Is it cold in here?:
At least Hannelore is learning about an important class of off-nominal date, the Obsessed With The Ex date. Bad pedagogical design, though: she should first have had experience with a more functional pseudodate.

This always ends in tears.
And fissures.

I don't think it's a song. I think Hanners is working out how to pronounce the word edamame. She appears to be reading a small packet or something. Maybe a sachet of dipping sauce (?) though that would normally be served in a bowl. It certainly won't be a fortune cookie in a Japanese restaurant, unless there's been some horrid cultural bleed-over.
Edit: Following zmeiat_joro's posting below, I consulted Wikipedia, and it seems fortune-cookies were indeed originally introduced by the Japanese. A vast load of cultural guilt is lifted from my shoulders for the nasty things, but I don't think I've ever actually been offered them in a Japanese restaurant.

If you personally prefer curvy, fine, you can say that (although men tend to state their preferences about women ALL the time as though all of womanhood should care and rush to cater to them). But don't denigrate other body types or classify them as less desirable while you're doing so.

So true, though to be fair to most of the posters here, they were merely expressing their preference, and only a few denigrated other body types. My personal pet irritation is men who feel impelled to announce their preference/distaste for my ethnic appearance. I think Meena might sympathise.
I feel sorry for Hanners. Her educational date is turning into the equivalent of trying to learn to drive in one of those multi-car NASCAR pile-ups*. Sven has gone into kamikaze mode before, but this...
*Got to love those commentators. Though no doubt they would say that I had an accent... :-D

Too late Carl, he's already augured in
Dr. ROFLPWN:
Jeph, I do not think you are drunk enough to be reading these forums.
Also I fucking love Sven today. He is awesome. And Hannelore's face is fantastic.
