Compelling argument. Very articulate.
TruthGuardian
Ernest Hemingpaw agrees with me about the celebrity story being fake.
SunshineGuy
Ernest Hemingpaw is biased. You feed him.
I watch Travis gently relocate Ernest Hemingpaw to his lap, where the cat immediately starts purring. As predicted, it took exactly three days after Travis agreed to a “trial” with Ernest Hemingpaw before he was arguing about howErnest Hemingpaw required a heated bed for optimal sleeping conditions.

Let’s examine the evidence. Famous singer with millions of followers just HAPPENS to see a random parody video?
SunshineGuy
The algorithm works in mysterious ways! Plus, parody videos often get shared in the celebrity’s mentions.
TruthGuardian
And then he just…messages them? Through what platform? His management would never allow direct contact.
SunshineGuy
Says who? He’s in charge of his own life. And remember when you insisted the colonoscopy prep love story was “an insult to human intelligence and the entire concept of romance?”
TruthGuardian
That was different. That story involved someone claiming they fell in love with their gastroenterologist’s VOICE during the procedure. While sedated.
SunshineGuy
And yet, it was verified! They’re married now!
TruthGuardian
We agreed never to speak of that incident.
SunshineGuy
You mean the incident where you had to write “SunshineGuy’s optimism was justified” in the forum announcements? That incident?
I hear him huff from his end of the couch. But I know him well enough to know he’s fighting back a smile.
TruthGuardian
Moving in together was supposed to reduce your ability to lord past victories over me.
I can’t help smiling. Travis asking me to move in with him after six months of us dating was predictably hilarious. We’d been practically inseparable since the moment we first met. His family had been incredibly welcoming to me, with constant invitations, although I suspect the frequency might have something to do with how entertaining they found it to watch their cynical son melt into romantic goo around me. I’m fairly sure that’s Brocker’s primary motivation anyway. Meanwhile, my parents had basically adopted Travis on sight. My dad immediately recruited Travis to help with his garage renovation project, while my mom keeps “accidentally” sending me links to wedding venues.
Yet, when Travis asked me to move in, he’d produced a spreadsheet to show how much time and money we would save without the endless travel between our apartments and the other benefits of cohabitation, like he needed to persuade me.
As if I was ever going to say no.
