I just had lunch with a very old friend of mine. I reserved the entire dinner theatre, had flowers on the table, had light music playing, stem glasses, the whole bit. Then we ate peanut butter and honey sandwiches and moose tracks ice cream, and drank pina colada SoBe. Gave her the flowers, and a small tranparent glass ornament in the shape of Belle and Beast dancing. Best time I've had in a good while, and she says that it helped make a stressful week a lot better. And I got a hug. So for those of you who questioned my judgement in food in the previous thread...
Nyah! Posted by Magnus de Pym (Member # 239) on :
A hug? I thought for sure Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches would've let you make your own sandwich.

Who'd be the third person?

Orson Wells was the Third Man.

Considering that Omega isn't very old, how long could this 'old friend' have been a friend???
Not even a little peck on the cheek??? Man, how depressing....
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
Just the fact that Omega put the thought and effort into something as simple as a lunch makes him awesome to me.
If some man would come into my life willing to do what Omega did, I'd probably marry him that very day.....
Don't tease him, guys... he put more heart and thought into this than most guys will put into an entire relationship. And he didn't even expect anything in return. Any girl should be so lucky...............

Posted by Free ThoughtCrime America (Member # 480) on :
So nobody has ever bought you lunch before? Jesus, what kind of men do you date?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Come on, guys. What Omega did is actually very romantic, and it's along the lines of something I would do. I'm glad to see that it works (along with my new philosophy of winning a woman's heart through her stomach). And don't going pooh-poohing hugs. It's the only form of intimate touching some of us (okay, I) can get.
Congrats, Omega, and good job.

Psychos, lunatics, and losers, apparently...
Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :
But I thought this was just a friend? Why would he need a romantic dinner for just a friend? Or is this a friend with benefits kind of thing, Omega?
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Let's all leave Omega alone, he gets enough shit from us over his political views and the odd stupid statement, he doesn't need us railing on his attempts to make lunch.

Thirteen years old enough?
Not even a little peck on the cheek?
Hey, I'll settle for the hug. How she chooses to display affection is, to a good degree, a function of her personality.
But I thought this was just a friend? Why would he need a romantic dinner for just a friend?
Not intended to be romantic, AS SUCH. Just a fun time, nice, relaxing, good food. And a show of my affection for her.
Which is not to say that I'd complain if it WAS romantic. Worse things could happen to me.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Okay, fine then. Removing the romantic context, it was still a very thoughtful and sweet thing to do.
Posted by EdipisReks (Member # 510) on :
not as thoughtful or sweet as Walter Cronkite..."oh that Walter, he's just dreamy!".
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Personally, I prefer Soledad O'Brien. I've dug her since her days on "The Kno Zone" on The Discovery Channel.
I hope this explains why I had zero social life in high school.

Well at least he got her to go somewhere with him. And if they had fun, goodo!
Applying the word 'sweet' to a guy....well....not a blokey thing to do.

