To all you lovey-dovey couples that say things like “you’re my snuggle bear”. I hope you slip on a banana peal and humorously tumble down a flight of stairs to the sounds of pots and pans crashing and clanking, at which point an anvil falls on your head from somewhere off-screen. —Sad and Lonely with Bugs Bunny

It’s banana peel, not peal!!! Maybe you should worry less about peoples “pet” names for each other and worry about not looking stupid.
Have a wonderful life of loneliness.
You are truely an example of misery loves company!!!
someone sounds like a stinker…
is that you pepe le pew?
Enjoy a life of singlehood cause no one will want to be with you while you have that kind of attitude.
Misery loves company I believe thats the correct terms for this.
Eeyore is that you?
misery…
you insist that the weight of the world
should be on your shoulders.
misery…
there is more to life than what you see….
my friend misery.
what the fuck, my first wife used to call me snugglebear, and i called her honeybunny. what the fuck is your problem, no one fucking you too now. jesus hoping fuck, get a life, and stay out of other people’s.
Just a reminder… Pepe Le Pew was verrry romantic… He would never say anything like that about the romance of other couples
yeah he was a romantic, but he liked fucking cts, like someone in sprytown did.
OB, that’s awesome. 🙂 Maybe they can open a cull on people who use the word “snuggle bear”?
you need to get laid.
I’m not bitter or jealous and I don’t “need” to get laid, but I agree that these couples are kind of nauseating to see.
I mean all the power to them — I’ve been in relationships where we’ve been all lovey-dovey (in the beginning, heh), but it can still be kinda sickening to see. (even thinking about being like that with him kind of makes me wanna vomit, in retrospect).
But in the grand scheme of things, my opinion doesn’t mean shit to these couples, as it shouldn’t. It’s really none of my business how two people in a relationship want to treat each other. It’s *eyeroll*-worthy, sure, but I don’t get riled up enough to write a bitch.
Because I’m not jealous like OB obviously is. “Sad and Lonely”? Yeah. Jealous. Honestly, it makes me feel better about being single because being in love like that makes you crazy in da head, and I like having my wits about myself. It’s like they can’t help but be like that, and I like the fact that I have the clarity of mind to not make myself look like a dope like that. 😛
I had a friend who would refer to their significant other as “baby” — not only while talking to THEM, but they’d never use their SO’s NAME while referring to them to anyone. THAT was annoying.
Pretty kitty hey, i also need to get laid so no shame in that.. Lovey dovey couples sort of make me roll my eyes a little in the same way that weird pet owners make me roll my eyes (and my pets are like my kids) But what i truly hate are the couples who scream and fight in public and then are loving all over each other ten minutes later. The contrast is too weird. I feel like i’m in the middle of sid and nancy.
LOL I roll my eyes at weird pet owners too, even though I am one, because HAY my pets are THE best pets. 😛
I’m serious about the love makes you not right in da head thing, though. Apparently, the same brain activity occurs with people who are in love as it does with people who have diagnosed OCD. I read the abstract in a psych journal years back.
Makes sense, really. I know I’ve done some things whilst ‘in love’ that I think about when I’m not and am all “WTF?”… but it seemed right at the time. :|
Perhaps a case for the “PK stays single for life” side of the argument?
LOLZ.
i use the same foolish singsong voice, when i’m talking to cats, dogs, crows and even the spiders that are hanging around. hay, i’m old, and i don’t cur
I’m single too PK and by overwhelming choice. Mostly for that reason. When you’re in love, mules look like unicorns. I don’t trust my judgment when i fall in love. Right now i have this giant, massive, bizarre crush on someone i know and it’s making me seven shades of stupid. The things i do, especially when he’s in the vicinity, astound my sense of dignity.
i even posted a ballsout crazy love on the coast that actually wound up being printed very recently. And yes. I’m almost positive he’s read it and given the hints i dropped in there… he now knows everything.
I made a huge sweep of the neighbourhood and collected every issue of the coast i could find and hid them in my closet. But those dicks keep restocking the boxes.
paingirl – We use that silly voice to talk to babies and pets, so they’ll know that we’re talking to them =) Fersure, fersure.
i_k – Sooooo….you’re the curly haired tom-boy 😉
Maybe you can buy some of that black paint from ACME. Paint a hole in front of said couple as they’re walking down the street and they’ll fall down into it.
haha, i love those. that would serve them right, the wee pukes!!! oh sorry kids
It sucks to be you OB.
those bitchers here who agree with you, are just jealous they’ve never had anyone care enough about them to call them anything but what everyone else calls them.
While my lover & I call each other by name in public, what we use in private is our business. Those of you who use your pet names for each other in public…why not, its your life & you sure ain’t hurting anyone by it… & the dried up ole bags who are jealous can go hang out & have a pity party together…hopefully none of them will make a freudian slip & call someone ‘dear’ or ‘honey’, which I sometimes do in public , with my significant other.
i call complete strangers *sweetie* sometimes. is that bad? ^^
Nah, it’s not bad at all, PG.
That’s a maritime thing. “Sweetie,” “dear,” “hon,” etc….
Oh and I thought you only fucked prostitutes, More-on?
No Petty …as usual you pay no attention, see one or two words make massive assumptions & as usual they are wrong.
So I’m not surprised by your comment.
You see Petty kat, I said I have no problem with prostitution & I have in the past used professionals services. Which I am not in the least bit ashamed of, IMO its better than self abuse. I never once said that it was all I have ever done or do. So you’re getting it wrong yet again, why not go get your plastic lover & curl up with a fresh box of batteries, & tell yourself how much better your life is than anyone elses. While I go about enjoying my day with my honey….. with whom I’m just taking a break before we bottle up some home made tomato sauce. She’s laughing at how prudish you are, she knows she wasn’t my first or anywhere near there ( & I also know she was no virgin, Thank the flying spagetti monster for that !) & agrees fucking someone is better than a plastic dick.
I hope this doesn’t fuck with your petty mind, petty kat, that I’m presently involved with someone & have been for awhile. When in a relationship, I can be as monogamous as TTFN claims to be.
Which I have no reason to doubt.
Jesus, calm the fuck down. All that for one little dig! Sensitive, much? 😉

I am very calm petty.
In your mind perhaps it was a little dig.
To me, your so called ‘dig’ was a complete fabrication on what I actually said here in past threads .
But perhaps I shouldn’t have responded at all…after all your comment did start with -quote ” Oh and I thought “-unquote
~:p
“mules look like unicorns” Imma write that down in my book of LOL
