The Ron Thread

Another Ron I knew in high school sat behind me in Geometry class. The only thing we had in common was a certain appreciation of the album On Through the Night vis-à-vis Def Leppard’s later work.

Anyway, a year after geometry, my junior year, his senior, Ron caught up with me one day as I was heading out to my car. Shooting the breeze, he asked me what I had going on. Having recently set my heart on my first choice college, I mentioned that I was driving up to the campus that weekend to visit the bookstore and pick up a sticker for my car, a front license plate, and other “paraphernalia.”

He looked at me, aghast.

“Man, I had no idea,” he semi-whispered, “that you got high.”

  • I think it was to him I first pointed out the irony of Pete Willis’ demise from that band: Def Leppard kicked someone out for drinking too much? What else was wrong with him, was he too fond of having sex with teenage groupies?

Bawdy librarian?

more right than you know - but I’ve been told it’s in bad taste to talk about it.

Surely a female Ron is a Ronette.

And I second calling a group of Ron-duhs a gosh.

I wish I lived on the number one street in the city.

On second thought, I should probably be thanking the gods every single night that I don’t!

Ron is clearly the Greatest Boyfriend Ever! :smiley:

I was madly infatuated with a Ron in high school. He broke my heart when he transferred to another school at the end of gr 10.

And then, two years later, he showed up for my high school graduation. Damned if I know why… maybe he had some friends who were graduating, or maybe he just showed up to recapture his glory days.

He figured maybe we could re-kindle the flame, so to speak. I mean, he was a big-time career guy, managing a store full-time and making all kinds of cash, dressing up for work in a shirt and tie like a proper businessman. Clearly, this should be enough to make my 18-yr-old self weak at the knees.

In fact, he said, I should feel free to come by his store anytime and make all the photocopies I want. On the house. Coz he’s a good guy like that. (This, of course, was preceded by posing with his thumbs tucked into his belt-loops and puffing out his chest for maximum effect)

There are no words to express how flattered I was by that generous offer, except… well… “Ron, have you been introduced to my boyfriend yet?”

If you don’t mind telling us, Mel, what happened to your sister? I lost my sister 18 years ago, so I understand if you don’t want to say. I’m just curious.

Well, I don’t wanna be a downer on the thread. That would be kinda counter-productive.

And you let him get away? My Og woman - madness, madness I tell you! He’s clearly a keeper!!

How about “a dupe of Ron-duhs?”

A live action Ron! (starting at 5.10)

(Joe Junior from the Sandra Bullock movie “while you were sleeping”.)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhh! Good catch!
I haven’t seen While you were sleeping in years and just lurved it.

Today’s Contribution:

So, given some of my previous encounters with Ron, I was more than dismayed when my sister announced that they had recently had a pregnancy test done. I tried to point out the facts as plainly as I could and convince her that this might not be the best idea right now.

My sister agreed but confessed that they did not use condoms and in fact had never used a condom. I immediately offered to rectify this situation. I picked up my sister and we made our way to CVS. My sister stood in the condom aisle with a blank look on her face.

“How do I know what to get?”

A horrible image flashed before my eyes - I was involuntarily picturing Ron naked! I threw up a little in my mouth and had to swallow it back down to ask, “Well, umm, is Ron a, uh, eww, uh big guy? or a little guy?”

My sister then told me that he wore a size large shirt.

“That’s not what I mean. Does Ron (wince) have a big member or a little member?”

“Oh!” my sister said. “Ron has no problem in that area. He’s quite large. In fact, his other girlfriends often tell him that he’s the biggest they’ve ever had.”

At this time, the gag reflux was in full throttle so I just grabbed a box of magnums and hurried her to the checkout counter.

After awkwardly explaining to my little sister different ways to apply a condom (after all - this is my LITTLE sister!!) I sent her on her way - trying unsuccessfully to banish the image of her and Ron getting it on.

I woke up screaming several times that night.

A few days later, my sister called and I asked her how it went.

“Well, we had problems getting it on.” she confessed.

“Why?” I asked. “Did it still not fit?”

“No,” she answered. “It didn’t fit right at all!”

I cringed at the thought of having to research extra-large condoms for a man who already made my skin crawl.

“Every time he put it on,” she said. “The darn things just fell right off! No matter how big we tried to make him - they were just too loose!”

OK, knowing what you did about Ron, how could you not know how little truth there would be to this?

I knew EXACTLY how this story was going to end from this point on.

nevertheless - i hope you laughed :slight_smile:

Seconded. Classic Type A Ron Identification Marker: Condom size is inversely proportional to the number of women he claims told him how big he is. Unfortunately I’m not sure there are any condom companies that make any small enough to fit a “biggest my girlfriends have ever had.” Perhaps they should create a Ron-sized condom.

By the way, is it wrong that I’m picturing the sister in these stories as every character Anna Faris has ever played?

If that makes the stories better, than that works :slight_smile: I won’t tell you my sister was a brunette.

That’s okay, I wasn’t picturing Anna Faris per se, just a similar sort of starry-eyed vacuousness and naiveté that is utterly oblivious to the situation she is in both due to her youth, lack of experience, and the fact that she’s ridiculously taken with Ron and can’t see what everyone else does.

Yes, Anna Faris’ characters would definitely be a Ron-duh, as was my sister.

Another Ron-duh would be Britney Spears when she was with K-Fed.
