking our brains last night at the Big Quiz Thing, trying to come up with the answer. I remembered that “Thriller” was the biggest album of 1983, but did it carry over into 1984? Or was it maybe a Cyndi Lauper song?
Suddenly — I have no idea how — it hit me. I grabbed the Big Quiz Thing pad and began scribbling down the answer.
And then Matt looked at me, shocked.
“You’re left-handed?!?” he said.
Yes, it’s true. I’m a lefty. A southpaw. I’m sinister.
Since, after three months of dating, Matt and I have officially decided to begin referring to each other as boyfriends, I guess it’s good for him to know these things about me.
Oh, and the song?
“Footloose.”
Congratulations to you both.
yay boyfriends!
Jeff [ed. note: Thom’s Jeff] says he saw this coming, but I must confess I completely didn’t, having read every one of your “Matt and I did this” and “Matt and I went there” statements as completely innocent of anything more than friendship.
This is so cool, though. First Jeff and me, then Faustus and E.S., now you and Matt. If it weren’t for the damnable Republicans in charge, these would be the best days ever.
Mazel tov!
You’re left handed??
Recently I was shocked to learn that neither of my best friends (the gay one and the straight one) know how to spell my last name.
I think they know I am right-handed because for some reason my right forearm is a lot bigger. Huh.
oy, mazel tov…
though I must say I guessed this a while ago, and there’s a comment in the TinMan archives to prove it….
cheers,
I thought so. Congrats!….Bill
CONGRATULATIONS!
Sorry to shout but this is very exciting.
“Exciting” seems like an understatement. I’ll gleefully shout: this is spectacularistically SENSATIONAL!!! You’ve sent my heart & spririt into the stratosphere. May rapturuous bliss together be yours! Happy Coupling!
