Suzanne had an outing with her girl-friends the other day. Sounded like their day was a day of pampering: afternoon tea, massages, spas etc. Sheessh, women. 😉 Determined not to unfairly miss out on any fun, I decided to go out as well. So, I arranged for a double-date for myself! Read it and weep, Suzanne!
The plan was to take the ladies out for a nice dinner. Since these two particular ladies do have a reputation of, shall we say: mis-behaving, wild and difficult, I had to choose one of the rowdier restaurants. Since one of them expressed craving for ribs, I loaded up the ladies and the three of us headed to the local Outback.
Been quite awhile since I dined at Outback. Not exactly best known for ribs, but the ladies were hungry and I didn’t want to venture out of Cupertino. As I walked in the place hand in hand with the two ladies, I happened to notice that the ladies were attracting quite a bit of attention. The strange thing was that the attention was coming not from the guys, but from other ladies, especially mothers. Hmmm, curious…
The waitress greeted us and asked me: “night out with the ladies?” I proudly answered “that’s right!” with a big grin. After we ordered our drinks, the bread came and was as fresh and hearty as I remember. The ladies obviously enjoyed the bread lathered with butter, as their mouths were soon smeared all over with the butter. My dates were rather messy.
After the yummy bread we all began to chow down on the baby back ribs. The ladies took a few bites then quickly gave up on the ribs. Spicy sauce wasn’t their thing, I guess. Didn’t want to be a bad date, I ordered them an additional side dish of rice which was more to their liking. I tried striking up conversation, but one lady, the younger of the two, wasn’t a great one to hold a conversation with. Half of the time, she’d simply reply “What?” She seemed to carry some kind of an ascent as well…
Around this time, the ladies began to get a bit wild. Heck I don’t remember ordering them any alcohol; perhaps somebody spiked their lemonade. One of them started climbing onto the table and start dancing. The other busy causing a commotion of her own, kept peeping at the next booth. It helped that the place was as noisy as can be, so we didn’t draw any ire from fellow patrons. I can attest to my dates’ reputation, these ladies can be a handful! Whew…
Next came a dessert of vanilla ice cream with OREOs. The ladies went straight for the ice cream, no OREOs for these ladies since they don’t take a liking to anything chocolaty. By the time we were done with the dessert, the ladies seemed tired out and were ready to head home. These ladies do turn in rather early. Hmm… guess they aren’t the party animals I heard them to be.
All in all, it was a great time out. My two dates seemed to have a good time with me too! I’m already looking forward to another double date the next time Suzanne abandons me to go out with her friends! 🙂
When it comes to music, I’m like an old dog– set in my ways and sticking to familiar tricks. Thanks to hip hop, country and artists like Mariah Carey and N’Sync, I kind of gave up on popular music scene some years ago and stuck to “old” artists. Even with widely available MP3’s, I find that I rarely sample new music. Yes, I am a hermit musically– old school, un-hip and unplugged in many ways. 🙂
