Go on a hike and whistle and make it a point to look for Sasquatch/Bigfoot. What's the harm?
TRUE STORY - About 3 years ago I met a young lady who was about 19 years old and she told me her name was Yeti. I asked her how it's spelled, and it was "Yeti".

So, it's decision time...

Do I ask her if she knows what a Yeti is? It's a good time, I'll be gentle. It could happen at a much worse time, right?

She doesn't know what a Yeti is. I tell her, and all the references to Yeti in pop culture I've heard. She doesn't take it badly, but not that great either. She says, "Well, I'm not a big hairy animal." I said, no, you're a lovely young lady, I just thought you should know.

I dunno... Yeti is also the name brand of a product line of coolers. You could say that's a cool name. ;)

I don't remember what my friend's cat name was. I think he told me, but it wasn't anything that stuck out.

So, did I make the right decision to tell her what the only known definition of her was, even if it's a foreign word from the Himalayas? It was just her, her female friend and me.

Burn the dinner you are making your date.
Cover for your lack of cooking skills by calling it "blackened"

I have been known to do that, depending on how much cheese I order.

A local convenience store makes an excellent pizza (when the right person is there making it.) I order a supreme, extra-extra-extra cheese (yes it's expensive) and request it well done to make sure it cooks all the way through.
