Why the missus and I don't watch much TV together, Exhibit A.
A few weeks ago, my wife was watching either Grey's Anatomy or its spin-off, Private Practice; it was during the cross-over that the shows did with each other.
As I don't watch either show, I was naturally confused about the identities of two of the most notable characters.
ME: So who's 'McSteamy' and who's 'McDreamy'?
HER: {points} He's 'McDreamy'; 'McSteamy's' not in this scene.
ME: OK, but what about their evil twins, 'McReam-Me' and 'McCream-Me'?
HER: {chuckles} You're bad.
ME: And where's the cousins, 'McEat-Me' and 'McBeat-Me'?
HER: {faint chuckle, eye-roll}
ME: Oh, and what about 'McSuck-Me' and 'McFuck-Me'? Can't have a cross-over without them.
HER: {ominous stare}
ME: {silence as we watch for a minute or so} Yeah, and they'd better bring out 'McRoll-Me' and 'McBlow-Me' too. Y'know: so they'll have the full ensemble.
{A scene of horrific domestic violence is narrowly averted by my hasty retreat.}
