Actually, I think the "bad anecdote" shows how abso-frickin-lutely cool you are. Instead of a)crying or b)shooting him, you responded in a calm, deliberate, humorous manner. The only blackfootian criticism I have is, you should have said that you were out of the author's league, not the other way around. But that's just the blackfoot in me talking. I actually dig the self-deprecation.
Yeah, I'm cool but I wonder where that gets me. Remember my H would like to keep our relationship at the emotional level of an episode of Seinfeld. I think I might prefer the opportunity to be appreciated for being a warm funny bunny rather than something cool. I really wasn't being self-deprecating, just honest- that author was too hot for me to handle-LOL.

One way of looking at it is that it was H's way of expressing jealousy over your interest in the author's message. Maybe he misread that as interest in the author himself (maybe after taking a peek at the author's pic) and he decided it was a good time to mark his territory, albeit by p!ssing all over you.
That's pretty much how I read it too. However, that sort of behavior pretty much makes me feel like I'm in a worst possible scenario from the POV of the cow analogy I posted on CeMar's thread. I don't get milked often enough (though it has improved and my production has gone down), I don't get carrots (no flowers on my Bday- boo hoo) and I get hit with the stick if I even unconsciously start walking away towards the fence towards the hinterlands where men who might actually have the initiative to milk me or give me a carrot dwell.
But my H's behavior was a positive sign of fence mending so I'm keeping my sunny bunny side up.
