Toe Sucker?

Before I tell you the story relating to this blog's title, I want to invite you to read my book review on Lamb, by Christopher Moore; you can find it here.  Now, onto story time.

My mother has been trying her hand at Match.com dating.  She met this guy on the site, talked to him on the phone a few times, and just really hit it off with him.  So naturally they decided to meet up in person.  They had an early dinner at Rio Grande, a neat little restaurant in our town.  And in her words, the bullshit just started pouring out of TS's mouth.  The stories he told were not only unbelievable, but my mother said had these things happened to her, she doesn't know that she'd ever tell anyone, let alone tell someone on a first date.

Mom, being the nice woman that she is, decided not to let things deter their date, perhaps he was just nervous and trying to overcompensate, so they went to his truck to talk.  On the phone before they had discussed reflexology, pressure points, and massage therapy.  So when TS told my mother that he could show her something about her big toe that she didn't know, she assumed it was along those lines.  "Tell me what it is." she said to him.  "No, I have to show you for you to fully understand." was TS's reply.  So mom took off her flip flop and handed the unsuspecting foot to TS.  At this point TS grabs her foot with both hands, pops her big toe in his mouth and starts to suck away.  My mother screams at this point, tells TS he's nasty, shoves her flip-flop on her foot, and bolts out of his truck.

Needless to say, there was no second date.

In my opinion first impressions count.  TS definitely did not make one.  What are your thoughts?

So it poured, I mean POURED

Me and, well lets call him The Boy, went out last night.  We had originally planned on going to Red Hill General Store and watching the free drive in movie that they were going to play (it was a John Wayne flick) but it looked like rain, so we headed down the mountain to enjoy ourselves in Mayberry.  Well, seriously, Mayberry was packed, we wanted to eat at this snazzy little Italian restaurant called Gondola's.  But we couldn't even get in the parking lot.  So we ate at Kyoto's By the Lake instead.  I often wonder about the name of that place as there is no lake there, but while we were eating, it started to rain.

Now, when I say it started to rain, I mean it was as if the heaven's had ripped open and just decided to dump an entire ocean upon our heads.  When we went to leave Kyoto's I understood the By the Lake part, the parking lot, was almost a literal lake after all this rain.  Flip-flop's were a BAD idea.  So The Boy was very chivalrous and got the car and pulled it around so I wouldn't get completely soaked (awww).  Then we headed off to the movies....

....only to find that our movie wasn't going to play until 10:00 which was just too late for us.  So, we went to Game Stop and The Boy spoiled me with a game for my DSi which is sweet and not fair at the same time, as he is borrowing my DSi at the moment, and now I have a game but no console.  *pouts*  But I am looking forward to playing Professor Layton when I get a chance.

Then we went and saw "Leigha" at the local Movie Rental place down there, and I discovered that they now have books too.  And we know that I have a weakness for books, so now I own an interesting Mary Poppins book (love love love Mary Poppins) and I got it for a good price.  Which always makes me smile.  The Boy bought 5 movies for $20.  And we got some popcorn, came home, and watched 2 of said 5 movies.  Sunshine Cleaners & The Goods.  Both wonderful movies, I recommend them highly.
