Stumble It!
There are some things in this world that are just too important to ignore. For example, I couldn’t be married to a Republican. I could never be in a committed relationship with someone who hates cats. Or with someone who hates movies or a broad range of music.
And I couldn’t be married to someone who hasn’t seen the Star Wars movies.
Don’t get me wrong: Raging Mom is not a Star Wars fanatic. I don’t require that my partner have the impressive grasp of the Star Wars Universe that I do. But she’s seen the movies, and gets it more than this girl does…

Oh
My
God
That was so damn funny. Thanks for sharing.
Frickin hillarious! I loved it.
I’m bummed to hear that I could never marry you, since I hate cats.
When I met my future husband he was dating a hot, hot girl who’d never seen any of the Star Wars movies. He is a huge fan of hot chicks and Star Wars, but good sense kicked in eventually and he dumped that girl.
I am so screwed.
Dede hates cats. I’d had an abused & orphaned Calico cat that I had nursed back from the brink of death 2-3 years before we first dated. When we subsequently got engaged & married (a scant & exact 6 months later), I had to give the cat away. 12+ years later, I still miss “Scrappy.” Dangit.
To make matters worse, she hates several broad ranges of music! She barely tolerates anything that resembles “Country,” although I insist that most of the progressive Country that I like is more like “Rock” than The Eagles, Jackson Browne, or James Taylor generally were. The Eagles actually had hit songs featuring banjos, for chrissakes!! And she won’t have anything to do with Jazz, which I admit is generally a head-scratcher for nearly everyone I know, but I love it anyway, dangit! She won’t even consider how admitting cool either Boz Skaggs or Stevie Ray Vaughn was. Double dangit!
As a general rule of thumb, Dede tends to not like any music released in the past 10-15 years. Oh sure, she’ll listen to the new AC/DC album, but turns a deaf ear to 3 Doors Down or, heaven forbid, a dab of Ne-Yo. The saving grace is that, while she totally snubs Foo Fighters, she does at least like some Nickelback and a few old Creed songs. And she simply will have nothing to do with Joe Satriani or Yngvie Malmsteen. Dangit!
And just recently, during the post-viewing bitching after watching that lame-ass “National Treasure II,” she proclaimed, “It’s no different than those silly Indiana Jones movies you like. I’m guessing that this is what an aneurysm must feel like…
Yup, I am so screwed.
Have you seen this?? It’s so precious. Wife cries at the end of Return of Jedi. LOVE IT
