"18 Yellow Roses"
In an interview with People Magazine, Bobby Darin's ex-wife, Sandra Dee, confided: "Before we were married, Bobby sent me 18 yellow roses every day. He even wrote a song called 18 Yellow Roses. As soon as we were married, the roses stopped. There was no lover anymore, just a husband. We honeymooned in Palm Springs in a home Bobby bought so he could be near his buddy Jackie Cooper. After three days I had to go to work. I'd fly back on weekends, wanting to see my husband, and he'd be playing poker with the guys. The third time that happened, I threw my ring at him. Then he begged forgiveness, and all was fine until the next time."[3]
gollark: At the specified maximum input power. Not more.
gollark: That sounds like destroying them.
gollark: How are you meant to identify me using *favors*?
gollark: ... what?
gollark: I... am probably failing at this, since if you go through enough of my somewhat-linked accounts you can probably put together enough data to uniquely identify me, but OH WELL.
