Metasyntactic Variables: Saturday: Messing with Missed Connections

Two Peas in a Pod

"You were the woman with the crew cut who was wearing a camo sleeveless t-shirt, standing in the sporting goods section of Meijers and looking at the hunting knives. You had that hilarious tattoo of the beaver holding a flag with rainbow colors! I was the guy in the 'Vote for Pedro' shirt, who was asking the clerk about monogrammed camping utensils. I think that maybe we might have missed out on a great opportunity. We never spoke, but I think I'm not the only one who felt something click. Could that 'click' be the sound of two hearts fitting together??"

You forgot to mention "in Gulfport, Fl."

Tim: "What's a really uncommon name for nonsense? That could make a good title."

Tracy: "Metasyntactic Variables."

Tim: "Holy Shit, that's brilliant. Are those actual words?"

Tracy: "Yes. When I am writing and suddenly the sentence turns into woss-names and blabbity, I am defaulting to metasyntactic variables."

Tim: "That was pretty impressive. Is that too wordy of a blog title, do you think?"

Tracy: "Not really, but we'll have to keep explaining it to people."

Tim: "Not if I put this conversation in the sidebar."

Tracy: "Go for it."

Tim: "Sweet."

Tim was born on the Deathstar. For the most part, his early years were pretty sweet- mostly because he had a lot of robots. Then, one morning, Tim was trying to get a piece of English muffin out of the toaster with a knife, and a jolt of electricity sent him back in time to the jungles of Mozambique. Soon after, he met Tracy, who was not a robot, but Tim liked her despite this. Even though the food was not up to Deathstar quality, life was enjoyable until the great circus monkey rise-up of 2010. Then life sucked donkey balls. Tim's days now consist of practicing the art of the Ninja-Bee way, and texting Tracy in code from his cave on the opposite side of the country.

Sometimes he also plays Backgammon with the hobos, but he does not tell Tracy about that.
