The third person to take my “Get to Know You CD Challenge” dropped off not 1, but a double CD set for me today. In return, I decided to fill his long standing request for me to burn him some “dealer’s choice” Slayer and Kyuss CDs.

I obviously had to go through nearly the entire collections of each to figure out which ones I was going to burn. I obviously also had to stand on the furniture with a low slung air guitar powering my way through them to aid me in my decision making process.

In the middle of all this, #1GF! arrived home. Over the years, #1GF! has learned to tolerate small doses of Slayer, and was taking the volume and ferocity of the metal with amazing poise… until she saw me give the sign of the devil to the imaginary crowd. She stopped what she was doing and stared at me stunned.

#1GF!: “WaitWaitWait. Did you just salute the crowd?”
Me: “Hell yea, I did [throws the horns up again for the people in the back].”
#1GF!: “Do you do that even when I’m not here?”
Me: “Do you really think that I vary this performance based on whether you’re here?”
#1GF!: [staring]
Me: [spread legged, low slung, foul-faced shredding]
#1GF!: “Oh that’s a deal breaker. We are NOT having kids.”
