While Waiting at a Stop Light...

[kybearfuzz]

Yesterday on the drive home from the gym, I saw a bumper sticker on a small car:

"Thespians Do It On Stage"

In my mind, I had to add... "but they fake it..."

There is an odd little game I play when I'm alone in my car sitting at a stop light. As the cars go by, I look at the driver and play "Yes... No... Maybe..." In this game, I see the drivers as they drive by and say "Yes" if I'd go for them (read whatever you want into this -- date, kiss, shag, etc.), "No" if I wouldn't, and "Maybe" if I felt I needed more than a few seconds glanzing to make the call.

In some cases, depending on mood, the game might become a bit more emphatic. A hot bear in a pickup truck might get a "Oh hell yeah!" while a toupeed guy in a Ford Pinto might illicit a "dear god no...!"

There are also times when the stoplight is nothing but soccer mom vans and little old ladies driving enormous land-roving vehicles. Slow moments at the stop lights, to be sure. The wheels in mind spin in odd ways, it goes back to the days when I was left to occupy myself without getting into trouble. This stop light game came from this and I find it generally passes the time.

Oh, and the guy with the bumper sticker? He was a no.

Thespians may "fake it", but we rehearse a lot!!

I play that Yes, No, Maybe game too, but do it all the time, not just while stopped at a light.

LOL... I could also say that thespians are "all play!"

Oh I play "Yes... No... Maybe..." like that too, but usually only vocalize it when I'm the car alone.

I don't think I've ever played that game before, but now I think I might have to. Thanks for the tip!!!

It's a fleeting game, you only get a second or two per car, but the time at the light passes so much quicker.

When I worked in Midtown a few years ago, I used to walk around a lot at lunch and there were many more hotties there than downtown where I am now. I used to play the same game, though I had a more elaborate ranking system. I don't remember all of it now, but it ranged from "HELL no!", through "ewwwwww", to "okay", "doable", "hot", and "OMG I WANT HIM" among many others *g*

LOL... my brother used to do this sort of thing in my presence, granted in regards to girls with big hooters. I'd love to have this same sort of conversation in his presence in regards to guys. It's fun with my sister, but the twin would be mortified.

And I do a similar game when walking on the treadmill overlooking the weight area at the gym. Oh... the things I've seen...

I usually say, "I'd hit that."

What worries me is the "pirate" icon heading this entry.

Are you planning to pillage and plunder? Ravage the women, and rape the village?

You are not alone
