While on vacation this week, I had the great pleasure of meeting Skümmet here in my incredibly boring town!
What was a really cute, very tall, wonderfully sweet and intelligent Danish boy doing wasting away in the oppressive Bible Belt? Well, not a whole lot! But he did get to hang out with me for a little while–what could be cooler than that? (I’m sure he enjoyed getting to see his girlfriend, too but I’m certain that I was the highlight of his trip!)
For our Dopefest, we did the only thing you can really do around these parts–we went out to dinner. I had promised him a really good cheeseburger. The only problem was that instead of meeting during the day, we actually met for dinner and the place I wanted to take him gets really scary once the sun goes down. It isn’t the nicest (or cleanest, or friendliest, or sanitary…) place in town but they do serve amazing burgers.
So, we had a choice. We could go to the original place where we would get great burgers and really enjoy them but where there is a very real chance that we might have to fight to get out OR we could go to a clean, well-lit, family-type restaurant for a really good burger where we could pretty much be assured of not catching typhoid or getting hit in the face with a flying beer bottle. It was a hard decision but eventually we decided to go for the non-lethal, mostly sanitary restaurant. The food was good and we could actually have conversation without fear.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen family/automobile difficulties, I had to cut our meeting short. I really wish we had gotten to spend more time together. He is really cool and he barely has an accent at all! Did I mention that he is very tall? And that’s not even counting where his hair was spiked up! I really hope that he can make it back here to see his girl more often so I will get more chances to hang out with him!
Since he doesn’t post nearly as often as I do, he probably won’t even get to see this for weeks. So, if you stop by to read it, try to give it at least a little bump so it stays somewhere he might eventually see it!
Yes, it was. I realize that that little fact is the greatest reason for no other responses! However, people are always lining up around here to have voyeuristic Dopefest experiences! Why not mine?
Really?! You were going to go to the Anchor Bar & Grill in Superior, Wisconsin, where their motto is “The only thing greasier than the burger is the person making it.”?! Let me know next time.
How small is the town? I mean, is everyone going to gossiping about you having dinner with a tall and good looking stranger? Do you want me to start some rumors? =)
Glad to hear y’all got to meet. Hopefully next time you’ll have a little more time to visit.
Why yes, yes it would. Why?
Sorry, tater! We didn’t really know when we were going to meet! We will definitely call next time! Grace, the town isn’t that small. There are just over 55,000 people–it’s not Mayberry! Besides, my hubby was with us!
RTFirefly–Yeah, sure! That’s what Satan said about our Knoxville pics too! Apparently, I am just too hideous to be photographed!
