Hmmm, Thrifty was permabanned a while back

Oh is that what happened to him
How long ago did this happen?

Maybe a month or three weeks I want to say.

I can speak as a guy who was "dragged" to see the last Twilight movie by my wife.  That was the term she used as well.  "I have to drag you to this, don't I?"  She had already seen it with a friend, and she knew I would enjoy the ending if nothing else, and we purposefully went to a very early showing on a weekday so we could make comments without disturbing anyone.  So, even though I was dragged to something I wouldn't have picked myself, there was a lot of thought put into the fact that I would actually have some fun.

It's partially the general tone and part the few names that popped up as self-styled 'Mean girls' seem to have either left or found bridges to hide under, either way I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

That fight scene was the greatest thing of all time.

You mean the greatest waste of time.

In my experience, getting "dragged" to something by a significant other is usually done with the pretense that the drag-ee will end up enjoying it, but doesn't know it yet. The idea being that if you go alone, and see a bunch of stuff that the significant other would have enjoyed, there will be a longing and a regret that he/she wasn't there.

For instance, I "dragged" Tyrant to Wall*E. She's suspicious of anything that falls anywhere under the ever-growing Disney umbrella, and Wall*E ended up proving to her that at least movies under the Pixar banner are worth checking out, and it remains one of her favorite movies.

She's "dragged" me to see a bunch of horror movies. They're usually not my thing, but when she picks them, there tends to be elements to them that I enjoy.

I did not "Drag" her to see Frozen because as much as she hates Disney, she hates Disney MUSICALS a million times more. I instead called my Brother, who loves Disney, and we had the least Guys-y guys night ever, which was made nicer by the fact that I didn't have to bug Tyrant with it.

SO, when "dragging" your significant other out, the relationship-smart thing to consider is, "Am I dragging him/her because he/she will enjoy it, or am I dragging him/her because I want someone in that seat next to me."

And with THAT said, sometimes it IS the significant other's job to be there in that seat if it's that important. And that's when the significant other should suck it up and take one for the team.

I was "dragged" to the Sex in the City sequel and slept through the whole thing, I was also "dragged" to some of the Harry Potter movies and I like them now, only with Rifftrax though of course.

Hmm, Ann and I generally like the same things, it's why we're married. I mean she has great tits and arse, but it's mostly that we enjoy mostly the same things.

You both enjoy her great tits and arse.

[Sideswipe]

Hell, I know I do!  Maybe we should start a meetup group or something about it.

People say Miley Cyrus can't act?

...But I know there were a few people here who were crying that her performance on the MTV VMA's was a real 'jeer/twerker'.

Just so anais (and anyone else who cares) knows this: I was doing wordplay on "tear jerker", not criticizing MC.  [Brain slow right now, so not sure how obvious (and just not amusing) it might have been.]
