Chasing Cougars

I'm really stretching lately to have a good story. . . I think Mexican Standoff was my last interesting night, since then, it's been low key. And I have enjoyed that.

But last night, we had a very quick encounter that was quite hilarious. Or as Flirty said, this guy "hit [her] funny bone so hard."

We went to a local, monthly happy hour for downtown residents at a fairly swanky bar. This guy, who we have dubbed Cougar Chaser, had been present all evening. Did he talk to us much? No... Why? Because we don't qualify as Cougars.

He was cute enough, well dressed. Come to find out, he knew Sam Malone. While Sam was in the bathroom, the guy comes up to me and asks me to let Sam know where he is headed next. I tell him I will.

The laughable part about this guy was, he PUT HIS SUNGLASSES ON while in the bar. At night. As he was leaving. Now, I've put my shades on before exiting a building, but DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS! Not at night!!!! I also recognize that this is not a new thing, as I've seen people do this before. But I just don't understand at all why. It's just one of the more ridiculous thing that people do.

Do you think that we could resist saying something to him? Of course not! We delicately took a stab at him for wearing his shades in the bar at night.

We also informed him that he looked like Usher. Which he did! But his response was that Usher was shorter than him. I informed Cougar Chaser that he wasn't tall either.

He then made a couple other random comments, i.e. how he spends so much time in L.A. and NYC. Trying to be cool I guess???

He dropped his business card in front of me as he left. His name was followed with a "Sr." Now, that would not normally be odd. But this guy was YOUNG. Meaning, he has a baby and a baby's momma. Sweet.
