    Who’da thunk Tip would prove a sentimental romantic?

      With Tigerlilly, it was pretty obvious from the start. He just needed a few years to find the words.

        I think the right words here were “without reason”. Because if you think you need a reason to love someone, you’re doing it wrong.

          Damn straight. The best love sneaks up on you and ninjas you, and you kind of wonder what happened but don’t really worry about it all that much.

          I’d think that usually you can tell why you love someone anyway

            You may be able to rattle off a whole list of things you like about someone, but love is something that just happens. Sometimes it happens the moment you meet someone, and sometimes it develops over years. You can’t plan it, you can’t force it, and you can’t explain it.

    There is a girl in New York City
    Who calls herself the human trampoline
    And sometimes when I’m falling, flying
    Or tumbling in turmoil I say
    Oh, so this is what she means
    She means we’re bouncing into Graceland
    And I see losing love
    Is like a window in your heart
    Everybody sees you’re blown apart
    Everybody sees the wind blow

    (Paul Simon, Graceland)

      I was thinking about Joe Henry’s Trampoline:

      The floor will have its way it seems
      It fights me like a trampoline
      It won’t let me on the ground
      So this time I’m not coming down
      I’ve been talking in my sleep
      You once kissed me not to hear me speak
      You loved me just so you could leave
      Every bit of life wrung out of me

      And this time I’m not coming down
      This time I’m not coming down
      Trampoline

      The whole platoon is overfed
      And we’re in this thing over our head
      My mind it’s never been so clear
      But I stutter like an auctioneer
      The night has come alive with dreams
      That hoot and holler, spit and scream
      Every one of them is sick with lust
      But every one of them will outlive us

      And this time I’m not coming down
      This time I’m not coming down
      Trampoline

      There’s a guy on their committee
      Who knows where he can find a trampoline.
      And sometimes when he’s sweeping, trying,
      And stumbling over words,
      She knows just what he means.
      He means he’s sweeping her to Lovetron.

    Well, it’s nowhere close to a Helen and Dave, but this is pretty sweet as well. Two crazy swingers who know that they’re right for one another — that’s certainly a wonderful sight to see.

    It’s gotta be the eleventh hour, though, if all the ships are coming in.

    Trampoline! Down the hall! I REMEMBER trampoline days..and nights. Better stay close for awhile, because if he kisses her, AND walks down the hall, some chickee who hasn’t even SEEN Tip will suddenly, from the after-thrust of their mojo, be
    pheromoned into into abject and demanding submission. Too soon exposure to the
    aforesaid biochemical mix will get in the way of Tip finally getting something he’s wanted a LONG time. This is an explosive mixing, care is called for….GO for her now, TIP.

      “…care is called for…”

      I was kind of thinking that total abandon is called for.

      And then Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers stole her for a few albums and performances.

    I always thought Tramp O’ Lean was an anorexic Irish prostitute.

    Actually, having sex on a trampoline is having sex in the worst way.

      My oldest brother recommended a rubber raft on water.This was before waterbeds.

    He’s really not in peak form. He should’ve mojo’d her away by now

      Maybe that’s a good thing. It’s forcing conversation.

    Yay!

    Finally caught up with the current story arc.

    Let’s switch gears from “blazing through” to “scrutinizing every single detail while waiting for tomorrow’s strip”

    Although…if he loved her from the day they met, ya gotta wonder why.

    Okay, this might work. In which case, my prediction was nearly right, but it would have been even righter if I said the exact opposite or threw a “not” in there somewhere.

    Those two, on a trampoline. Will the building or one of them crumble first?

    • awgiedawgie

      The big question is whether there’s a trampoline that can handle the two of them together.

    Probably the sweetest thing Tip has ever said.
