I agree that dispelling the situation in a calm and controlled manner was the most effective avenue that Nostatic could have taken. Approaching her was a potentially dangerous move, but it also limited her chance of inflicting violence upon others, including Todd. Refraining from using a gun is also a positive in my book.

Now, I can understand if your g/f was interested in the food network, and indeed, I myself do enjoy cooking from time to time. (Made some great tofu stirfry on Monday...) HOWEVER, I have a question for you Todd -- whose idea was it to watch the food network?
If your g/f was watching it, and you joined her, or she wanted to watch it, and you agreed, then that's not too bad. I'd say that's worth a 100point deduction,
But - if you chose to watch the food network, then that's pretty close to the "turn in your man-card" requirement.
At least you weren't Wendy Williams..... ooooa-aa ooooa-aa.... (I still think she's a man....)
In all seriousness -- both of those episodes are scary -- good to know you were level headed in both situations...
