Joined: November 2005 Posts: 1126 Location: Omaha, NE | Ok, I'm at Barnes and Noble buying a copy of Acoustic Guitar. The clerk is very good looking, maybe mid thirties. She has that "book store" pseudo intellectual look to her. Very nice. The conversation goes like this: Me (handing her my purchases) : "All set" Hottie Book Store Fantasy Babe : "Going to play some guitar, huh?" Me : "Well, something like that" HBSFB : "Are you a professional?" Me: "No, I gave up on making a living playing guitar 20 years ago" HBSFB : "Well, you still look like a musician" Ok, I'm not sure if that was a compliment or not, but I'll take it. The HBSFB at Barnes and Noble thinks I "look like a musician"! That's good enough for me. Jeff | ||

Performing Songwriter Magazine? You DID? Well then, it sounds like you just need to get yourself BACK over there.... :) Your experience really made me laugh though, because today, I was at my Barnes and Noble, and while i was browsing guitar mags ( and i also bought Acoustic Guitar), a guy started talking to me, asking me if I played guitar and yada yada yada... did I teach lessons.... haha... but he wasn't really a hottie :( I was glad when my husband came over ;) Susan | ||

You probably spend your time going around to grade schools telling the second graders that there is no Santa Clause. Cheers! Jeff | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 1421 Location: Orange County, California | Don't you guys know that the only thing more pathetic than the "Pseudo inteletual" bookstore Not-Hot employee hitting on you (badly), is YOU taking it as a compliment. Omaha-Jeff; thanks you for being merciful to her, and remeber you could have easily pulled off the "I'm too stuck up to be nice to you beacause I AM still a musician" easily. She would have been star struck for days... :D :p Susan, you shouldn't be allowed out in public without your husband (or at least a hugely obvious DIAMOND on your finger). Talent and wit together is a powerful aphrodisiac to the young, naive, Probably nerdy if not cute, boostore clerk. :eek: :D Hubba-Hubba, Whoo-Hoo!! :D :eek: Corparations like Barnes and Noble, and Borders spend millions to train their staff to be "friendly". It makes people come back later to buy the magazines they "forgot" earlier. The only thing they don't usually make small talk about at the counter is porn, and Bibles. :rolleyes: | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12750 Location: Boise, Idaho | Sorry, Omaha. My ego got deflated a long time ago and I've been trying to do it to everyone else since. I've heard that hot chicks actually do like middle aged, overweight, bald guys, especially if they play guitars. Feel better? | ||

Their song She Want Me (to go away) http://www.bowserandblue.com/album2.htm captures the truth of the moment witheringly. (no, I'm just a fan. But thanks for asking. ;) ) | ||
