Blind Date Ditch

Blind dates are just plain scary, but it gets a lot worse when you meet them and discover they are far from even the most meager of hopes you had for them to be what you wanted. Here's some tips on how to get rid of them, fast!

Pull out a harmonica and play blues songs when your date begins talking about himself/herself.

When ordering, inquire whether the restaurant has any live food.

Without asking, eat off of your date's plate. Eat more from their plate than they do.

Chew with your mouth open, talk with your mouth full, and spray crumbs. If a crumb lands anywhere near your date, pick up the crumb, put it in your mouth and say, "I'm all about conservation."

Eat everything on your plate within 30 seconds of it being placed in front of you.

Excuse yourself to use the restroom. Go back to the head waiter/ hostess and ask for another table in a different part of the restaurant. Order another meal. When your date finally finds you, ask them "What took you so long in the bathroom?"

Recite graphic limericks to the people at the table next to you.

Ask the people at neighboring tables for food from their plates.

Beg your date to tattoo your name on their derriere. Keep bringing the subject up periodically throughout the meal.

Order a bucket of lard.

Ask for crayons to color the placemat. You'll need to be extra persuasive in fancier restaurants with linen tablecloths.

Howl and whistle at women's legs, especially if you are female.

Recite your dating history. Improvise. Include pets and relatives.

Upon entering the restaurant, ask for a seat away from the windows, w with a good view of all exits, and where your back will be facing a wall. Act nervous.

Lick your plate. Offer to lick your date's.

Hum. Loudly. In monotone.

Stare at your date's neck and grind your teeth audibly.

Twitch spastically. If asked about it, pretend you don't know what they are talking about.

Drool.

Stand up every five minutes, circle your table with your arms outstretched, and make airplane sounds.

Sacrifice French fries to a Pagon god.

Discretely fill your pockets with sugar packets, napkins, salt shakers, silverware, floral arrangements, etc...

Hold a debate. Take both sides.

Undress your date verbally.

Attempt to auction your date off to people nearby.

After getting your food slide under the table. Take your plate with you.

Order a baked potato. When the waiter brings your food, hide the potato, wait a few minutes, and ask the waiter for the potato you "never got". When the waiter returns with another potato, have the first one back on your plate.

Order beef tongue. Make lewd comparisons or comments about it.

Get your date drunk. Talk about their philosophy and tape the conversation. Later use good judgment in editing to twist their words around.

Discuss boils and lesions, as if from personal experience.

Occasionally speak in Pig Latin throughout the meal.

Take a break, and go into the restroom. When you return to the table, throw a spare pair of underwear on the back of one of the chairs. Tell your date, "They need to air out."

Order for your date. Order more food then he/she can possible eat. Tell them they "must eat it all or suffer the consequences."

If they are paying, order the most expensive thing on the menu. Take one bite, pretend like the food is disgusting and say, "Man, did you get ripped off!"

Bring twenty candles with you to the restaurant. During the meal get up and arrange them around the table in a circle. Chant.

Save the bones from your meal, and explain that you're taking them home to your invalid, senile old mother, because it's a lot cheaper than actually feeding her.

Ask your date how much money they have with them.

Refuse to speak to your date. Request that they mime the conversation instead.

During dinner guard your plate with your fork and steak knife. Give the impression that you'll stab anyone, including the waiter, reaching for it.

Collect all of the salt shakers from tables surrounding yours. Use them to build a tower on your table.

Wipe your nose on your date's sleeve. Twice.

Make funny faces at other patrons, then sneer at their reactions.

Repeat every third third word you say say.

Proudly explain to your date that you were voted "Most Festerous" in your high school yearbook. Give examples of why it was appropriate.

Read a newspaper, book or listen to a book on tape during the meal.

Order your food by colors and textures. Sculpt.

Insist that the waiter cut your food into little pieces.

Insist that the waiter take one bite from everything served to you. Explain that you need to make sure no one has poisoned your food.

Accuse your date of espionage. Pretend you have a secret microphone hidden on your body and you are talking the CIA.

Don't use any verbs during the entire meal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good morning everyboomie. welcome

It's day two of two, or 2 of 2 if you prefer.

I prefer day 2 of 10 but oh well. grin

Yesterday we went to a new location to hunt, and it turned out to be a not so good hunting ground. duh

I came back home, and went to the creek with Baby, and found nothing but heartache and disappointment, and three snakes. scared

One snake was dead and being eaten by another one, which disappeared in deep water when I tried to hit it.

