The Pusan Perimeter is a rather famous event in my former life, but it just seemed too easy.

Yeah, crossing the Pusan perimeter is a famous event in all of our former lives.

Yeah, sorry I don't have anything more useful.

I'm sure you'll get your Saxon in Germany, though.

And if you continue to strike out with the ladies there, maybe it's time to consider switching to Mannheim.

I had to ship something to Pusan a few years ago. It wasn't made of grass, though.

You know, most of the German soccer players on the American team (fathers were US Servicemen) seem to have black fathers. You may be on to something there.

Which is why I am dreading this whole dating thing to begin with. I wish I could be Mr. Out on a Date with a Different Girl Every Weekend, but I'm not, never have been. I get too involved and am unable to let things slide off.
Go out again, just make it clear you are having fun, but not looking for a relationship. Either she'll bail or you can be guilt-free.

I'd be a terrible dater. If my wife ever got tired of me, I'd end up a hermit.(but I'd have good toys.)

Same for me as well. I'd probably move to a cabin and start writing manifestos.

Most, if not all, of the locations in that little film were on the campus of UCSB. Gaucho gals are a special kind of intuitive, i guess.

Manifestos are my future. I'm currently wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the hood over my head. I just need some sunglasses and I'll be a manifesto writing machine.

This is a much better technique. Some of these girls seem like they kind of like the idea.

There would be no mailbox at the cabin.

Just be sure to know if you plan on using the phrase "left me speechless" or not when making follow-up contact.

I don't know. The panhandling/manipulating/lying part seems like it would be a dealbreaker for most chicks.

What those videos fail to call much attention to is that the dudes are all fairly good-looking. That's always the best first step in picking up chicks - be good looking.

I watched that video afterward. Honestly, I read about that years ago in either The Game or saw it on a Double Your Dating seminar. It's funny in a "gotcha!" type of way. Though I'm sure you could get a date or 2 because of creativity.

Yeah, I was going to comment on that, but Johnnie is is doing Crossfit! Those twigs got nothing on him! I also think it's a lot easier on a college campus, being a closed environment and all. Pull that shot on a public street somewhere, it may not play as well. Then again, pull it off with confidence (as a good looking guy), and it will work some of the time. Do it in a creepy way, hell, it'll still work some of the time. Who am I kidding. Keep swinging, no matter how lamely, and you are going to get some hits.

That's it. Number of hits. Not batting average. As my long-single brother used to say, "I'm not looking for Miss Right. I'm looking for Miss Right Now!"

My crazy bitch of an ex-gf had the gall to call me the other day completely out of the blue (we hadn't previously talked for five years) in order to request some free medical advice from my wife.

Dave, if you're taking requests, please feel free to also take her out in your yacht the next time you are back in the Pacific Northwest.

No, but my wife is. She wanted me to solicit medical advice from my wife on her behalf. More than just advice even, she was practically asking for a medical opinion.

"My wife said that all STD symptoms show up immediately and there is no such thing as an incubation period. Therefore, the syphillis that you recently found out about definitely didn't come from me.

What's that? You haven't had unprotected sexual intercourse with anybody since our break-up sex in 2007? Hmmm... well, in that case she also told me that syphillis is commonly contracted through toilet seats."

No, no, the labels are misprints. It's perfectly safe to take 20 Tylenol at once if the pain is that bad.

I was expecting better. They think you're a deaf-mute or something. Anyway, I had usually tried to have intercourse with women, not call them and talk about fashion or whatever.
