Poll question: Sometimes you have so much you could do that you don't know what to do...
So help me narrow down my choices, please.

4. Try "The Economist"
I try to read one pseudo-Right Wing mag, and this one's pretty fair. 100 pages a week!

is a pretty good dirty subject line. So, to imagine what you look like, I have only to imagine Molly Ringwald with quickly darting lazy eyes. Got it.

And your dirty subject lines are indeed impressive.

11. Glad I could help. And what are you doing
hanging out with drunk old guys trying to get laid? Looks like the social scene wherever you are might be less than optimal.

Hey, speaking of dirty subject lines, you didn't respond to what might be the dirtiest one I have thought of to date.

:evilfrown:

12. That sad devil always makes me laugh
Whoever thought of a sad devil, anyway?

Actually, forgive me, but I had no FRIGGIN IDEA what you meant by that post. I just figured your mom wouldn't want you giving away something valuable like a pearl necklace? :shrug: Enlighten me. Teach me. Use your experience to guide me...:evilgrin:

Oh, those drunk old guys! They're everywhere, you know? Salty fisherman's taverns have a lot of them. I go to people watch and eat fish and chips. :-)

13. I never had occassion to use the sad devil until then.
Edited on Sun May-02-04 07:29 PM by Donkeyboy75
And if I explained what a pearl necklace is (other than the obvious definition), I would certainly be banned. Your mind is purer than I thought.

Can you explain the fun in watching people eat fish and chips?

14. LOL --you have really got me giggling!!
NO, NO, See -- *I* eat the fish and chips, and while I'm doing it, I watch people. And talk to people. People at these bars are pretty interesting. And the view is fabulous. I love to be by the bay and watch the sailboats and ships come in.

And I will be expecting an explicitly detailed PM from you very shortly. :D

15. Well, I can send you a PM,
but my joke will probably lose its thunder. I would highly recommend against doing a google search on "pearl necklace."

I must agree with the "intersting people" at those types of taverns. A good friend of my parents' was an Irish folk singer, and would play in some of those types of pubs. I only went a couple of times when I was younger (thought the songs were hilarious), but thinking back I'd bet some of those guys are pretty entertaining to talk to.

I've only gone solo to a couple of pubs. One was in England. I'm a huge soccer fan, and when I was there I just starting talking to these two guys. They took me on a pub crawl all over London afterwards. I started to get a bit freaked out when the crazier of the two asked me "Do you want me to tell you the day you will die?" He apparently had suffered head trauma in a mugging and was now blessed with "special mental powers." The other time was in my neighborhood. I went to one of my favorite watering holes, and this guy just starts bitching to me about women. I always love these talks, and we ended up getting plastered, and went and sang karaoke (which I NEVER do). I was :hangover: the next day like you wouldn't believe.

16. Wild. You know, one of these guys I met at the bar had similar
"mental powers".

He said he had a metal plate put in his head, and now he could cure people of illnesses and problems just by talking to them. He called it his "Zen". I said, That's interesting, you are a student of Zen Buddhism then? He looked at me blankly, like he didn't know what I was talking about. He kept telling me sporadically, throughout the evening, that "everything was going to be OK." And yes, he told me I looked like "that girl in The Breakfast Club".:crazy:

I wonder if there are a lot of these "gifted" folks around?:shrug: And if they all hang out in bars?

18. I sometimes think I have special mental powers
after I've been at a bar too long. Especially the one where everything I say is funny, or the special mental power that by convincing my companions to drink more is going to save the world somehow.

That's hilarious about Zen buddhism. I think you two just miscommunicated. Maybe he was talking about "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." Or possibly he was a Dancing Wu-Li Master. But he was talking about his metal plate, so most likely ZEN was an acronym, and you misunderstood. I opt for Zoroaster-channeling Energy Nodule. I believe your friend in the bar could simply channel the divine! You are truly lucky to have come in contact with him. You know, Zoroaster needs to get laid too, so you can't blame a guy for trying. ;)

:freak:

17. Thanks for your help everyone!
But it ends up that I didn't really have a choice--sleep claimed me. The vicodin ended up putting me to sleep.
