Yes this story will get me killed but it must be told. Okay so everybody knows I’m not a flirt (shut up everybody). But today was special I actually had someone start to flirt with me.

The story as told by one cute guy (shut up everybody squared). Okay so we ordered a special scanner and it came in, we unboxed it pluged it in… there was a loud pop, and a piece flew across the room. Yes it took three engineers to figure out it was bad. (I’m so proud of my team)

I looked at the label and saw that they were in Longwood like 10 minutes away, and why they shipped it UPS 2nd day is beyond me. So I called them up and after the tech on the phone had me go through 25 different things that I knew would nothing… Like hold the power switch and jump up and down while rubbing you tummy. I got them to agree to let me take it to them so they could replace it.

I loaded it up and was on my way. When I got there (and no Donna you will never ever know where this place is located HA!) there was a girl behind the counter not that I would ever notice if she was cute or anything (you know the drill… shut up!!!) but then as I came in she asked “what was wrong with it” and I said, and this was so out of character for me… we plugged it in there was a puff of smoke, a genie appeared and granted us three wishes, there were three of us and we each asked for a coke, and here I am. Normally this would get a roll of the eyes followed by an oh brother one of those…

No sir for the first time in 20 some odd years this girl starts to giggle and hits me with a OMG you’re so silly… (that’s a common girl flirt line YES!!! Whatever I say it is) Then she keeps staring at me and looking at my paperwork I got a smile and a “Oh wow Eduardo… are you Spanish?” I said yea I’m Cuban “ that got another smile followed by a “Oh that is soooo cool” and then she started asking me every known question in the world and showing me how well she knew Spanish I never really heard it said like this but it sounded like “como extra y’all seenor”

Then it hit me holly cows this girl is honest to goodness flirting with me… Me a 41 year old mid life crisis knocking on the door where is my sports car kiss me goodbye I got one foot in the grave engineer techno geek weenie boy… What is this girl nuts??? Why I’m old enough to be her fath.. errrrr Older brother yea that it older brother… Or is this another example of laser vision eye surgery gone very very wrong???

Well I’m gonna gonna enjoy this… nothing will ever happen again, but for now this is great.

And then it happened from behind I hear a door open and then you hear those words that you just do not want to hear… “OMG as I live and breath ED OTERO!!!” and I turn to find standing there one of the guys I started working with some 25 years ago when I first got to Orlando and things where fun… One of my old techno geek pals from the past Manny Berios.

We did the pal thing and slapped each other a few times and he tells me he works there now. Manny had not wanted to change still in sandals, looking like he just left a grateful dead concert, but full of tell tale signs he was as old as me… Then he says,,, come on I’ll show you the back its huge.

So here I am I got flirty girl in the front making me feel 25 years old again, or friend from the past wanting to show me his old Apple computer collection… What was I to do????

I’ll beat the system I’ll stay here for a bit longer and then go see my friend. “Hey go ahead Manny I have to finish my paperwork and I’ll meet you in the back”

Strike one… “oh forget it dude I’ll take care of it you’re my bud!!!”

No man that’s cool I don’t want to….

Strike two… “Will not hear of it I’ll get you a new unit before you leave”

I really don’t want any special treatment man I’ll just…

Strike three and I’m out… “Forget here you’re my guest and I’ll take care of you”

As I’m lead out the back door into techno geekdom I look back and see cute counter wave and “bye Ed see you” and realize that this will never ever happen again, this was my hey a girl is actually flirting with me shock of my life and in the blink of an eye it was over!!!

I spent the next the next 20 minutes in techno world, with the techno geeks, and did have fun, played a quick game of Doom because these guys remember me when I was the Doom king, and then to make sure there was never any hope they loaded me up with my new scanner and even let me out the back so I would not have to be bothered and go through that nasty old lobby… noooooo they took me through a short cut out the side and look there’s my car right by the door…

So for all you dedicated aged men out there remember this “Someday somehow a cute girl will flirt with you, but as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, you’ll be with your wife and she will hit for doing nothing but saying hello, or a friend from the past will came and take you away”

Make good choices…

As for me when Donna reads this I will be dead, but hey for a brief moment in time… I was the flirtee.

Disclaimer…

On behalf of Ed we the good guys of America would like to say… Donna spare him for he did nothing wrong, and he later did find out that the girl does that with everybody, as she gets commission on anything she sells. Which would explain the guy with the I love beer t-shirt carrying the plasma monitor to his car when I came in…?

Oh and ladies don’t ever tell me that while your on vacation if some golden tanned buffed towel boy comes up to you and says can I get you anything beautiful lady followed by a wink and smile you all don’t go silly goo goo as well.

As for me I’m off to the gym I gotta work on that six pack…. Love ya MEAN IT!!!!
 
How many times a month do you say "Donna's gonna kill me!" ?

and that disclaimer...HA

Donna, get him, and get him good, where it counts.

Oh and ladies don’t ever tell me that while your on vacation if some golden tanned buffed towel boy comes up to you and says can I get you anything beautiful lady followed by a wink and smile you all don’t go silly goo goo as well.

WELL DUH!!!!!!! but that is different...because we put up with YOU MEN and have to have SOME fun. We need to feel like someone appreciates us! :teeth:

Ps. Remember to read my Tag Line Ed....I can 'run' faster than you....and I think I will have to after you read this! hehehehe
 
Doom?
You played Doom?

I was the Doom champion :teeth:

Ask Donna sometime how she asked me to choose Doom or her and I had to think about it :teeth:

Then I went on to Duke Nuke-em ahhh those were the days.
 

All hail the Doom King!!!
that doesn't sound right does it? :D
 
At least Little Miss Flirter didn't say: <b>"Hey, Popi, I didn't realize you are <i>as old as</i> Manny!"</b> :eek: :rolleyes: :smooth:
