7. Love is real!
I tell ye! I live the dream!

Let your soul free and dare to hope for that lofty goal of true love and you can find it!

AlienGirl - I love you! :loveya:

2. No, he said "To blave"
which all know means to bluff, as in poker. I'm not bringing this guy back to life just so he can pay his gambling debts!"

Llllliiiiiaaaarrrrr! He said True Love!

9. WARNING - overthinking post ahead---
I always thought he said "to blathe". (I mean that's what I thought MIracle Max said - I am too lazy to look it up on the net, so I will just use wild conjecture to say that's what it is!)

On that note though...

Haha.. you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Only slightly less well know is this: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

And I use rule #1 all the time when talking about the Shrub, have we learned NOTHING from The Princess Bride?

3. It's real. I used to not think so, but, even when I'm mad at him, MrGrumpy
still makes my tummy do flip flops when he walks in the room. :hi:

18. Act now and you can use our patented LOVE(tm) formula...
To transmute:

  • Lead into gold!*
  • Iron into silver!*
  • Coal into diamonds!**
  • Flesh into stone!
  • Water into wine!***


Disclaimer - Some additional materials may be required to achieve LOVE(tm)'s full potential; these are listed below:

* to transmute lead to gold or iron to silver, use 1 potion of LOVE and 1 Philosopher's Stone. (Don't have a Philosopher's Stone? No problem! They are available through us at a low cost to you the consumer!)

** to transmute coal to diamonds, pour 1 potion of LOVE on up to 10 pieces of coal. Bury deep within the earth's mantle and wait several hundred years, YMMV.

*** to transmute water to wine, use one vial of LOVE and then ask Jesus to transform the water to wine.

22. I don't know what that means
I think if you can get two people together who deeply care for one another, have good chemistry in the bedroom, have good chemistry OUT of the bedroom, share values, share goals, can communicate well, and can sustain a commitment with one another, that's about as close as you can get to ideal.

25. Love
is the exchange of two fantasies.

That's not as cynical as it sounds, though. It can be an honest and fulfilling exchange, but too often is not.

Khash.

30. Ah yes, the wonderfulness of Enlightenment!
Also interesting how Persuasion didn't have to make a comment, Monarch merely listened to Enlightenment's edification...

31. In the Words of the John Denver...
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
