In which I discover polygamy is better than eating oat bran
So studies show that polygamy makes you live longer. Turns out if you’re a polygamist and are over 60 years old, you’re likely to outlive a monogamous person by about 12 per cent. Well, considering that I am all in favour of extending my life cycle, I immediately introduced my plan for longer living to my girlfriend, exposing the pros (cons? what cons?) of expanding our couple to include a second girlfriend. Now, of course, I will spare you all the tiresome morality issues she brought forth, which, in fact, had no place amidst such an enlightened discussion (I was quick to point that out to her, by the way), and will take you to the moment where she exasperatedly asked me: “Well, who should this other person be?” This, of course, was a no-brainer: Leerone is the one.
Seriously, why wouldn’t I want to have her plodding away at the piano, filling my home with her indisputably winsome and surprisingly pensive chamber pop airs? Go ahead, give a listen to Into The Void and let it caress your inner ear. Let Leerone’s watery vocals burst with attentive delicacy as she softly conjures her consciousness-dripped lyricism into a doubting tune about one’s modern identity. Be surprised at the song’s lively, sing-a-long balladeering and its spirited, rich, and vivid melody, perhaps serving as the ultimate consecration of the song’s message. Take the time to feel the fecund sonic panorama, rich from her guiding piano chords, coddling drums, and a multitude of synth trills to space it out good and proper. It’s not quirky, it’s honest. It’s not cute, it’s captivating. It’s the equivalent of meeting a girl at an art exhibition instead of at a bar. And that’s why I’d take her home.
Of course, I didn’t tell my girlfriend that the 12 per cent life extension bonus is applicable only to men, but I’m sure she’ll still be good with that. Surely.
