"Chon Wai? That's a terrible cowboy name!"

How to make beautiful art with a fellow nutball:

  1. Meet.
  2. Become friends.
  3. Endure several grey area "dates" where you try to figure out the following:
  • Who's the boss
  • If you like like each other or can't stand each other
  • If you're brothers, brother and sister, or just two crazy kids in a convertible rag top on Route 66 or what
  • What will happen next 
  1. Have a contretemps over communication issues.
  2. Live without each other for 12 hours, figure out you're miserable without each other, agree to talk it over.
  3. Talk it over, hug it out, go back to being Ari Gold and E from Entourage, or Sean and Christian from Nip Tuck, or pick your slightly dysfunctional odd couple who is cosmic destined for each other, or just "deserves each other", take your pick. 
  4. Endure teasing from the resident grouch at work about how you two can't be pried apart, even on weekends, and how the rest of the team could use one or the other of you ONCE IN  A WHILE, you know
  5. Go back to bickering, laughing, slapping each other's hands off the computer mouse, making para verbal noises to indicate what you want the other person to do, take coffee breaks to sell one of you on the other's genius vision, imitate each other to tease each other, then use an imitation of the imitation to up the ante, and when it goes well....
  6. Meet in the lobby by the elevator at the end of the day and give each other the high five of relief and happiness. Promise to always work together.
  7. Back to the beginning.
