This made me chuckle, but only because we have a nickname for the xbox 360 we were given as a wedding present last year, and that nickname is "The Girlfriend." We have a plain older xbox that is part of the living room entertainment center, and there are separate rules that apply to The Girlfriend.
She only comes out of the bedroom for kid-free weekends or other special occasions.
She's not allowed to spend the night at any of our friends' places without one of us there.
The kids aren't allowed to touch her.
On an awkward note, one of our really good friends came over with his somewhat new lady friend for some hanging out and gaming time. He asked my husband, "So, is it time to double-team The Girlfriend?" without thinking about context. The look on the lady friend's face was priceless.
I actually find that my GF treats my meat best right after it has been used by two or three other guys. You need them heated up and a little greasy for them to perform at their best, amirite guys?
I don't always notice when a post is underlined. I came in here to offer sympathy to doohickie, all the while thinking "OMG, what in the world do you say to someone who's experienced a betrayal like that".
Glad it was someone else's grillfriend, and not doohickie's.
