I faked my own heroic death once for this really cute girl, but then I actually got killed, which ruined the whole rest of the evening. Boy, was I bummed!
Instead of a zombie thread, we have a zombie in a thread. PANIC!!! :eek:
I got that much, just found it odd that they’d apply the “no punishment because you were honest” rule to a criminal (?) act by an adult, as though it were a kid who’d 'fessed up to raiding the cookie jar.
Wow, I guess I am not in line with most humans on this but why wasn’t she impressed?
Ladies, why wouldn’t you be impressed if a guy did this? I would be and I’m not even dating him.
wasnt there a thread a month or so ago with a similar story - except that the would be attackers were beaten up pretty badly - it was not an ‘impress the date’ situation, but a x-wife trying to get the x-husband to leave an apartment?
THe attackees were charged if memory serves - somehting about bringing a fake knife to a gun fight - or maybe a fake gun to a knife fight.
I think it indicates both an extreme insecurity and the possibility that he might live his whole life in a complete fantasy-world. IOW, psycho alert!
I would have loved to see the look on their faces when she ran off.
It could have been worse. There was that incident a while ago where a woman tried to scare her husband with a fake attack, and he killed the attacker. What if she’d whipped out a gun from her purse and opened fire? Oops.
Sorry, I meant that if the woman thought the attack was real. I read the responses in this thread as if people thought the attack was real and unimpressed. Of course even I’m unimpressed by a failed attack, as it shows deception and recklessness. But would you, and other women of the Dope, be impressed if your date had fought off a mugger you thought was real? I would, and so I understand the impulse to stage this attack even though it backfired
this was a plot in a movie. A cop sets up a knife attack to look good in front of a TV camera. You should get royalties.
“It looks like a penis, only smaller.”
OMG, I love this suggestion. I take it this would be in a restaurant with booth seating? 
Ohhhh, that makes more sense, duh!
Yeah, I’d be pretty impressed, no doubt.
Go petal your ideas someplace else.
And he has friends in the legal profession.
Thats the one I was thinking of -
If you don’t mind looking like a pansy…
How would “Bricker” relate to my fifth-grade self heroically saving a gorgeous sixth-grader from a horrible attack by some creep? (Or, in the alternative, merely fantasizing about saving her and then dreaming up a scenario in which i could guarantee its happening by recruiting the attacker ahead of time and rehearsing the whole thing?)
You hit him with a brick.
Yep.
Back in the bad old days of stupid fraternity initiations, a story from Cornell claimed that a pledge had to do this to a girl in the middle of the university library. According to the legend, the girl glanced over her shoulder and said “Looks like a penis. Only smaller.”
