Cautionary Tale
 

He’s kidding, obviously. Nobody could be that insane. Thats almost stalking.

There’s no way he had a gf in Vogue. Nobody carrying that much game could fall to the level of stalking a random import gold digger.

If Spanky isn’t kidding, I predict a TRO in his future.

Abominal idea, non? Anyone EVER had a good "just show up" at place of business from a person they met in a bar and didn't call back? I hope he posts about the disaster that ensues.

You are focused on abs today.

I totally agree. When I bartended, this used to happen now and then. I don't think that anyone's status ever improved as a result. Quite the opposite.

Thurgreed's advice about unavailability is spot-on. I think it is universally true that if you have a kernel of interest in someone, and they become unavailable to a certain degree, that kernel grows into a whole ear of corn. Familiarity breeds contempt and all that. And if there's no kernel to begin with, unavailability of the other person preserves that other person's dignity.

What kind of woman are you? All women love to be pursued. If she hides from him when he shows up at work, he can wait in the parking lot and chase her with a tire iron as she runs to her vehicle.

Thurgreed's strategy also dovetails nicely with "if it's not yes then it's definitely no."

Only on your abs, schmoopie.

Yippee!!!
 

I am going to ACL this year. Do I get to meet Mr. RT and the Oddman?

Interesting Tidbit from the Fillmore
 

I have gotten seriously baked from brownies. It doesn't hit you as quickly as smoking. It just sort of creeps up on you and before you know it, you're totally stoned. A friend brought a batch to a party I threw years ago, and people talked about them for months. They were eagerly consumed by people who like to get high, but don't really like smoking.

What is the steam thing? I currently prefer a bong because I like the smoke water cooled for my comfort. I also heard that the water filters out a lot of the bad stuff, but I don't really buy that. Steaming sounds cool, though.

My brother had been telling me about these killer $40 ounces he's been getting lately. I was finally in his part of the state over the weekend. My pot smoking friends have moved away, and I don't really feel comfortable trying to score at work, so I've been completely dry lately. So I asked my brother to help me out. He showed up with these 2 skinny little toothpicks. wtf?

Spanks is far past the standard rules regarding familiarity and kernels/ears of interest.

He’s not even in the fucking same cornfield with the Serbian. She’s given him the Heisman in every conceivable gentle manner. There’s a certain point when even the most clueless man gets the hint. I think he’s either off the charts desperate or an egomaniac who cannot believe this woman is not interested in him.

The Serb was probably drunk and might have been a little more flirty than she’d otherwise be. Perhaps she just broke up with someone and just needed to feel the kick of giving out her number. Who knows? But what’s certain is, the next day, she all but told Spanks in plain English, “not interested.”

Take. The. Fucking. Hint. Already.

Yippee!!!
 

Mr Man and I will be there. But we are Old Hat.

Cautionary Tale
 

So my friend and I were bitching about work in a bar over drinks. 2 guys were listening in and asked why we hated our jobs. My friend goes "dude, were you eavesdropping?"
He says "no - you 2 seem to really hate your jobs."
I said, "so you were eavesdropping?"
Dude, "well we heard a little bit. Where do you work?"
My friend - "KMart."
Dude, "really? Which department?"
Me, "I work in the garden department, she works in housewares."
Dude, "really? What do I do with the stuff in my grass?"
Me, "dude, you totally need aluminum sulphate."
Dude, "wow, thanks. Which KMart do you work in, maybe I could stop by?"
My friend - "sure, come on by, we work in the Kirkland Kmart"
Dude, "cool" then he leaves.

So my friend goes, is there a Kmart in Kirkland? I said, I don't know. She said, how did you know about the aluminum sulphate thing. I said I'm not sure, but it might be that stuff they use to make bombs with.

Hahahahaha.

Hopefully he showed up at KMart asking for the woman who runs the garden department.

These traits are not mutually exclusive.

I'll be out of town. Sorry.
