It was a hot date…that ended at 10:30? You said earlier that “I looked into finding an actual sports car but they are in short supply on Sunday nights”, so I assume the date was tonight.
I actually believe you went out with someone, maybe even to a Go-Kart track, but this movie in your mind is playing only at your own theater. For every person who believes you, there are 50 who know you’re a lying sack of shit.
Sack of shit maybe but lying no. I can show you the track if you want because it is online. I didn’t mention the Thai restaurant we went to afterwords because this isn’t Facebook. I ordered the “suicidal” version of the Seafood Madness and started crying and having a runny nose because it was one of the hottest things I have ever eaten. I don’t have the sense god gave a goose to tell you the truth and never have. It causes some strange outcomes. I always want to push the envelope to see what is possible. A comfortable upper middle-class life is my personal version of hell. That leads to odd successes and a whole bunch of spectacular failures. I don’t do that in my professional life because I know the rules and follow them but there really aren’t many in my personal life. I just do what sounds fun and see where it leads.
Okay. Show us a pic of the receipts.
Probably just as well – she’s been suspended from the boards for a few days.
If that is a real request. I can’t do that because they have lots of personal information on them including both of our real names and billing information.
I can show you the track. It isn’t cheap especially for 7 minutes of racing but it is great fun. You wouldn’t want to go longer than 7 minutes because the multi-level track is very fast and very similar to a video game except you can actually get injured or killed in real life. They do a good job with the training and protective equipment including helmets with visors and neck braces. It is just pure competitive adrenaline the entire time. Most 35 year old women won’t do that type of thing with me. This one loves it. That is why she is so attractive to me.
Gee, if only there was some way to block all the personal information out.
I, for one, am enjoying watching this one.

Are you happy now? It is was a great experience but it isn’t cheap just like none of my dates are because that was just the starter. I try to make sure that they all have something to remember even if it doesn’t work out. My current quasi-girlfriend happens to appreciate that type of thing and that means a lot to me. I will pay for stuff other people enjoy as long as they really want to do it.
Uh, no you fucking moron. That’s not the same as a pic.
Ok. I don’t think that was what was being requested, bit that’s what you consider " not cheap" ? The gokarting I’ve looked into- because it is fun and would be a great date night- had always cost more than 75 bucks.
Like I said, this thread is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book for grownups, written by John Irving.
LOL @ the seven minute date–the jokes just write themselves, don’t they?
It only lasts 7 minutes so you are looking at over $10 per minute and I think it was worth it but that is not cheap to the vast majority of the population. I can afford it just fine but you are starting to get into some serious money when you combine it with everything else. We went to dinner afterwards and I paid for that too plus some other things that add up. You are looking at $200 or more for 3 1/2 hours for someone that is practically already your girlfriend. I am not complaining. I am the one that came up with the whole plan and I got a personal reward at the end. Dates can be expensive and I get ticked off when there is no appreciation but she did. I think this one is worth it and that is why I do it but I am not going to let her bankrupt me. She is going to have to start paying her fair share at some point.
He’d probably just pull a picture of a receipt off of the internet.
Seriously, most people with the kind of money and prestige that Shags claims to have don’t need to brag about it every five seconds. You’d think he’d realize that. It’s like with Navy SEALS – you can spot the fakes because they’re constantly bragging about it.
It’s just bizarre to me that 75 bucks for an experience that was adrenaline pumping and fun is supposed to be some sort of brag, i guess. A former boss and friend of mine arranged a trip to paris for a girlfriend so they could greet the new year from the eiffel tower. He once tossed me his keys to his lambo and said if you can figure out how to start it, it’s yours. I drove his beemer on multiple occasions- even after that unfortunate incident the first time. He arranged am afternoon at the gokart track as a team building exercise for the corporate office… far more than7 minutes for more than 2 people.
Hell, our family outings cost more than 40 per person, and i am so not wealthy.
Yes, that’s not cheap to a lot of people but it’s hardly brag worthy. Not if you actually have any kind of real money.
It isn’t bragging. Most of my money is locked up in assets and trusts that I don’t have direct access to yet but I will in a few years. I live on (less than) my professional salary and anything that is left over belongs to my daughters. If I needed a new car tomorrow, I could get one with just a phone call but it doesn’t work that way for pay day to day expenses as well it should. I already own my younger brothers mansion in Arkansas because he didn’t understand that simple concept.
I consult for an extremely well know mega-corp. They spoil the crap out of me in many ways: expensive private boxes to sports events, a completely paid for iPhone, extravagant dinners (we ran up a tab close to $3000 on two of them in the past few weeks), Escape room excursions and lots more. I understand all of that completely and I am extremely thankful for it.
However, $200 still represents a significant amount of personal money to me right now and it probably always will. That is two Benjamins and something I had to work a long time for when I was in high school. I can bill for a little less an hour than that now but I still think it is a lot of money. At the very least, think of what someone in the 3rd world would think of that. I am not a big fan of spending money in general without a clearly defined return and I only work on a cash basis. I still have plenty of cash but I want to see the balance grow and not start falling. That sends me into a panic even though there is no immediate threat.
Just shut up. Why can’t you stop?
And yet… you mentioned… twice… how " not cheap" that date night was.
Eta- i believe you mentioned before how you spoil your chosen females and treat them like princesses. Good luck with that if your breaking point is less than 200 an evening.
I didn’t make myself clear. Tonight was money well spent and there will be more unlike some others. My point is that I can’t keep doing that several times a week. It just gets too expensive to spend $200 or so dollars a night going out. I have college expenses coming up for my daughters in not that long as well.
I can tell you the problem with rich girls because I was with one for 17 years. They will bankrupt you without even realizing it because their expectations are so high. It isn’t their fault. It is just what they are used to. My daughters are being raised as spoiled rich girls as well as are most of their friends. Fathers, boyfriends and husbands end up sacrificing themselves so that they can keep up the lifestyle to support them and it ends up destroying them. I have seen it happen countless times.
The gokart date has me thinking about colanders. You know he has at least two.
