Thanks, Bel!
Okay, so that wasn't really applicable, but I was on such a roll.

So that was his idea... all along...
I'm guessing he never even called the manager.  He just wanted to think of a way to hit on you.  Any points for nerve or originality?  That was too cute.

The down side is to avoid being in a trapped position with the stock keeper. Lol.

The way I see it, Ben, is that now ...
I'm free to do whatever I want in there.  I can, like, completely "run wild".

Well, it's just my nature, Ben ...

Yes, I'm a saint, I know.

Actually, Rumored, I've never seen a manager in that place ...

at least not one who was recognizable as such.

Asking on behalf of "others" is a common ploy, pkcricket.

I assume the cook wasn't attractive then (seeing as you didn't mention it).

Btw, that restaurant's name sounds vaguely familiar to me ... must be a franchise or something.

Why thank you, Rcky.

LOL-Sorry girl! Hope I didn't spoil your plot line...
I jumped ahead just like always.

All's well that ends well. You're a nice lady to forgive the stock boy. Lol.

My friend just graduated from Ohio State University.  So, me, my friend Lanna, and our friend Amy, went up to see Brian graduate, and we were all excited.  (Amy's his fiancèe, in case you're wondering why three girls would go see a guy graduate...) Anywho...he took us to this great restaurant called bd's mongolian grill.  It's really neat, I wrote a review about it in my review blog, but basically, you pick everything you want in your meal, noodles, meat, veggies...etc...and they fry it for you on this huge grill.  It's really cool.  Anywho, Lanna and I were up waiting for our food when one of the cooks comes over and says, "That guy wants to know how old y'all are."  We figured out he meant one of the other cooks.  Then, that cook comes over and asks us what we're doing after we get done eating.  We just laugh nervously and say, um, going home...to Cincinnati...we're with the graduate (Brian, in try Brian-fashion) had worn his entire cap and gown to the restaurant)...it was pretty funny.  Needless to say, we've been warning everybody about the flirtatious cooks while recommending the tremendous food.  Cricket ><>

It's not my fault that commercial jingles are so contagious, Darrke.

No, Trevor, I'm fairly certain he was attempting to develop a rapport ...
And I had asked him to summon the manager ... he never showed up though.

posted by Mademoiselle on June 24, 2006 at 7:32 AM | link to this | reply

Nah, Ben, I wouldn't want to get him in any trouble ...
besides the manager never materialized.

was he hitting on you, or was he just trying to make conversation in an awkward situation?  I don't know many people who would actually fetch a manager for such a paltry infraction though.

You could report him to the store manager.

That's a good way to put it, Azur ...
My professor says that, in both the written and the spoken, I have a certain indescribable something.

Why thank you, Lensman ...
My "unique style" typically tends to engender one of two dramatically opposite reactions ... perhaps I'm an acquired taste.

Good Twix caper, Mlle.  I've done the same thing, except it was a box of Kleenex.  Not half as tasty.

I continue to enjoy your writing style.

Still, Passion, I like to tell my stories at a certain, leisurely pace ...
I'd rather that people not jump ahead in the narrative.

I told you it was just a trick to get your phone number.
I know how men (and boys) are.

I should probably note that my brother is only 16 himself.
I don't want to make him sound like a predator.

Ah, I see, Cesium.

He has no chance of ever hanging out with me, Samhain, so ...
Ironically, my brother's girlfriend is even younger.

Mad girl, be extremely careful - if he is like maybe 16, then he could be setting you up to bring a charge of statutory.....well.....you know - sometimes guys do stuff like that. No need to thank me. I'm happy to be helpful. Samhain_Moon

Not really, Samhain ... I mean he was okay, I guess.
I'm already accounted for, though.  Plus he was, like, maybe 16.

hmmmm.....OK......was he at least cute........or maybe have an extremely large pricing gun? Samhain_Moon
