'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've seen the one in Groundhog Day about... let's see, seen the movie probably thirty times, with what, three or four iterations per viewing? But outside of that, I got nothin'. Never even heard of one happening in real life.
I had to stop and think a second about whether it had ever happened at Faire, but, no. With that particular group of awesomely strange people, the potential for a bachelor auction going severely Wrong is just too great.
I've only seen Bachelor Auctions in fanfic. Then again, I haven't been to a lot of auctions period. The only one that comes to mind in the past 10 years or so would be the silent auction to benefit a local rape crisis center, and I can't imagine a bachelor auction being appropriate for that.
Belated Happy Birthday, amych!
In case you were wondering....
Andrew M. Seaman writes: "Researchers found that between 1989 and 2005, the number of sperm in one milliliter of the average 35-year-old Frenchman's semen fell from about 74 million to about 50 million - a decrease of roughly 32 percent".
Bachelor auctions happen a lot in romance, too.
Andrew M. Seaman? Srsly?
Sounds like the Onion came up with that name.
That's hilarious, Frankenbuddha.
This where I get to remind everyone that I used to live on Seaman Dr. off the corner of Cumming Ave. HAND TO GOD. At the actual corner of Seaman and Cumming was a CHURCH!!
The next street down was Dykeman and where it crossed Broadway there were the Broad Dyke aparments and the Broad Dyke Meat Market!!! Best neighborhood for names ever.
Smithers: Frankly sir, I think women and seamen don't mix.
Mr. Burns: We know what you thnk.
So the date auction I went to was held by the fraternal organization that was the brother to the one I was part of. My friend and I won our other friend's boyfriend, thinking the three of us would hang out some time, but he took us each out on a nice date! The best date I had in high school, for sure. Partly because he was good guy, partly because there were no questions about where we stood.
