Hey, is it okay if I take your girlfriend as my plus-one (I mean, she's on the invite list too, so I suppose I could be HER plus-one...) to this party Hope is having for whatever consulting business she's opening? It's going to be fancy shite and hoity glitzy folks and I know that's extremely not your thing.

Wait, you're asking my permission to take Angie to a fancy party? Since when was that... oh wait, this is one of those weird relationship trope things, isn't it? Let me look up the right response...

Right. "You may escort my girlfriend to [insert event here] provided you don't get besmirch her (or my) honour, or I shall be forced to challenge you to a duel". Is that what you're after?

A.

PS: Seriously, if Angie wants to go to a thing with you, it's up to her. I don't own her and I'm not going down that whole possessive road again. It was bad enough with Manny.

I mean, not exactly permission so much as just checking in to be polite and all.

I mean, if you WANT to duel, I've got some lightsabers, or nerf pistols at 20 paces...or we could have a Dance Dance Revolution battle...the Hot Ones gauntlet and first to tap out loses?

That, and just checking the less than 1% chance you got possessed by a pod person who really enjoys cocktail parties. ;-)
