Love Is A Supermarket

Whaddayado when you’re kinda down?

You lookup your favourite horny no-good pal of course. Since I have no tits, he would not be distracted and therefore would have some conversational value. So we went to this place for lunch that was really ironic.

Swanky furniture - $100k
Lounge jazz music - $10k
chicken chop set lunch - $7
Freaking self-service - priceless.

Today’s tale is not about this horrible restaurant of irony. Instead it is about love and men fast approaching the age where they discover that they no longer have anybody to hang out with because all their firends have gotten married.

Me: Dude, all your friends are now no longer single or in a relationship
Him: So?
Me: : If you do not settle down soon, there will be nobody left to hang out with you
Him: I can hang out with younger women
Me: : That’s my point. You have to stop shopping.
Him: And do what?
Me: : Stop shopping and get to the checkout counter already
Him: I am seeing somebody rather seriously.
Me: : Which part of the supermarket are you at now?
Him: What do you mean?
Me: : Are you at the frozen foods section?
Him: I’m in the checkout queue
Me: : Can you see the sweets, mints and chocs by the counter already?
Him: A bit
Me: : Ok, you’re close now. Don’t get impatient in the queue and try to cut into somebody else’s lane.

eh what is that popularity thing after each entry? And how is it calculated?

Don’t worry too much about it dude. It’s part of life. Look forward to it. Getting married doesnt mean letting go friendships.

Learn to handle loneliness and you can do anything and be anywhere you want to.

Cheers.

in my case, the brand of chocolate i’m looking for is forever out-of-stock. I can’t check-out even if i want to.

This was a great post!

I’m still selecting the 3 oranges for $1.00…

omg. this is a great post.

i think i’m still deciding whether or not to go to the supermarket, OR, i could be checking out the bag boy.

hahaha…

Bravo!!

all the best!!

cheerio,
yl.

FF > it’s alex king’s popularity plugin for wordpress. No idea how it counts though.

darren > married men dont get to hang out much.

mt > what brand you want? Have you tried shopping at Chippendales?

belle > you should checkout the guy who brings the bacon home…

yl > cheerio 2

woof > stop molesting the fruit! Haha.

caleb, i don’t know what brand. but i’m looking for a chocolate that’s not fattening.

MAN, you GUYS are good at speaking in riddles!

wahhaa. if its tat scenario.

mine would be..

i was so near the checkout lane when the chicken which i wanted to buy ran away.

sighz. time to choose a new chicken. :(

:P

Heh heh… the exchange with Mandrake’s really funny. When nearing the checkout counter, that’s all the mints and chocolates start appearing - macham like a lure of sweeter women to test the guy’s loyalty to the woman he’s marrying!

Wahaha…I simply love this post!

Interesting theory and hilariously funny.

Then again, some checked out already and returned the goods! But of cos we hope this will never happen lah.

Nad: Chicken or duck?

Caleb: So you have passed the mints and the cashier has printed the credit statement for you to sign? Got any delay or not? Must wait 1 year issit? God bless.

blah..make sure you don’t arrive at home and open your grocery bags all giddy just to discover you bought a rotten fruit!! Not related to my situation. But you need to stop making others uncomfortable about “gotta get married, running out of time, getting old, die alone” cause it’s just depressing!!!!!!!!!!

haha, wouldn’t the guy buying bacon be the one who is already married?!?!?!

*horror*

(excuse my errors, once again, i cannot see what i’m typing)

Caleb, they “don’t get” to hang out much or they “don’t want” to? It’s a big diff. Life is bound to change when you start a family, but being there for a buddy is important. I’ve seen friendships that last till old age, through weddings and funerals. I know life in Spore is hard. And weekends are for family.. but hey, isn’t friendship is about understanding?

just because you are getting married donthave you chase around everyone to get married too.

buy already cannot refund leh. shop abit more la.

Love is Like Playing Ball

that relationship is like playing ball. You pass the ball to him. You wait him to throw it back to you.
