Open and Shut

The emotional perils of an open relationship don't end when it does.

That was a completely ridiculous situation. I love that there was a spreadsheet, and Graham's character being convinced that breaking off one branch of the relationship killed the whole tree really sold the whole thing.


I have several Nickelback albums. :(

I don't know about this one, I think it leaves too much room for fan fiction sites.

Also...whose nickleback CD was that?

3:38 is when this video truly became accepted by the internet, the arrival of the cat.

Oh man, now I can't help but think of Johnny interrupting with "Sorry...but I don't get any of this. What exactly is an open relationship?" and Graham attempting to explain it to him with various household objects.

Sorry, LRR forums, since Graham is no longer in a relationship with you, that means our relationship is terminated too.

It made people who weren't EVEN IN a relationship single.

I actually like how this video (much like in Cruising) the LRR crew was able to make a video dealing with Polyamroy (Open relationships) without making fun of the concept itself, but rather a specific situation.

All together me, my girlfriend, and her partner all really enjoyed the video (though I think considering how devoutly I watch LRR we are now broken up).

I've been in poly relationships, and it's true.

Me, my imaginary friend and her wives all loved the vid.

I think Graham's character thinks of a poly relationship web like a ka-tet in The Dark Tower series which, if any part of the circle is broken, it must be reforged in its entirety through the sharing of khef.

There might be some truth to that, if "khef" in this world refers to the ritual of coffee.
