I must say, while tradition is an important part of life at this school and in general... At times I wonder.

Were people in the 1950s quite okay?

And has anybody actually used this advice? I've been told not to heed the advice from teen magazines, but it must be better than any of this.

Heh. People come up with weird ideas when they're desperate and not much else has worked yet.

[ He... could relate. For different reasons than a 1950's woman trying to find a husband. ]

[stavros]

Understandably, I suppose. I always thought such things would simply happen in time.

[unpocoloco]

Hah, well, one never knows. But then, I can't speak much on the subject of when things are meant to happen. I was lucky enough to marry my childhood sweetheart.

[ And stupid enough to lose her. ]

[stavros]

I see. Perhaps some are simply more fortunate. Even if I do become desperate, and I'll admit for a family like mine that may not be uncommon, I solemnly swear not to resort to renting billboards.

[unpocoloco]

That's probably a good policy. I don't imagine that would do more than garner prank calls nowadays anyway.

[stavros]

Would someone truly... actually, yes, they would. People are vast and varied, and largely baffling.

[unpocoloco]

In that you are right. A wonder of the human race. No matter how bizarre, someone, somewhere, has done it.

[stavros]

Is that only attributable to humans?

[unpocoloco]

Hmmm, probably not, but I can't speak much for any other kids of species. I'd guess we're not all that different though.

[ Not even the undead. ]
