I just finished watching How I Met Your Mother. Is brunch really a couple thing? I always thought of it as a group thing, at least in NY.
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Speaking of cool computer things, the winner of the Stephen Colbert Green Screen Challenge tells her story and posts a picture of her "gifts" (because it wasn't a contest, so there was no prize). Very fun reading about that episode from her POV, and I loved her son's reaction to her win ("OH MY GOD OH MY GOD").

I think of brunch as a group thing. Or a wake up with a hangover the next morning thing.
But it was still hilarious. "I don't care how he looks, tell me he looks fat."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's definitely a girl thing, is what I thought the best point was.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's arguably a post Saturday night date thing, at least for some.

But it was still hilarious. "I don't care how he looks, tell me he looks fat."Both storylines were great, and I loved Lily and Barney together. The brunch things just took me out of it for a bit. I just figured maybe it was an LA thing.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.
Hmmm. . . I've always done brunch with either a large group of friends or with an SO but never really with just one friend, particularly someone who could be construed as a SO.

Brunch is primarily a group thing in my world. Often after a night of boozing and carousing, you get together for some grease and caffeine. I suppose that I have had brunch with a man, but never thought of it as a "thing". I can't remember going to brunch alone, though, and I am a person who doesn't mind eating alone. Probably because if I am alone on a Sunday, I don't feel like changing out of my jammies, much less leaving the house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's breakfast and there's brunch. With brunch I need mimosas, or at least the opportunity thereof. I've done it solo and with one or more friends, never with an SO.
Breakfast I've done with all of the above, SO included. Alcohol definitely not included, and can tend to the greasier of spoons.
I can't imagine guys going to brunch together or alone, although I doubt they'd fight going with chicks.
