The supermarket

[J_V]

I'm trying to figure out if any guy in the history of the world has managed to meet a girl at the supermarket.

I was doing some shopping and I found the idea pretty funny. First off, no straight guy "strolls" through the market. I have a list. BBQ sauce, beer, brats, steaks, and A1. I know where it all is and if it takes more than 8 minutes, someone F***ed up. There's problem number one.

However were I to see Jessica Alba fondling a bunch of green bananas, what would I say. What would I do? Ram her w/ my grocery cart? Or do I slide in and say, "Hey Jess, I'm no expert, but waiting a day or two on those bananas might be a good idea. I've found they taste best when yellow."

Let's say I were to land that ZINGER. How do I go from grocery expertise to going out w/ her next Saturday. Seems like an impossible leap even for you twoplustwo studs.

Well, check that, maybe a young AndyFox could pull it off.

Anyone pull it off?

i've done it once, just a number, but i can't for the life of me remember anything about it except the specific grocery store and the fact that it was in the soup aisle.

Here's Glenn's take.

ClWhirly: supermarket?
ClWhirly: come on bro
ClWhirly: childs play
OneputtJV: please
ClWhirly: just hang out by the home pregnancy tests
ClWhirly: you know they put out
ClWhirly: and if a girl is stroking some bananas
ClWhirly: say "can i video tape you doing that and sell it on the internet"
ClWhirly: either she'll think your funny or she'll kick you in the nuts
ClWhirly: either way she touches your genitals though


He gives seminars too.

I couldn't pull off a pickup at a whorehouse, but wouldn't you just try and start the same random, irrelevant conversation that you would anywhere else?

I'm disheartened to learn that straight guys always have a list when going through the store. I need to do some serious self-analysis /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've heard stories that the Marina Safeway was THE pickup spot on something like Tuesday nights in San Francisco in the 70s.

I order my groceries online via FreshDirect (http://www.freshdirect.com). There is clearly some symbolism there as it relates to this discussion.

[sfer]

I heard you use FreshDirect because you kept getting lost in the supermarket.

Bah-dumb-bump.

I've heard the Marina Safeway is still a meat market. I think singles night is Thursday though. I have no first hand experience.

I can no longer shop happily.

In other me/Clash related news, I am getting a tattoo on Saturday based on the on the cover of London Calling (see my avatar) here (http://www.inkstoptattoonyc.com/).

Seriously. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Cool. You can walk 2 blocks to Hi-Fi afterward and monopolize the jukebox by playing every album, start to finish.

How about delivering a pizza? 19 years seems so long ago............

Where can I rent one?

People say dogs work the same way. They are easier than kids too.

It's sort've like going out w/ your girlfriend somewhere. Seems like you could get any girl in the joint. Go back alone, and you're just another schmuck. [censored] broads.

I've never picked up anyone from a supermarket... But, I've definitely seen it happen. So, I'm with a buddy of mine at Costco, and this pretty fine older lady is behind us in line. My buddy said something semi-funny to me (can't remember what any more). The lady laughs a bit, and so he strikes up a conversation, etc. Next thing you know, we finish our checking out, and they're still jabbering. I walk to the car with stuff, and he shows up with her number. They went out a few times, but nothing ever really became of it.

So, in short... YES, it does happen.

That guy in "Animal House" picked up the woman stroking the cucumber. Oh, wait, you're talking real life, never mind.

It's currently a bloody, irritated mess, but here's a picture of the aforementioned tattoo.

The redness/purpleness is a result of blood and irritated skin and will (hopefully) go away relatively soon. It should (again, hopefully) heal up quite nicely.

PS-Note that I took the picture in a mirror, hence the "backwardness."

EDIT-The picture is no longer backwards.

That looks...painful.

It wasn't that bad. It felt like...a sharp needle puncturing my flesh several thousand times per minute.

Don't worry about it, lists are for anal-retentive pussies.

that tattoo is awesome, love it.

It's more of a mental list, but I'm afraid Michael goes to the grocery store to "shop."
