LOL@ the movie with surround sound thing!!
tif, most of us aren't here for online dating purposes either. From what I've seen, very few in fact are. We're friends and we just kind of share what's on our minds and hearts. Some have done the online dating thing as well and weren't fond of it either. Glad you've pulled up a chair to join us.
Oh, thank God. I just really want some people I can talk with and relate to when "normal people" are asleep/unavailable. Sometimes, I just wish I never had to go to work again so I could do all the fun stuff.
Oh, and about why that movie specifically was a hilarious mishap... Here's the story:
A guy, we'll call him Bud, showed up for our blind date 15 minutes late. He brought flowers, but it was a truly humongous bouquet of lilies (I'm allergic, but I didn't say anything). We had some cordial conversation, and after dinner, we paid stag. Upon rising from my seat, I saw that he was a full 2-3 inches shorter than me (I'm already short at 5'3").
Bud suggested we catch a movie, and when we arrived, he asked what I'd like to see. Four times. I meant it when I told him I hadn't seen a movie in years and hadn't heard of any of these. He looked at the listing and said, "Hey, 'Inglorious' sounded good!"
The sign read: Ingloriou 5:30 7:00 9:30 11:00
We sat near the back. The lights dimmed. There was a scene in German with Jewish refugees hiding out under the floorboards of a house. The owner of the house gave them away, and bullets started flying. A girl ran away, splattered with blood. Then, the title: INGLORIOUS BASTARDS.
Toward the middle of the movie, there is a gruesome scene... All I'll say is it involved a Jewish guy, his bat, and a German guy's head. And the theater-goers were laughing uproariously. Including Bud.
Bud wanted to get coffee... I tried to say that I was tired, but he insisted, so we sat very awkwardly on a coffee joint couch for another hour.
Needless to say, WORST DATE EVER!
It's funny now, though. You know, you just can't make this kind of stuff up!
