Crunkles the Dog, Aftermath

It was Valentine's Day and we didn't have a Valentine.  So we called up Crunkles, who was now living in upstate Pennsylvania under the assumed name Oscar.  "You've got a lot of nerve, asking me to be your Valentine.  After the way you sabotaged my sweet Dupont Circle gig.  But things aren't bad here.  The owner leaves, I got a little bookie operation up and running.  It's lucrative.  High school basketball, they take that shit seriously up here.  Anyway, I would be your Valentine, but if there's one thing I've learned, it's that the interspecies thing never works.  Ditto long-distance relationships."

But intraspecies relationships do?

Crunkles is right. Long-distance relationships are bunk.

Good point, Jan Martin. And Gillian, I couldn't agree with you more. I take it you've given them a try?

I've never been in a real long-distance relationship (or an intraspecies relationship). I have, however, witnessed long-distance relationships and they are a fat waste of time. Every time you get together, it's like a honeymoon, but it's totally unrealistic because you have no idea what you're like together on a daily basis. If it lasts, once you finally DO get together (living together, whatever), it is NOTHING like the honeymoon weekends and usually goes to shit.
