A Wonderful Date

So, The Boyfriend, Rally Edition and I had a wonderful date. (This is the other part of the date that was overshadowed by the naked women.)

We went to ride a roller coaster. It was a lot of fun. Short, but a lot of fun. The scariest part of this little escapade was the elevator ride back to the car. Well, we didn't actually ride the elevator back. When he pushed the button for the elevator, the plate surrounding the button fell forward. This bothered us a lot. A whole lot. So we decided to just take the stairs. The stairs were also horrifying. This particular casino has spent a lot of money re-vamping the whole place, but I guess they're going with the "crack alley" motif for the stairwell.

Also at this hotel, we saw a yellow Porsche with the license plate "CADABRA". BFRE decided that it was probably the magician's who was playing there. Clever.

We then went to a coastal Mexican restaurant. The food was great. Our server was fun. She was in training, so we ended up slipping her some cash and putting a crappy tip on our credit card receipt. (If you're not "in the know": When servers are training, the trainer actually keeps the tips, even if you saw neither hide nor hair of said trainer.)

We then went to a comedy show. There was a lot of funnies. One comedian sounded a lot like Cliff Claven, as he was from Boston. He also did impressions; Mister Rogers, Bert & Ernie, old game show hosts. Did a few tv show song parodies. He was good. But now I wonder if he really had a Boston accent.

The main guy had an uncanny resemblance to Barney Fife. Did a really good impression of him too in reference to our prison here. Because, see, as some of you know, there's a stretch of highway by the prison where there are signs that say "Do Not Pick Up Hitchhikers". So the guy was saying, "What the hell? Build a wall! What, do you guys have Barney Fife securing the prison out there? (place impression here)'ah hell, there goes another one. Well. I guess. Put up a sign."

He had some good lines about America too. Such as, "ATTACK US?? Are you crazy?? Do you know who we are? WE'RE INSANE!! We'll take over your country and make you wait 4 hours in line to ride Goat Mountain."

And he's right. We will.

After the comedy club we went for some sushi. I really wanted sushi. Even though we had eaten just a couple of hours before, I still really wanted sushi. So we got sushi. During sushi, we were watching a couple. The girl got a little loud to the guy saying how he never listens. Why doesn't he listen? All that crap. Then 10 minutes later they were kissing. She got on his lap to kiss him. Lots of gushiness. The girl then went to the bathroom. The guy then got on the phone. I started laughing. Because it was funny. I told BFRE that a girl would have never gotten on the phone at that moment. He asked me why. I said because we (as girls) would have sat there looking after him, wondering if he was mad, hoping he wasn't, worrying that he might still be even though he started kissing again. Because we're like that.

Anyway, my bet was for 2 months, The Boyfriend said 9 weeks.

We were both wrong.

Yes, I approached them to ask. I'm like that. Apparently, they have never "consummated" their togetherness, as Oscar tells it. Jennifer is completely frustrated that they have known each other for three months and he won't put out for her. Jennifer's 21. Oscar's 32, actually 33. (I talked to Oscar's friend who called while we were talking, and his friend, Rick, told me that it was Oscar's birthday.) And, no, Oscar is not gay. It was fun to talk to them for a few minutes and see if we were right in how long they had been together. Keeps life interesting.

But during sushi, The Amazing Jonathon walked past our table. So I said, "HEY! It's The Amazing Jonathon." He looked at me, I said, "hi." He gave a "I'll acknowledge your existance, but don't bother me" smile.

When we left, in the valet part of the parking lot, we saw a yellow Porsche with the license plate "CADABRA".

I think The Amazing Jonathon is stalking us.
