If you and I had dated then split up and one night I showed up at your house
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 09:49 AM by arcadian
With a boom box hoisted over my head playing loud music at 4 o'clock in the morning wearing a trenchcoat. What would your reaction be? What would you do?

5. That depends
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 10:08 AM by redqueen
whether you were nice or an asshole. If the person's an asshole, I'd call the police. Nice... ask you to be considerate and turn it off.

6. I'd wonder how much vodka it had taken me to date you in the first place,
how long it lasted, and how far we went. Then I'd pull a pillow over my head and try sleep off my hangover.

You've heard of them, right?

19. It depends on why the relationship ended
If it was because you were a weird stalker-type who was smothering me, I might shoot you.

21. What if it ended because you were moving to England
and I had a massive inferiority complex and couldn't deal with you being smarter than me.

and invite you in for some tea and a talk.

25. Can you think of a better time to rock out to 'Run to the Hills'?
Whilst drunk and stoned. I think not. Oh yeah, and some of my rockin' brethren are there as well.

29. I'd do what I always do when my ex's do that to me.
Invite you in for cawfee, make up with you, date for another week, break up again, and wait for you to show up with a boom box outside my window.

Oh, wait, I'm married now. Nevermind.

31. Odds are it wouldn't even wake me up.
I'm a very heavy sleeper when I have my fan on, and I have my fan on every night because I'm addicted to white noise.

32. In these parts...
you'd best run.

The neighbor, Joe, has a .45-cal Colt 1910 single-action Army...and as long as he drags what's left of you onto the porch afterward and claimed you were messin' with the transmission in the bathtub in the yard, no questions would be asked when the resident state trooper showed-up after breakfast. If the coroner has only a light morning of spaying and neutering to attend to, you might be off the property by sunset.

Alternately, Joe might start singing along. That would be far far worse for you.

33. I have mother fucking acid coursing through my veins.
Real kind, not hippy psychedelic kind. So, I think I would take you, your coroner, Joe and what ever else your backwoods folk wisdom could throw at me. Think, First Blood. The cool one, not II or III, though they were pretty good. No, the first one, I'm Stallone and your David Caruso.

34. I don't know...you've never heard Joe sing.
He was fixin' his car one day and singing along to the radio...suddenly being waterboarded seemed like a relaxin' way to pass an afternoon. Even his cat was lookin' at him and thinking what the fuck is that godawful sound.

(The humor here is that I don't live in the backwoods...I live in a lovely suburb in CT in one of the wealthiest towns in the US...and everybody has a mullet and a hemi in their pickup truck and listens to country music like an American should when they drive to the Starbucks to get their coffee on their way to yoga. It's an episode of the Twilight Zone is what it is.)

39. First Blood was filmed in Westport or Greenwich wasn't it?
If it wasn't, it should have been. :D

35. What do you have on UNDER that trench coat and what music is playing?
That might have a lot to do with how I reacted. With the right wardrobe there could be an empty inflatable kiddie pool, a gallon of olive oil and some old fashioned "wrasslin" in your future.

If you are playing the soundtrack from Mama Mia, then I don't care what you have on under that trench I am probably gonna open fire.

A girl has got to have SOME standards.

38. Did I dump YOU?
If so, stay away from my house, Stalker.

If you made a grave mistake and are now
theatrically pleading for my forgiveness
in a potentially publicly humiliating
way....

make sure it's raining, too.

41. Finally, a real answer.
Thank you, :hug: After I accepted your pen, I'd give you the collage I made of you with hair I collected from your hair brush.
