You lose again

[lizblackdog]

Ran into Shiny-Headed Neighbour while coming back from a dogwalk just now. He ran into my mother in the hallway when she came to visit during Blogathon (thank you Mum!) and he was massively taken with her, as is everyone who ever meets her. So naturally, he had to tell me all about it.

SHN: "Oh! I met your Mum! She's really nice, isn't she!"

Me: "Yep. I think so."

SHN: "And so attractive! Blimey, she's really attractive. I'd never have believed she was your Mum!"

Me: (deadpan) "Yeah, that sort of thing usually skips a generation."

SHN: (oblivious) "Yeah! That's true! She's so great!"

Be proud of me. I waited till I was back upstairs to pee myself laughing and mock him on the Internet. XD

Thank you!

I'm relieved, actually. He was showing signs of fancying me a while back - now, I can be notoriously non-picky, but he falls into the "not if you and I were tha last two living humans in the entire universe" category.

Hooray! Now you won't have to tell him to go away!


That story kinda reminded me of an encounter that I had with one of Ryan's (now very ex) girlfriends.
It was the first time I had met her, and I think we were both somewhere around 17...She turned to me and said "You know, I'm a natural blonde like you are, so I have to bleach my hair because otherwise it looks like I dye my hair blonde."


I really don't think Ryan was dating her because of her brains...

aaaah! that's classic!

You never know, now maybe he's fantasizing about having a go with you AND your mum :-p

That comment about you & your mum was from me, I got logged out for no good reason

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

AUUUUUUUUUUGH BRAIN BLEACH PLZ!

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH
That's why I'm "the evil 1"

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

There's evil, there's eeeeevil, and there's JUST PLAIN SQUICKY. One's own Mum is always automatically in the third category.

She'd love you, mind. She's the Queen of TMI. My sisters and I have been scarred for life from hearing way more than we ever wanted to know about her sex life.

Hey. According to aprilsnark, I am the Queen of TMI. :P

(I earned that nickname when I inadvertantly said the name Colin McKechnie instead of Colin McGregor during a Polaris meeting and, in front of 50 or so people, said aloud, "Not Colin McKechnie, Colin McGregor. Who the heck is Colin McKechnie? Oh, right, he's a guy I had a one-night stand with five years ago.")

HA HA HA. whoa, he is more oblivious than your average bear, isn't he?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

He is... there was no malice in it. I think he's like a dog; doesn't actually hear your words, just the tone you say them in.

He used to do a lot of coke, apparently.

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

i would never assume that a comment like that was malicious unless the person was an all 'round asshole. that just seems like a typically oblivious male type thing to say. :D

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

Yeah, some guys are dumb that way
This guy came 'round one of the local poly groups hunting, and he asked out my then-sweetie smoocherie, who shot him down flat, and he then went to my sweetie mladypain and literally said "Well I like your friend Cherie better and she's cuter, but she turned me down so...you wanna go out?"
She showed admirable restraint & didn't slap him.

My mother has a green tape. Generally I do not talk about the green tape, and most especially I do not think about what is actually on the green tape.

Pass the brain soap, please.

[ghost07.livejournal.com]

Ha! Now, actually, you only have to worry about him suddenly realising what he sounded like and knocking down your door to apologizxe...:D