I think I must have walked right over it getting down to the water. slapforehead

The other snake was dead, after I left. cool

I may not go to the creek again for a while. shame

Then again I may go today. wink

Have a happy day everyone.

joe

eek Joe. Be careful out there! I didn't think a snake would eat another snake. Do you have leather boots so you can't get bit? And armor for Baby! lol

Have a happy day everyone! I'll be in the corner.

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, unless you were hunting snakes it sounds like the hunt didn't go so well. Hope you have better luck today.

Ana, hope whatever is on your schedule for the day is good.

Cailyn, had the same night. On and off restless sleep. Coffee please!

Haroula, happy day to you.

Gerry, our storm was earlier but sounds like none of us got too much sleep last night.

Connie, have a wonderful day when you come in. Save me a Danish please.

To all who enter I'm wishing a great and happy day!

Good morning. I have a trip to Waltham this morning to the Boston Pain Clinic. I'm hoping the traffic won't be too bad. We'll see. I checked on Google and it doesn't seem too bad yet. Connie I'm sending positive vibes your way for your hubby. Morning Joe, Ana, Sue, Haroula, Gerry, Gail, and all who come in after me today. Have a wonderful day. It's gonna be in the 90's later. Whew!

LOVE the date hints Joe! I think a lot of those actually happened to me when I was dating. Ugh.

Off to the park again today to see if the transient guy heeded my 'request' and moved the shopping carts. Not gonna get close, will only look from a distance. I've decided it's not safe at all to go near that area. So annoying, so wrong that 'they' can keep 'us' from using 'our' park.

Trash day. Going to sit on my trash can since last week someone went through it again opening all the neat little plastic bags, and especially my cat litter bag and made a real mess of my can. I'm going to eventually FIX this problem. My can smells horrible today. Will wash it after pick up.

Lovely day again. Great weather.

Hello and good morning and good afternoon and good evening to an International Boomers group wave

I was piano-sitting this morning at the school for a teacher who got the flu (in spring!). Students didn't love me very much because I couldn't play the pieces for them (still rheumatic knees)...
Then lunch with Mum and sis and bro and niece.
Then admin and payments for my Mum.
Then bookkeeping at home (for me for a change).
Now it's 6.23 p.m. and I have to go cooking... and pop went the day...

May your day be more relaxed sleep puppy cat

Love!

Evelyne

Good afternoon boomies! I'm a little off schedule today but I'll get there eventually. lol

I went for a long run this morning and had two deer stop in the road and stare at me. I think they were chuckling at me saying "is this as fast as she can go?" rotfl

Peter came home last night so we are going grocery shopping together before he heads back to the city.

Connie, prayers and positive thoughts for hubby. hearts

Midgie, good luck!

Sue, sorry you couldn't sleep. sad

Nan, anything fun going on today?

Evelyne, I am so sorry you can no longer play piano. Growing older stinks sometimes doesn't it?

Sorta, Gerry, Darlene, manxman, Haroula have a great day!

Back from the Park Walk experiment. Transients still there, sidewalk/restroom still blocked and even MORE blockage.

We walked around but didn't go near that area today. City workers came and were doing some tree trimming and we were hoping they were going to roust the 'campers'. Didn't see any action there.

Park hours are 7:00am to 5:00 pm. We are going back after 5pm tonight to see if they are still there. If so, I'm going to lodge a formal complaint with the city asking why THEY get to be in the park after hours when it's closed to everyone. Also will detail the mess, the smell, the unsavory guys, and the 'vacation home' they have set up and continue to occupy.

They are ruining the park for anyone who might want to use it. I sure don't want to go there when it looks unsafe. What a mess this is.

Oh and some younger (teen looking) guy was hanging around them this morning. Dunno what he was up to but it looked like maybe drug sales. Stupid.

Sorta, you should be able to walk the past the park. It's a shame the police have given up on it and look the other way.

Haroula, sweet dreams.

Hi Boomies. Nan can I borrow your BOA for my trip tomorrow? I'm going to Amherst for my client's 55th college reunion. I'll be gone until Sunday. I know you lent them to me this morning so if someone else needs them it's OK pleaseandthankyou. smile

I hope you all had a great day today. I worked this evening from 5 to 8. I started to pack a suitcase for Barbara. I'll finish in the morning. I'm hoping this trip will be fun. I'll let you know how it goes.

Have a good night.