Bah. Omega's as sweet as the pumpkin cake I'm going to baking with four beautiful women this Sunday. Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Impressive!! Sounds expensive too. Then Peanut butter and honey, which I love so much that I can't keep peanut butter and honey in the house at the same time, puzzles me, after going to that expense. Well done though!
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Actually, the dinner theatre was free. The guy who donated it to the university stipulated that students be able to use it when they need to. Little known, but useful, fact about DLU.
As for peanut butter and honey, well, she likes peanut butter and honey. Describes herself as being addicted, actually. It was a contrast thing. She walks in, sees the fancy glasses, the flowers, hears the music, sits down... then I break out the paper plates and plastic knives. The whole thing actually cost me less than $20, and I still had over a quart of ice cream left when I got home. Considering the effect was about as great as anything else I could have done, not a bad deal at all.
Posted by Nimpim (Member # 205) on :
I'm glad for you, Ω. In the words of my mentor, "I do so love it when a plan comes together".
You've taken another step towards vigorous teabaggin', friend.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
He's going to wipe his knob on her car?
Posted by Nimpim (Member # 205) on :
Does "teabaggin'" mean defiling your object of interest's possessions in England?
Posted by O Capped In Mic Capped In (Member # 709) on :
teabagging is when you wear a tight underwear setup so that your male genitalia package forms a round 'teabag' shape and you rub it against something, usu. another person. see: the movie Pecker.
for shame. next i suppose you'll be asking what a man-train is.
Posted by Yamashiro Den (Member # 510) on :
incorrect, Captain Mike. teabagging is where you dangle your testicles out of your pants, straddle someone, and move go up and down so that your testicles make a motion similar to a teabag being dunked into tea (often times with the testicles impacting the person underneath during the downward movement). hence the move being called "teabagging". the move you talked about is called "emotional insecurity" Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, as a sex act, it's dunking your balls in someone's mouth. But, as a drunken frat-boy act, it's just sticking them on the face of someone who's passed out. At least, those are the two ways I've heard the term used.
Omega: Plastic knives? You couldn't even cut her sandwich for her ahead of time? What a rip-off...
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I cut her sandwich in front of her, thank you very much. I needed the knives to cut the bananas and peanut butter.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Will you folks leave Omega alone? Jesus Fucking Christ. He tries to do something nice, and it's like a bunch of fucking jackals smelling blood.
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
Well, aside from the whole Lord's name spoken in vain part, I agree with Snay.....
And I still think that what Omega did was one of the sweetest things EVER Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
I am in the twilight zone.

I think Snay's there, too.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Oh, shut the hell up Mister "PLAY NICE"
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
I was simply commenting on the fact that you of all people are defending Omega with such vigor from people teasing him.
Posted by Mucus (Member # 24) on :
Although, it does bring up the interesting question of what he expected to happen when he started this thread.
Posted by Nimpim (Member # 205) on :
For once, I am in total agreement with myself.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
First he starts to like guns, now he defends Omeychops. Now at last we know what Nietzsche meant when he said "when Snay fights dragons for long enough, Snay becomes a dragon himself."
Posted by Ritten (Member # 417) on :
What have you two been discussing on ICQ anyway???
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I have no expectations. My actions are totally random.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
I have heard "teabagging" to mean a general wiping of your genitals on something. Teabagging someones car is the sort of dare that scamps get up to at university. Apparently.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Also...

Worst sex act ever. I'm ashamed of you Timothy.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Omega:
You have no right to comment on what "worst sex act" is, because, well ... right, never mind.
Voggy:
HARDLY! I'm first in line to beat Omega's skull in over some idiotic statement he makes based on his ill-informed biased viewpoint on politics. This not being one of those occasions, but rather a situation where Omega has tried to do something nice (thereby shedding his evil Republican lizard skin personality), I think we can all back off his idiotic self for a half a fucking minute, don't you?
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
You sound testy. I would offer to buy you a drink, but it wouldn't ship well.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Buy me a fucking plane ticket. I need more then one goddamn fucking beer to be less then fucking testy.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
If I could afford a planet ticket, I would probably buy a TV instead. I'm sorry.
Posted by Magnus de Pym (Member # 239) on :
You seemed to have gotten Omega confused with Liam a while back.
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
You know what, I'm going to buy an industrial size blender, throw you three in there, mix with Dos Eques, and have a really horrible drink as a result.
I'll call it, "SolOmMagnus-Eques"
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Om? That does not seem to quite fit.
Oh, wait, Omega. Because of the crosslinking. I see. I think?
Posted by Tora Ziyal (Member # 53) on :
You know, "Solommagnus" has a nice ring to it.
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
I think that Snay could use a vacation. Or a valium.
Posted by O Capped In Mic Capped In (Member # 709) on :
a valiumcation!
Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :
Might I suggest or ?
Posted by E. Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Not "or". "And".
Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :
Multiples of both would be very nice.
Omega: shut it, or it'll just be an "Omeques."
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Besides, Sol is saving for a ticket to the UK first. He is allowed to stay with me, unlike Snay who's just been far too floopy of late.

I'm hoping that telling us to be nice to Omega in a sentence where you insult him twice is just an example of the legendary Benson irony, but I doubt it somehow.
Posted by Solommagnus de Pym (Member # 239) on :
Perhaps his floopy is interfering with his irony.
