I shot the sherrif So I went to a Halloween party on Saturday night dressed as a sherrif. There was another girl sherrif there, but I shot her;-) I spent some time talking to the only single cute guy there (he was dressed as a satyr), but he turned out to be a dick. When I was leaving and making my way across the dance floor, jacket in hand, to say goodbye to my hostess, he came straight up to me and slam danced into me. I slammed him back with somewhat more force. Given the amount of crap I've taken from men recently, there was an elegant and satisfactory symbolism in my getting to belt a satyr halfway across the dance floor.

was there at least some slam-dance appropriate music playing?

Uh, I think it was Bon Jovi.

For that alone, he deserved to be hit.

(was the slam dancing an inept pass, drunken stumbling or simply boorishness? If we're going anoint this guy a symbol of All That Is Evil, we should be sure)

So being slammed into as you leave a party is not the best way of making a good impression.

Noted.

It was deliberate — beeline dance/strut towards me, eye contact.

Then he was a dick. You shoulda pistolwhipped him.

But did you shoot the deputy?

Next time, drop to one knee and straight punch him square in the balls. Unless you're 12 and he doesn't know how to express interest without physical attacks but I don't see that as being the case.

I'm curious as to what he thought he was going to accomplish by bashing you with his body?

jonmc, he might have enjoyed the pistol whipping.

Wasn't any such there. I did, however, shoot several escaped convicts. And people asked me where my handcuffs were.

Did you tell them you left them attached to your bedpost? I think that's the only reasonable answer to that question.

You also could have said about the handcuffs that the fur clashed with your outfit. I hope you're writing all these dating and single life stories down. It would make a good book.

What a dick! He's lucky you didn't give him a swift kick in the shins.

"drop to one knee and straight punch him square in the balls"

Now there's a picture. A satyr stumbling around holding his crotch and wearing that I just got punched in the nuts grimace.

BTW OS, you make a damn cute sheriff.

posted by mischief 30 October | 15:16

What a complete assclown! I hope he's still in pain.

Next time, break out the karate skillz.

Hey, you gotta practice on something.
