DrunkMonkey 0 #1 May 2, 2005 This and last weekend must be prom season. Around 130am last Saturday, as we were at the 24hr restaurant in ABQ, a legion of teenagers come in in tuxedos and cocktail dresses. Then this past Saturday, as a friend and I were having sushi, another gaggle of kids similarly clad, comes in. Goddamn I feel old, and It's only been 10 years. The funny part was the palpable sense of desperation that the guys were giving off at 0130, an almost painful need to close the deal with their little sweethearts before the sunrise. Heh. Prom season always reminds us of how awkward and silly HS was/can be. Thank god for Alcohol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrunkMonkey 0 #4 May 2, 2005 I guess it's just less subtle in the younger guys. They looked so frustrated it was hilarious... Wait...You're right--what's the diff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh. Just meander over and tell them that if it's 1:30 AM on prom night and they're in a Denny's/Shoney's/Perkin's/Eat and Park, then they don't have to worry about whether or not they're going to "close the deal" because they've already blown it...

boinky 0 #14 May 2, 2005 QuoteYou believed that??!! Yeah, unfortunately, I do. I've urged her to go with this one. Instead, she chases after another one that makes her cry all the time because he hurts her feelings. Now HIM? I'd like to break both of [B]HIS[/B] legs!!!

Because a lot of good girls think that if they hang around/shag the bad boy, it makes them bad girlz by proxy. It's living dangerously, vicariously. Your daughter excepted, but as Morpheus said "Fate is not without a sense of Irony." The Bad boy runs a higher risk of giving lil Suzy either a screaming, diaper-shitting fuck trophy, or a scortching case of some incurable STD. Poetic justice for all of us guys that were considered "too nice" while growing up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was a late bloomer, but made up for lost time. Was on the hot-streak of a lifetime until I met the love of my life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boinky 0 #22 May 3, 2005 OK...I'm going to his defense and prove my point about his being a nice guy. She originally picked out a beautiful pink dress on line, seeing as pink is her favorite color. He went out and ordered his tux to match her on that assumption. I raised hell at $140 for a dress that she was only going to wear once...not to mention the difficulties or order returns online, should it not meet her expectations. Long story, but she went to "Prom World" here in Atlanta with some friends and picked THAT dress out. I went to pick it up, and told them that the dress was pink. You could've knocked me over with a feather, when they showed me THIS dress! When the young man found out what happened, he had also already ordered the matching pink boutineer and the wrist corsage. To help the blue tie in with the pink, he had them put blue lace all around her pink roses. Now if THAT isn't a [B]NICE GUY,[/B] then I don't know what is! .Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?
