So far I'm holding true to form!
UPDATE: Gah! I got it done a day early - but NETFILE is down! Aie! I can’t submit them! Oh, foul accursed interweb!
UPDATE: I got it in under the wire! Apparently they also extended the deadline. Hrm.
This morning, Timmi and I got into an argument that started fun, but then turned ugly in more ways than one.
We were listening to music on my iTunes, and “Why Can’t This Be Love” by Van Halen came up. We listened for a bit, and after a while I said, “You do know what this song always makes me think of, right?”
Timmi immediately replied, “Crystal Gravy!”
I agreed heartily, because it was exactly the same for me. “The weird thing,” I said, “Is that this isn’t even the song in the ad.” (Isn’t it unusual that SNL fake ads are just “ads” to us now?)
Timmi said, “No way, this is the song.”
I said, “No, it’s ‘Right Here, Right Now’. Same album, different song.”
Timmi was dead set that I was wrong, so she went on a Googling warpath and found evidence which ultimately exonerated me:
Timmi’s a gracious loser, and agreed I was right, and we kept watching the video. Personally, I’ve always thought this ad was brilliant - it will be remembered much longer than the Crystal Pepsi ad it is poking fun at in my mind.
As we watched though, Timmi started looking green. Then she started retching a bit. Ninja, who had been snuggled up in her arms, got alarmed and took off. Timmi kept retching and getting closer to a full blown puke, and I was just puzzled.
She has a well-documented weak stomach, but I couldn’t see what the big deal was. Eventually, I got her to stop the video and tell me.
“You’re kidding right? You’re seriously telling me that whole commercial doesn’t remind you of snot?” she said and then retched some more.
“Uh, no, not at all, I just think it’s funny.”
“What? It’s totally about snot!”
“No it’s not,” I said, totally not intending to be punny, “Snot isn’t clear.”
“Affection snot is clear!”
“Uh … ew, what the hell is affection snot?”
“I didn’t say affection snot, I said IN-fection snot!”
“No you didn’t, you said affection snot, and I don’t know what that is, but I don’t want any missy!”
Problem was, I couldn't remember exactly how it went. I knew it was something along the lines of "You have to ride the horse that got you there." That didn't sound right. Mike suggested, "You have to dance with the horse you rode in on" which sounded better though vaguely disturbing at the same time.
In desperation I turned to Google, where I did a search on "you have to * with the * you " and I got some pretty varied results, including:
- you have to deal with the cortex you have to work on
- you have to deal with the public, you’re bound to have a hassle or two
- you have to stick with the lifestyle you have chosen for your character
- you need to replace with the cracked exe
- you have to replace with the folder, where you hold your inf driver files
- you need to comply with the law when you ship sensitive or strategically controlled goods to destinations outside Canada
- you have to downgrade ur psp with the homebrew downgrade
- you have to fight with the police, you have to fight with the prosecutors
- you need to deal with the dragon you need to slay
- you have to deal with the avatar you were given
- you have to race with the Chocobo Trainer in Calm Lands.
- you have to answer with the Peekamo id you get on the message
- you have to piss with the dick you have
- you have to fight with the woman you love it might as well feature a bitchen guitar solo
All so very true. I didn’t find the one I was looking for though — anyone have any suggestions?

Let’s see if this helps.
