The Great Gatsby (spoiler alert)

Simple but great book. Saw an ad for the movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio that's coming soon, got me thinking...

So...does this guy have one of the worst cases of oneitus.....ever?? What's the deal with this guy? Just wondering if anyone else has a thought on this. Any cases of oneitus that you've heard of that could be worse? Fiction or not.

One example that Pook loved to quote is Dante turning Beatrice - some chick he had a crush on since she was... eight - into his salvation in Divine Comedy and a few other of his works.

Dante is a little above my pay grade at this moment, I will be tackling it sometime in the future. But not surprised the legendary Pook would reference him.

On a somewhat lower level, here's a guy I was thinking of today. According to the 80's this is how you win a girl back after she's ditched you. Do this right here.

Seems like the right thing to do.... right? She dumps you but you want to win her back, so you stand outside her window with a jukebox, playing your guys favorite song.

Worst case would have to be Link from Legend of Zelda. How many times has he rescued Princess Zelda and never got as much as a peck on the cheek?
