Rorschach and Twilight
by Rodney on Jul.17, 2009, under Annoy your wife, The joy of living with a twilight nut
As some of you may or may not know the Rorschach test and fallen into the public domain. Yes I know that has very little to do with Twilight, but give me time and I will show you why I bring it up. No I am not talking about the cool guy from Watchman either. I am talking about the ink blot test that what you say a picture looks like somehow tells someone your mental status. Here is a link to Wikipedia that will tell you more about it. Now to my point. I wonder what would happen if you gave this same test to your girlfriend/wife right after she watched Twilight. I would almost guarantee that every answer would come up as Edward and Bella or Edward.
Here is a link to the ten inc blots so you can give the test. You can make up your results as you see fit. In all honesty I am afraid to do this test for fear that all 10 will come back as relating with twilight.
Here is what I see when I look at the inc blots.
- The batman symbol.
- Two people looking at each other.
- Two girls about to kiss.
- A dragon about to land on me.
- A butterfly (go figure)
- A cello
- Me looking out from a castle.
- A cat scan image of someones head.
- A vase.
- In all honesty I have no idea. Maybe fireworks?
What I think a woman will see after watching Twilight.
- Edward
- Edward and Bella kissing
- Alice and Bella kissing (okay that’s what I see, but you never know)
- Edward
- Edward ridding on a butterfly
- Edward playing a piano
- Edward
- Edward
- Edward
- Not even a twilight nut can see Edward in this. I don’t think anyone can see anything in it.
My Experiment
by Rodney on May.16, 2009, under Annoy your wife, The joy of living with a twilight nut
WARNING: You may be forced to sleep on the couch for a week if you conduct this experiment.
I have always wondered what my wife would do if I acted the same way she did toward Edward, but to a woman. Like the old saying goes “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander”. So begins my experiment.
Step 1: Wait until my wife asked me to watch Twilight, it didn’t take long.
Step 2: I just watched the movie until Alice shows up. I didn’t say anything, I just did what she had been doing the entire movie when she saw Edward, I sighed. I didn’t look at her or act like I had done it.I continued to do this every time I saw Alice, just like she did every time she saw Edward. I don’t think she noticed, or she thought I really did not want to watch the movie.
Step 3: When Alice would be walking away or bend over I would go “MMM”. Again I did not look at my wife or show any sign that I had done it.She noticed this but didn’t say anything about it.
Step 4: At the part of the movie where Alice hugs Bella I said “MMM I wish she would hug me like that”. This really got my wifes attention.
Results: She paused the move and just stared at me with her mouth open. It tool her a few seconds before she spoke. She starts to tell me how I am ruining the movie by doing things like that. She said she can’t watch the movie because of me. At this point I can’t keep from laughing any longer. I start laughing and I could almost see fire shoot from her eyes. It took her a few seconds but she realized what I was doing. The conversation went as follows:
Her: That wasn’t funny.
Me: Hey I did what you do every time you watch that movie.
Her: I do not make those sounds.
Me: Sure sure
I’m was still laughing so she unpaused the movie and turned the volume up. I love it when my experiments succeed.
