I am sure we all have some funny stories to share on this topic!
You're too kind...it was a parable..not the truth..though I fear that 98% here failed to see the cunning pun..(I suppose I could post a link to a Morgan website, but nah....)
LOL!! So true...
That was a DIFFERENT dakine... common name, often mistaken...
or a contortionist....
Sorry, I had to bail for a minute. Got pinged to another thread while I was having a good time here. A damn drive-by Bush basher troll over on a Terri Schiavo thread.
I hate that.
not only would that be possible..it would be heaven..
I don't go out on New Year's Eve anymore.
Rule # 4 of Dating-
"Never Date Someone Who Doesn't Speak Your Language"
(Or Thinks Burqas are Sexy)
When I was dancing, my Moroccan Bosses had brought relatives over to work in the restaurant. One was a guy who worked in the kitchen with a visa (I believe). I think he was a dentist and was hoping to stay here permanently.
Anyhow, he always was up in the office chatting with them in Moroccan when I was up there in the dressing room. One night, the 'Big' Boss yells out through the door "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Well, I'm standing there trying to change for the next set and nervous and not thinking I yell back, "NO!"
Moroccan chatter, then,
"Are you dating anyone!" followed by excited Moroccan chatter.
OK, now I'm getting really nervous, 'cuz it's pretty common in this particular restaurant for the married guys to have 'girlfriends'. So I poke my head out the door and glare him. "NO! Why are you asking''!
He points to his cousin (who can speak all of 4 words of English).... "He wants to date you."
At this point I see about 10 sets of eyes on me...the Bosses, their wives, kids etc. All smiling.
I kinda corned, ifyaknowaddamean.
So I shrug and say "Sure" thinking, what can come of one date? (with no conversation!).
Sooo, we go out (I have to drive) to a movie. It's pleasant enough, but again, about 4 sentences of conversation. Movie is OK. He keeps saying something about the movie "The Titanic". I tell him, with sign language that I HATED the movie. (Maybe the gagging hand sign means something else in Moroccan). I take him home thinking "There, I've done my duty, now I'll just lay low for a while."
Er, wrong....
Next day he comes to work, bringing me a copy of "The Titanic", and telling me he's called Mom in Morocco and told her all about us. He's down on one knee, happy and excited. Then it dawns on me what the sentence with "US" and Mom means in Moroccan.
OK, at this point, my eyes are buggin' out cuz there ain't no "US" to talk about. A conversation consisting of repeating 4 sentences, a Pepsi and a shared box of popcorn does not an "US" make.
I ask him what he means and he proposes....
I say "No, thank you very much".
He says "But you're alone"
I say, "I like being alone."
He looks confused, like this sentence doesn't make sense and tries again.
This conversation repeats for about 5 minutes, with him looking more and more dumbfounded. He finally left, totally baffled. My guess was he was looking for a lonely Green Card. And yeah, the Bosses were major miffed with me.
Needless to say, I wasn't working there much longer.
Ever pretend to be a lesbian while out with girlfriends to avoid talking to a guy? I did that once. Doesn't work, they like it.
Speaking as a guy, it's probably the worst thing you can do. :0)
LOL! I found that out. Not only did we have this guy, but then a group of his friends hounding us too!
Never been on a bad date. I make the chicks buy my beer. ;o)
I still don't have a clue! Nada! But I listen...:-)
Awww!
I have a new kitten who likes to hide under my dresser and tease my older cat. When he does, it looks like the dresser has grown a pair of kitty legs.

All the time. :o)
Guys get turned on by lesbians (which is weird to me).
Look fellas, if two women are together, and they know how the 'Go' panel on each other works, WHY would they want to risk bringing in a fella who might be able to find it with a map, floodlight and instructions?
Using a loaded pistol or a Jedi Mind Trick?

"So," I continued very reasonably, "...there's only ONE WAY to SAVE YOURSELF...!"
she didn't buy it.
