Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
erin_o, if that were my prospective date, I'd be all over him (or at least his choice of locations). Of course, I love ice cream, and ice cream loves me back. I do not think his choice is irrational. However, you should definitely counter with a choice that makes you happier. I'm sure there has to be somewhere in Portland that you both will, if not love, at least not hate.
It won't be rude. But turning down ice cream, well, that's blasphemy in my book.

I met someone from OKC at my local ice cream shop, mostly because the people at the shop all know me by name (yes, really!) so I figured that was a good, safe spot. I don't think your prospective date would be unhappy with an alternative, especially with an intolerance for dairy.
Texas state fair announced we will have fried beer and fried margaritas this year (as well as fried frito pie). Blech.
If he is, you can weed him out.
Fried beer? Fried margaritas? WTF?
I've had fish fried in beer batter, so I can sort of get the idea of fried beer. But fried margaritas are beyond me.

Huh. Trademarked, even.
