I would bet that she accused him of acting like this character after one little thing and he decided to go with it for the rest of the night just to irritate her. I think she was the one who had just read Catcher in the Rye and wanted to reference it, so she grabbed on to the first thing. She sounds like a bitch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-28941263248627526702011-12-13T00:03:57.397-05:002011-12-13T00:03:57.397-05:00Yeah this would have flown right over my head, I&#...Yeah this would have flown right over my head, I've never read Catcher in the Rye XD I would have thought he was trying to be a cool beatnik or something. Sigh. I'm so un-literatured.<br /><br />This makes me think of guys like Sherman in American Pie who cling so hard to one shtick for picking up women. But according to those movies Sherman still found his lobster who thought his act was charming, so there's hope for Holden Caulfield yet.Lime Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846322419917685582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-31185074921725090982011-12-12T13:48:27.171-05:002011-12-12T13:48:27.171-05:00I think she was on a date with Mark David Chapman....I think she was on a date with Mark David Chapman.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006670481273373314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-68847105171703362142011-12-12T13:40:59.427-05:002011-12-12T13:40:59.427-05:00Not all bad dates may be dares or pranks, but this...Not all bad dates may be dares or pranks, but this one?

They start by playing a good joke (which is funny for about the first 12 minutes) but don't know when to quit because they suffer from the delusion that the joke just keeps getting funnier over time. And as for the OP, did you really have to spend the ENTIRE evening on this date? Couldn't you have just tazed him in the nuts at the halfway point? If you don't practice aversion therapy on socially retarded people like this, they'll never learn to improve themselves! (Plus, Holden Caulfield was really a bit of a whiner and I think it would be very gratifying to taze a flesh-and-blood representation of him.) ;-)wolfdreams01https://www.blogger.com/profile/17132744227210305134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-1391746776875212002011-12-12T13:00:11.961-05:002011-12-12T13:00:11.961-05:00Geez, everyone always calls "dare" or &q...Geez, everyone always calls "dare" or "prank" around here. I really don't believe that many people are going out on dates just to mess with other people.
