What Is Wrong With These People?!? Nth In A Continuing Series On The New York Times Modern Love Column.
For once, the relationship described in the Modern Love column doesn’t sound intrinsically nightmarish — there’s nothing wrong with a liberal woman falling in love with a guy in the military. You can have a wonderful relationship with someone you disagree wilth about all kinds of things. Admittedly, the fact that the guy involved appears to be a cartoon rather than anything recognizably human could be a problem, but given that the writer also appears to be a cartoon, they’re well matched.
No, this one is bizarre on grounds of gun safety. Look at the first two sentences:
MY husband is like the Lone Ranger: he leaves a trail of bullets in his wake. Not silver bullets, but gold 9 millimeters, orange “simunitions” and menacing hollow-points with bronze tips.
I find them at the bottom of the washing machine, next to the pile of mail in our front hall or mixed in a heap of change.
Now, I’m just an urban non-gun-owning liberal, but surely that can’t be a sensible way to treat ammunition. After all, do bullets even work after they’ve been through the wash? (also at Unfogged.)
