I'm married and if I find myself talking to a woman and notice there's strong chemistry, I'm feeling quite "ready." And though I'd never cheat, if this woman is hot and the back and forth is electric (you know the mutual vibe I'm referencing), I'm so ready I find myself cursing the lack of progressiveness in modern Western mores staying me from doing what I'm thinking about doing, and have a pretty good idea she's thought about doing.

"Ready" is an over-thinker's concept.

I hear he saw another sad fuck dad in the store, and silently they gave each other the nod, which roughly translated into, "Yeah, I see you lost your dick too." Or so I've heard.

Disney's UK site says: "Without the aid of pixie dust, Fairies can fly no more than a few feet."

Perhaps, but Sebby's MO is to preface all of it with a kiss on the cheek, so it's all good.

Fairies don't need pixie dust to fly. They have wings. The pixie dust helps non-winged creatures fly. Duh.

Inevitably, at some point, you will live out some variation of this dialogue:

"Anyway, come hit this right here. You need to hit this."

"No, I appreciate it, but I told my wife I wouldn't drink tonight. Besides, I've got a big day tomorrow."

"But you guys have a great time."

"A big day? Doing what?"

"Well, actually, pretty nice little Saturday."

"We're going to Home Depot."

"Buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring."

"Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath and Beyond, I don't know."

"I don't know if we'll have enough time."

"You know what? Give me that thing. I'll do one."

Confirmed. I just watched "Secret of the Wings" in which a threat to the Pixie Dust Tree imperiled the ability of all faeries to fly. (I am pleased to report that some quick thinking by Tinker Bell saved the tree.)

It is very confusing how many people are in the above dialogue and who is saying what. And what is the first one inviting the other one(s) to hit?

That's quality work. The Chicago references are lost on me, but I get the gist.

Well done ad, but that thing's got brakes. Fixies with brakes don't lead to hipster cred in these parts, at least.
