I am sorry this topic has absolutely nothing to do with swimming, but that is the weirdest thing that ever happened to me and who else would I share it with but my beloved swimming community :-)))
Anyways, here is what happened to me today.I went to Mall of America to do some shopping.I mean I finally set aside money to invest into something non-related to swimming.I am definitely not a shopaholic, but today I felt the urge to get into some new clothes.Well, afew hours after browsing that huge concentration of temptations I gathered quite e few purchases.To top it off I decided to get myself some cool jeans, so I ended up in one of the clothing shops.I had some trouble finding my size and I caught an eye of A GORGEOUS young lady that was working there and asked her to help me out(well, because she was so good-looking, I obviously had even more trouble finding stuff :-))).She turned out to be a sweet-heart and pretty much guided me through all my shopping experience at this little shop and I finally had 2 pair of jeans that I liked after trying out thousands of them(well, not exactly that many, but you know what I mean).So it was time for me to go, but I kinda felt reluctant to leave without having a little chat with that cutie.So I asked her name and stuff and we had a pleasant little conversation.Man, she told me to stop by some time to say hello :-)))Maybe she liked me?'Cause I surely liked her, lol:))
Anyways we finished talking, smiled to each other, wished each other good night and all those things and I headed out home thinking about nothing but that girl I just met.
Ok, guess what happened when I got home?I realised that the girl totally stole my brains at the moment when we were talking, BECAUSE I LEFT THE STRORE WITH THE JEANS IN MY HANDS FORGETTING(I MEAN FORGETTING!!!!) TO PAY FOR THEM!!!
OH my GOD!!!I never shoplift or anything of a kind and never ever anything like that happened to me!
Should I go back there tomorrow and pay or is that going to look weird?The most amazing part is that the jeans had those magnetic devices but they obviously never got activated or whatnot...
WOW, I mean WOOOOOOOOOOW.I must have really liked the girl, 'cause my brain was obviously paralized for that moment...I promised her I would stop by again :-)))She told me when she works.I was trying to be a decent guy and not jump into the whole "Can I have your number" thing right away, lol.
Man, all I have to say is : women are trouble , or from the woman's view on the situation it could be: men are so stupid!!!
You can't do that if she lives in a single-level house. What would you do?? Crouch below her window and sing??
What you could do in this situation is first dig a hole so that only your crooning mouthparts extend above the earth's surface. If the song goes over well, ascend triumphantly into her waiting, and quite possibly quivering, arms.
If, on the other hand, it bombs, just bury yourself along with your ukelele, humiliation, and unrequited love in the pre-dug grave. The next spring, when a well-fertilized lilac blooms by her window, the petals the exact pink-going-to-scarlet hue of your blushing embarrassment, she will think to herself: What a fool I was not to see True Love when he sang to me last winter! Sigh! Then she'll cut the flowers and place them in the vase on the kitchen table and fry patty sausage for her brutishly macho ass of a boyfriend.
One of the funniest posts in recent memory, Jim. Glad you picked lilacs.
"Brutishly macho ass" --- to be avoided at all costs. Ugh.
P.S. I have been to Sewickley many times. It is a little eden in a sunless city. My friend actually owns the shop I referred to, Bailey & Bailey. Relatives there, so I have occasion to be in the Mt. Lebanon area. I've swum at Lebo High, the Lebo Rec Center, the downtown Y and the Rivers Club, but never in Sewickley. I hope you have a nice team there. Maybe I'll pop in for a meet sometime if I'm in town!
Is your friend by any chance Holly Miller, mother of Haley and Duncan? I went into her store once, not really knowing the fashion world very well, and asked Holly if she had a James Bond style tuxedo I could rent for an award ceremony. She told me she only had women's clothing.
Her son Duncan is one of my son Jack's good buddies.
Since this thread has tackled the subject of la difference, you might find this funny. When Jack, Duncan, and their other buddy Aaron were 5 or 6, I was driving them to a movie, listening to their boyish conversation. At one point Duncan proclaimed that "girls have balls." Jack and Aaron both started laughing, Duncan said, "What?" Jack said, "Girls don't have balls." Aaron quickly agreed with Jack.
You could see this look appear on Duncan's face. He started to smile a little. "I knew that," he said. "I was joking." Jack and Aaron kind of shook their heads and laughed at this transparent attempt.
We drove for a minute in silence. Then Duncan said, "But girls do have nuts."
Our little Subaru erupted in laughter.
I gotta say that from this guy's perspective, Women--especially ones with nuts--are trouble. I defy any of you to debate that!
Speaking of 'true love', the definitive movie on the subject was 'Princess Bride'. An all-time favourite.
"Hello. My Name Is Inigo Montoya. You Killed My Father. Prepare To Die."
;)

It depends Jim. Women with nuts can be a lot of fun. I like girls that are feisty, otherwise I roll over them (pardon the expression). That said, I'm not in the market at present, and my feisty wife will most likely injure me severely in the event that I go further than window-shopping...
:rofl:
I read today that the average woman spends $85 on her husband on Valentine's Day and the average male spends $155. That proves that women are more trouble.
(I didn't get in trouble.)
You're not trying hard enough then ;) I can give you some tips...
OK, what did you do? I already told you not to ignore the wife and kids while you are getting all obsessed with the swim stuff. ;) Did you not follow my sage advice?
Not cheating before or after practice?
Did you send roses? I think Fortress dissed those. Did you not listen to your buddy?
Too many poems to female posters?
Wife reading the forum posts over your shoulder?
Too many meets?
I'm looking to stay out of trouble. :drink:

Sounds like you're scared of your wife? Is she a big meanie?
Not too many meets, no. The Zones will do as a good family trip and the kids can go to DC while dad tries to swim.
