My favorite sentence in the world for the next 72 hours, at least:

It’s like if I told you of his dropped bombs it would change the future and then there would be no more donuts when I got there (to the future (a reference to a Simpsons reference to a Ray Bradbury short story, FYI, like Dennis Miller I am the king of references (David Cross reference))).

Truth be told, I share this power, and my wife has the same experience as you with coming around to my estimations.

I often have a difficult time relating my experience of arts/media (music, books, TB, visual art) into words, and in fact I get annoyed when people ask me to describe my reaction. “What do you mean, WHY do I like it?” Internally I know exactly and specifically why and how I responded to it, but I often don’t know how to translate it into words.

Bomb Report would cost MUCH more than $5, due to all the shifting of the time/space continuum it would entail!

Also it should be noted that his bombs are not limited to negative things but also are very often positive/exciting–for example, he often declares people “awesome” whom I have found irritating, then months or even years later I come around to his opinion. Also he is very good at predicting budding romances.

Whoa! Can I pay your husband $5 for a “bomb report” wherein he tells me all the things he thinks may be wrong with me? DO I HAVE CANCER (ie is he like those dogs that can sniff cancer?)????

About three years ago, it finally occurred to me that for my whole life I had not been thinking verbally for about 99% of my inner experience. Suddenly I was like “Whoa… I don’t think in words.” For the record I think in full sentences now on purpose and it has really changed me (I’m a bit more down to earth). I used to think that thinking in words was too slow, now I think that’s not so bad, plus it activates a different part of your brain. Still… when I say something out loud that I had not previously thought to myself, it’s like someone else said it for me, it’s so shocking and amazing.
