Years ago, Spock made public that Monty and I, after going steady for months, had had a falling out:

But you never got the whole sordid story of that nasty breakup. Here's what happened. It was the first time he and I had gone out to dinner to a nice restaurant. Y'know, one where the prices on the menu don't have dollar signs. We'd come to Otakon together, so of course we dined in cosplay, he as Link and I as Zelda. Hey, don't judge me; sometimes a guy just needs to feel pretty, and heir to the throne of an elfin kingdom, okay? It had been a fantasy of his for years. Anyway, I'd just finished my cheeseburger, and he his surf-'n'-turf, so I called for the check. That was when Tony said…
…wait for it…
"Excuuuuuse me, princess, I gotta wee."
With that, he trotted off to the little video-game protagonists' room, never to return. Did he think I was made out of Rupees? It was a disgrace, I tell you. Anything but chivalrous. Well, I dumped him faster than you can say "Kooloo-Limpah".
Last I saw him, he was going out with some tattoo-covered, orange-haired, mask-wearing alien midget. Talk about rebound!

Willis, it seems like every other time you post, I need to look up a word that's in the OED or Urban Dictionary but not both.

I have no idea what I was expecting when I opened this topic, but it certainly wasn't this. I was pleasantly (I think?) surprised.

I've had the pun "Princess, I gotta wee" rattling around in my head for weeks. The original context was an elaborate Wayside School fanfiction story crossed over with PMS in a spiritual prequel to PM High. I've yet to write any of that, and probably shouldn't, since I have more fruitful projects to pursue these days, but I won't spoil anything else about it, just in case I change my mind.
And now for the factoid of the day, brought to you by Wiktionary: "cosplay" is an anagram of "Calypso". I'm sure some Greek-mythology fans have already run that joke into the ground.

Will's right, something new jumps out every time, and it's great.

I would guess not. He seems like the type who's loath to lurk; if he were around, he'd be posting.
