Teenage Mutant Backseat Dancers - 11/18 UPDATE! P25 - Leaving on a jet plane

[bankr63]

I was worried too, about meeting expectations.
But then I thought, "If they don't like me, nobody will ever know.
And if they post it here, I'll call them big, mean liars."

See? No sweat!

Besides, only about half my readers truly know how incredibly dull I am in person.

Right Nebo... and Smidgy... and mmeb144... and Orangecats2... and bankr63...

I'm sorry, have we met?

 

[pkondz]

I'm sorry, have we met?

You don't remember?
Maybe it was because the room was too dark.
Perhaps it was the smoky atmosphere.
Or the slow music, playing softly in the background.
Do you now remember?
Remember as we gazed into each others eyes...
And as I reached across the table, a voice... no... two voices crying out in unison.
"Knock it off guys, or were leaving right now!" Ruby and A+ simultaneously admonished.

Followed by the requisite rolling of the eyes.

So Banker gets candlelight, romance and ambiance and all I get is a deli!

I see how you are!!!

 

[Forum Jumper]

Very nice! Is that a Ford Pinto?!?!

Okay! Okay! I'm kidding!
It's a really nice car.
I remember when I first saw one two or three years ago.
I stopped in my tracks.
I hadn't been aware that they were bringing it back.

A very good use of your money, if I do say so myself.

FORD PINTO???? Ok, I now have an idea of your age!

Continuing to read about other people's more exciting lives....

Hello! You're husband and son were going to be there!?!

At my age, I tend to shy away from those awkward moments when
someone beats the snot out of you.

(note the one with the 'stach is getting his butt handed to him...)

FORD PINTO???? Ok, I now have an idea of your age!

Well if your idea is 8, then you're dead on.

Oh, wait... You were talking about my maturity level, right?

Continuing to read about other people's more exciting lives....

Glad to have you along for the ride!
Welcome to our crazy!

What's wrong with a Ford Pinto?

That's the last Ford I actually liked. I learned to drive standard on my mom's Pinto; she liked it so much she bought two of them. And not a one of them ever exploded!

Heck, did you know that you can actually get the front wheels of a Pinto off the ground if you pop the clutch just right? I totally smoked a buddy in a 6cyl Chevy Monza - probably because he wasted a lot of time picking his jaw up off the ground after seeing a Pinto pop a wheelie. I should probably stop now; I still haven't told my mom about doing that in her car during my wasted youth

Our white Pinto station wagon caught on fire. Sadly, my mom was able to put the fire out.

Really OC2, it's highly overrated. I still have nightmares about that evening...

There's nothing wrong with the Ford Pinto (as long as it didn't explode). The point was more being OLD enough to remember a Ford Pinto....not the Pinto its self.

I learned how to drive a stick shift in my boyfriend's Pinto, too....from Pasadena to Huntington Beach. We would normally go on his motorcycle but, when he started dating me, he bought a Ford Pinto. His parents didn't like me so, when he wouldn't stop seeing me, they (who had co-signed for the car) returned it to the dealer and he lost his money on the thing. No drama in that family.

I have heard that one could pop a wheelie in Pintos but I had never seen it done. So, you are really one of a kind who has done something so rare that we, who are lacking, can only whisper about.

You're lucky a feather never landed on the rear bumper.

What?
Fine. It's over! Consider that our last date!

So what you're trying to say is that you think I'm ancient.
You think I'm too old to even...
Hang on...

Gotta take my Geritol...

Ahhh....


Uh.


What were we talking about??

Couldn't have been important... moving on...

Consider yourself lucky.
If they really didn't like you, they would've given you the keys...
Then crashed into you!
"The car didn't explode, Mabel."
"Ram her again, Herb!"

I'll have to agree with you there.
Montague is definitely lacking and we do whisper about him.

Don't worry, it's not a secret... he already knows.

It's good to be here. I needed a Friday laugh!

Have a good weekend, all!

I could have left the boys at home...

And I forgot to ask what Banker's real name is! I've wanted to know for years!

 

[pkondz]

You mean that was an option, and you didn't tell me?

Then again, might've been tough leaving the girls behind...
since they were the reason for the trip in the first place.

And I forgot to ask what Banker's real name is! I've wanted to know for years!

Wouldn't've helped.
Ask Nebo how successful he was in getting that info out of me.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm here!!! I'm gonna be in a TR! It's my first time! So excited and nervous. Maybe they didn't like me? Was I weird? Or too stuffy? Oh the pressure!

I'm not very far into this story, but from the looks of things, it might depend on how much "stuffidness" you displayed.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Okay, all caught up now! Nice that your first day went well and the girls were so well behaved. Looks like they are two peas in a pod and will have a great time together - also you are a little out numbered estrogen wise, so I see you were relegated to the couch on he first night. You should have bought the electrocution device at the MOA. It might have helped your back.

I remember having a demo of that in Phoenix. She's asking me how I Feel, while I'm jumping and yelling, "ouch!" The more I complained, the more she tortured me. Yep, I'll take THREE of those, Please.

Nice DISmeet! So fun you got to meet up with so many at once! Great pics, Elle! That pizza looks so yummy. It reminds me of the Garcia's Pizza - Chicago deep dish that was in our little neighborhood in Rantoul, IL when we first got married. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. They had little delivery cars with big tomatos on the roof of the cars

Well, she may have been dressed in a Princess Jasmine costume.

Oh, they were very well behaved.... and then.... later... <shudder>

YOU THINK?!?!?!?!?!?!?

First. Night.

You should have bought the electrocution device at the MOA. It might have helped your back.

I really did consider it.... then considered the source and went, "Nah."
Do I really want to buy a medical device from some kid at a cart?

That pizza.... oh, boy. I want another one right now.
Twelve hour drive.... so tempting.

Ha! You wish I was dressed like that...

I forgot to tell you that I went back to the deli about two weeks later so I could get that soup.

Meet ya in Chicago?

 

[pkondz]

Ha! You wish I was dressed like that...

Always.

I have photos, folks.
You can see for yourselves in... two posts.

And? Good as you remember?

Meet ya in Chicago?

Temptress!!!
