God saw that and had her marry a guy that negotiated where the star wars posters were going before she moved her stuff in. It was decided that I would build a star wars themed bar in the basement to house them... ergo the Dagobar link on the top of the site. Good job playing it cool Pete, you even got her to say it was a great show! “I guess we all do foolish things when we’re young” … yes and Holly rolling her eyes was her foolish thing… God saw that and had her marry a guy that negotiated where the star wars posters were going before she moved her stuff in.

I'll be sure to keep an eye on your blog, I'm eager to get into a committed relationship so I can apply your techniques. Fun story: I was out on a date with a girl once, and she was talking about how she'd enjoyed some episodes of Trek. I didn't geek out on her, I played it cool by SLOWLY supplying answers: Her: It was star trek... but with a space station, I can't remember the name. Me: I 'think' it was Deep Space Nine. Her: That's it! They had these cool aliens that looked like snake people. Me: You mean... Cardassians! Her: YEAH! That was a great show. Sadly she returned to England ten days later. But playing it cool definitely works. Your wife must have come a long way. I can remember her rolling her eyes and complaining when we put Return of the Jedi into the VCR during an all-night lock-in.

I'm working on it and trust me as soon as she does it will be posted. I do reminder her of how our marriage is proof that the nerds won quite often, thanks for the non emotional Salute. She tells me that you and Nathan are guys that I would have definitely hung with if we grew up together. Stoked you found the blog! More posts to come soon man, let me know if you guys have any topics that need to be written about.
