It may be a little off topic, but I couldn't resist: Did you ever see the movie Swingers? There is this scene where one of the guys gets neurotic about a woman he's met *once*, and decides to call her in the middle of the night. He reaches her answering machine and has an entire relationship with it, leaving obsessive, sequential messages responding to each one of his projections, while having no input from her. With each call he digs himself in deeper and deeper--I think even breaking up with her before they ever got together, and then making up with her again. He winds up sounding like a mad stalker, and she finally picks up the phone telling him never to call her again for the rest of his life.
It was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I tried to get my brother to watch it because he reminded me of that guy more than once when we were growing up and he was obsessing about women. Of course he never would--too close to home, I guess he couldn't appreciate the humor.
How are you, Dinah? Nice to talk to you.
