There are Seven Words that everyone dreads when talking to a gamer. They're not Mr. Carlin's famous Seven Words, but in casual conversation, they can often prompt a response that's every bit as extreme.

Occasionally, my gamer husband gets a gleam in his eye, leans in close, and recites those 7 dirty words....

Regardless of the seven dreaded words, I am constitutionally incapable of being annoyed:

A) Because KLDR is so entertaining. And necessary when people (as they will undoubtedly this Saturday) get shot up (for values of 'shot').

B) Because I'm a huge Rush fan and The Body Electric is up there with 'Prime Mover' in my book for 'generally underappreciated Rush tunes'. And I also have a surreal soft spot for Styx.

Styx is the soundtrack of my high school years, so at least I have an excuse.
