Hit on? You be the judge...

“Prairie du Chien, WI..... last Saturday...

I was looking at the shoe rack and saw some of those Merrell clog-type things. I had to sit down in an on-sale Bargain Cave chair to try on a couple pairs.

No sooner did I have a shoe on, then a guy wandering by starts a conversation out of the blue.

"What kind of boots are those?" he asked, looking at my ancient Asolo hiking boots.

I said, "Asolo and they're pretty old, but good boots."

He says, "I think I have some like that...." Then my friend lankyframe arrived to join the conversation... and Mr. Very Interested In My Boots moved quickly on.

LOL! So what do ya think? I sorta think the guy was hitting on me, although it wasn't a grocery store (as has been mentioned here as a pick up spot), so I can't be sure. LOL! Plus, I didn't get to see where the conversation would go since he skidaddled.

Ice Tea, have you tried this move at Campmor? Is it easier to pick up chicks at the outdoors stores?

LOL!”

“Sounds like an attempt to me!”

“Did you have three or more buttons undone? He may have been counting toes also. You got ten!!! right?”

“were you bent over so he could see down your top, that might be why he stopped :)”

“I think he was hitting on your boots, LOL”

“Congratulations.”

“A nice pair of boots always turns my head.”

“definetely! I think it's in their handbook or something

Rule #33 It's easy to see down their shirts when they're bent over shoes. And women LOVE shoes”

“And then she said, "Is that a full steel shank or are you just happy to see me?"”

“No not at campmor, but barns and noble is never a bad idea. You know that your getting an educated person.....


Yeah liz, there are a million ways to see down a girls top. I just found a new one today at the beach. The key is sunglasses, so you point your head at her face, and let your eyes wonder....yeah I'm sick!”

“BTW, he could have seen your beat to #&%!$ boots and thought you had some cool adventures to tell about them...Beat gear screams experence.......”

“That's me! "Experienced"..... with GEAR, I mean!!

Yup, the guy must have figured, "hey, she appears to really hike, and not be one of those gals who says they do and then shows up with high heels at the trailhead.... although it's always fun to look down those girls' tops when they bend over to take off those pumps."”

“Ahhh, the old "Nice Boots' ploy....

We see it all the time in the store...”

“I was talking to this gierl in the boots and this REI clerk was like "Can I help you?" but his tone stated get the heck out of here.

And I told him (in my best shut the heck up and go away voice) "Uhh, Nnnooo, I'm with her"

He backed off pretty quick then. I guess he thought I was flirting or something.

Do you teach the clerks that at REI dave?”

“Bunch of amateurs...I just shave my legs, wear a wig and hang out in women's locker rooms.”

“Ummm.... trench coat?”

“I hit on you all the time and you never seem to notice.”

“LMAO”

“Hit and run, yer on 'er!”

“You need a job at a jewelry store...

ring”

“Rock and Roll”

“Roll for a rock?”

“"hitting on your boots," LMAO @ Tilt!!

and who says "i THINK i have some like that"? doesn't he even know what kind of boots he has? he obviously wasn't worth your time, lizs.
;-)”

“An opportunity missed. He could have been a TT regular, a troll maybel. BTW, did you buy any boots?

(Note to self: Next time in Wi, MN area check out the action at a Cabela's Bargain Cave.”

“One night while I was running through my neighborhood this fella was bringing his garbage out to the curb just as I was running past his house. In a brazen move he shouts out "Yo! POPTART!". I'm thinking two things at once. One is "MEN!" and the other is "Poptart, hmmmmm, really?" Just as I have decided to take this as a compliment Poptart comes out from the side of the house, her little tags jingling from her collar...a terrier of some sort.”

Dang Binks, have you been hanging out with Ice Tea or is this in code”

“LMAO!!!!! oh man, that is a good one, running girl! you freak! this is going to be a good day...i'm cracking up already.”

“That's not getting hit on. If he would have started off with the "Nice pair of BOOBS" line...not THAT'S a hit.”

“When I was single, I used to cruise the grocery store, especially the vegetable section...”

“I know I'll burn in hell for this, but WTF.

Tea likes to work the Barnes and Noble in search of intelligence.

Is he countin' on osmosis?”

“aero, in search of vegetables......(real smart ones)?”

“i was paying the water bill the other day and the incredibly large lady behind the glass says....if you're late again we will shut if off and you will have to pay a reconnect charge......


she wants me...”

“Wow strat, what an opening! You should have said, "Maybe you could come over to my place and re-connect it..."”

“"Listen to this. Marcy comes over and she tells me that her ex-boyfriend was over late last night and 'yada yada yada I'm really tired today.' You don't think she'd yada yada sex?"

"I've yada yada'd sex."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the lobster bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again."

"But you yada yada'd over the best part."

"No, I mentioned the bisque."

- George, Elaine, and Jerry, in "The Yada Yada"”

“i can't believe she yada'd yada'd me!


lmao aero, i know!”

“Nah that was not a hit,
a little nibble on the line maybe, but not a hit.

The boot bait does seem to be working though”

“Who cares, geez. A guy talked to you.”

“A hit, especialy if he ran away when your bloke came back.
Have you been back to see if he just hangs around looking for Sheilas with buggered up boots?”

“If lizs had tracked a load of guano into the Bargain Cave she might have drawn in some really savory characters.”

“Prairie Dog, Wisconsin?

A disoriented monkey pox victim, no doubt.”

“It was a hit. I recoginze the pattern.”

“I never realized that was you liz, I was looking down your top, admiring your boots and hitting on you all at the same time :o) If it weren't for that tall fella I'd have asked you out.”

“Whether an all out hit or a gentle inquiry, wasn't it nice that he noticed you long enough to talk to you?”

“Wassup lizs, you mad or happy?”

“Mad, like a hatter?”

“Were you wearing a skirt by any chance?”

“LOL! I just wanted to let you guys know another venue of operation: the outdoors gear store. P-E-R-F-E-C-T, right?


"A hit, especialy if he ran away when your bloke came back.

LMAO!! Good one, bunyip! Well, he was off looking at other stuff and never talked to me again!”

“OK and to clarify further, I didn't think anything of this at the time.

Later, I wandered across one of the threads on here about guys calculating how to meet chicks at the grocery store and then I thought, "Whoa, maybe that's what was going on at Cabela's," and didn't it make better sense than a grocery store??

Cuz I mean, everyone has to eat. BUT, not every chick is into the outdoors.

I asked lankyframe about it much later and he said, yeah, what about that guy at Cabela's? Were you hitting on him??

LMAO!”

“Lizs, ya gotta watch out for the guys with foot fetishes...”

“Yeah lizs, were you hitting on him? Fess up!”
