Sunny’s Delightful Relationship Tag.
In keeping with the theme of those who tagged me, Sunny Delight’s page frequently features posts discussing love, romance, sex, and relationships.
Me, I’m more into straight research and hard data. So I thought I’d combine the two and give you data on six of my ex-girlfriends. Spy on them if you wish. I have no interest.

Anonymous old German cougher, the purpose was kinda to be tongue in cheek. Take care, and get better soon.
No, SJ. The women are all in different orders. Some items are listed chronologically, others alphabetically. So they wouldn't all line up.
For example, the 4'11 lady was the Roman Catholic.
Interesting word associations.

Behind Blue Eyes, I won't psychoanalyze you. I'm not qualified to do that anyway (I need nine more credit hours and a thesis). Thanks for playing.
Sunny, thanks for dropping by. I enjoy your blog very much. I'm also hoping that you enjoyed playing the ten-word game. As far as improving memory, I used to know a couple of different strategies. But I forgot them.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Libby. Maybe we can add at least a couple of your stats in the future. After all, I'm a bachelor.
Helplessly watching them drive? If you're referring to offspring, Tiff impresses me as being responsible.

You've got to love a man who gives as reasons for breakups with partners either (1) "I found out about her husband" or (2) "We discovered we were mortal enemies" -- so she was like kryptonite to your Superman? Or what.

That really interesting. In fact I tought about doing a post similar to that. It wasn't just like this, but very similar.
At 11:10 PM,
X. Dell said…
I was wondering when someone would comment on that, Foilwoman. Call it an ideological difference. I was a human being, and she was a fascist. Not a good combination.
So, BBE, were you ever into the CB radio thing? I've done a bit of that (when I drove semis), but I have no nostalgi for it.

C-Dell, we can look at this two ways. Here, in America, we have the saying, "Great minds think alike."
In India, there's the saying "Fools seldom differ."

Kate, I've always been PC. That's how you know that it's me. BTW, I think you're the only person so far who hasn't had a negaitve reaction to margerine.
Onmywatch, I was thinking more in line with the automobile when I wrote it. Apparently, you're old enough to remember the Gremlin, as well as that song. Too bad no one bumps anymore. They too would then understand.

Hello, Cora, good to see you. It's interesting that while Onmywatch think of a Gremlin as a car, you think of it as a critter in a movie.
BTW, if I baked cookies like you, I'd be a cookie monster too.
At 7:33 AM,
OnMyWatch said…
Yeah I'm old enough, unfortunately. I knew 2 people who owned Gremlins. I thought of the movie as well, but I went with my first reaction.
As far as bumping, just go to any southern Catholic wedding reception and you'll step into the time machine...it's fun, but not a pretty sight...if you do be sure to stick around for the hustle! ;)
At 12:23 PM,
X. Dell said…
The Hustle, Onmywatch? The Electric Slide? All those dances, I never learned to do, and I'm too old to want to learn. I remember the sight of people doing them, though.
I've never driven a Gremlin, so I wouldn't know if they were decent cars or not. I have, however, driven the AMC Pacer, which was a really unstable ride (body shape).

I can do the hustle and the bump! *wink scary but true! I actually know that the Gremlin was a car... but dont have a clue which one. Margarine is like diet sugar to me... use it where you can so that when you really want the fattening good stuff you can!
I cant imagine you... no less you dancing! Now Cora... I can totally see her doing the Macarana! hehehehehehhehe
At 2:43 PM,
OnMyWatch said…
Neither have I and I have no desire to learn either...that's my sister's territory. I knew a lady who once said line dancing was invented for women who were too ugly to get partners. I found that to be quite amusing.
Pacers...seemed like a big bubble on wheels. No wonder it wasn't stable. Although, nothing beats the Pinto. :)
At 7:00 PM,
X. Dell said…
Kate, I can imagine you being a good dancer for social reasons if no other. It's not a crime to line dance...unless I'm in the line dancing. Actually, it's not even a crime then, although it should be.
Onmywatch, I take it that you must be fairly attractive, since you've gotten by these years without learning to line dance.
And I never ever drove a Pinto. I can't remember even riding in one. But I did once drive my grandmother's 1962 Chevy II. I'm thinking it had to be a forerunner, right?

Interesting word choice, Infinitesimal. I always feel helpless when I'm in love. And I'll make a note that if I ever meet you, I will make sure there's butter somewhere.
