egg lady relationships

it's died, i think.
:
whilst you were away?
:
maybe. yeah. she smells like eggs.
:
ha. there was this girl way back in my 4-year-old cali days that smelled like eggs. I still remember her.
:
whoa. i can't kiss a mouth that smells like eggs.
:
no way no way no how
:
she can't smell it, but i can. so eggy
:
have you brought it up?
:
oh yeah
:
really??
:
i started by asking her if she'd had eggs recently
:
ha
:
it didn't go over so well
:
that kills me. awesome. probably kills her in a different way. and you, in still another
:
it's hard to date some who smells like eggs even after they brush their teeth. how do you kiss an egg mouth?
:
is it all in the breath? or is it in the skin?
:
mostly the mouth. there were times when i'd get close to kissing her. then i'd smell old eggs and change my mind
:
so you never kissed her? eggs from day 1?
:
i did before, a long time ago ... the eggs seem to be a new development. dead eggs mouth
:
how old was she?
:
29
:
old enough for her eggs to go rotten
:
somebody else can decorate that easter egg
:
ha. nice one.

helpmeet

- Could you believe how much he said "helpmeet?"
# ha. no. but i really like that word
- you really like it??
# yeah
- I can't take it serious
# or do i hate it? ha. helpmeet
- I think it's funny. But it didn't help his cause for me
# i think of helpmeat. or meetcute
- ha. I think of trackmeet
# ha. i just liked to hear him keep saying it. for some reason
- It was killing me. so, in a way, I like it, but I couldn't be inspired because of it as well
# it blocks inspiration? that's serious
- I refuse to marry a helpmeet
# ha. meathelp
- ha. and ?. you can also spell it helpmate
# you like helpmate more? i like it less
- I don't like it more. I don't think I like it at all. But I also feel like I could be convinced to like it more, somehow. it makes me think of that glove. that one that helps make Hamburger Helper. that is a helpmate
# gross. yeah, mate, in general, i'm not fond of. i don't want to be a mate. i think of socks. and now that stupid glove
- socks! I don't get that. being called a mate is like being called a breeder
# helpbreed
- ew. I want you to explain the socks thing though
# socks have mates. like, the only time i hear anyone really say the word mate is saying 'does this sock have a mate?'
- I didn't know people said that
# i don't think i've ever heard anyone say that. but that's what's in my head
- ok
///// /// / /// // // /// /// ///// //
- I feel like checkmate fits in this conversation somewhere, but I'm not sure where
# eh
- If I knew more about chess, then I'm sure it would have a place, but not knowing chess well enough, I guess it doesn't
# yeah. same here

to the zero readers out there:
whoever can tell me where "checkmate" fits into that dialogue wins movie tickets!
