She was new in town. Her girl-friend 'set her up' with a singer, and their first date was to be dinner in a public place. He dressed stylish, she wore a red scarf, they chit-chatted. When she lit a cigarette to calm her nerves, she clumsily burned herself... And fled the restaurant in embarrassment!!
.
Ha, perhaps she inherited her father's shipfitter blues eh? If you or anyone you know has posted a Friday Flash 55, please come tell The G-Man! I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!! So from the most gracious host, from coast to coast.... Have a Great Week-End!!! Peace...!!!
nice, i once saw a girl try to make sexy eyes at a guy across the room, she tried to take a drink without losing his gaze and got the straw stuck up her nose!! mine is finally up!!
Not a 55 but a post about something I know a little about! And thats very surprising cause thats about all I know of anything. lol. Loved your 55. reminds me a little of the story my parents told me of how they met.
All righty then, Mr. G. I played the video. Bananas? Who knows. What I gleaned from the story and the video was that if I were that young lady and had been set up on a blind date with that singer, I'd have run out of the restaurant at first sight -- before it ever got to the desperate point of wrapping the red scarf around my head and setting it on fire.:-)
ROFL...that was a very funny 55. Should be a South Western commercial! I'm a smoker, and oh boy, that would be embarassing! Here's my late entry to Friday Flash 55. Hope it's not too late! http://cordieb.wordpress.com/2009/07/25/friday-flash-55-venom/
i'm up uber early hehe great 55 g-man :)
ReplyDelete55
Is it Friday already? Well, nevertheless, you've told another complete tale (and a fairly noir one at that) in only a few words. Good job!:)
ReplyDeleteFunny -
ReplyDeleteYour 55 is about a first date and a 'set up' date. Liked it.
My 55 is about a blind date and a first kiss.
It's posted.
PG
I'll overlook that fact that it' sonly Thursday. :)
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine running out on a date? I've had ones I've wanted to flee, but couldn't be that rude.
I 'pologize for my tardiness this week, but I've been preparing for a long-overdue escape from the rodent race. Including my marathon 55(00). Ya'll have a great weekend...
ReplyDelete55 Flash (Semi-)Fiction #53: "What I Did On My Summer Vacation"
Like that!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my 55
Nice one G. I'm up.
ReplyDeleteThose rotten blind dates. Better to leave the ciggies at home.
ReplyDeleteMine is here.
Yay, Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI like that story of yours--talk about going down in flames (sorry!) LOL
Mine's up right here.
Thanks again, and I hope the kids are having a safe and easy trip!
A 55 that says dating is a pain ... literally!
ReplyDeleteI cheated this week. Mine's not fiction, although it is about fiction.
Like your character, I have embarrassed myself on a first date.
ReplyDeleteMy Flash 55 is here:
Just Say "No"
Another good one. I've posted as well. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWho hasn't done something embarrassing on a date? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm back! And mine will go live in about ten minutes. :)

ReplyDeleteAnd her date did not purse her? At least he should have seen to it that she was okay since she was burned!
My 55ve is up too!
Sometimes it just doesn't go right :-)
ReplyDeleteYou'll find my 55 in this post.
Ouch...the poor thing. Mine is up HERE. Happy Friday everyone.
ReplyDeleteHa! Why would she run you wonder...If it were me, I'd stay and milk my 'burn' for all it's worth.
ReplyDeleteMine is about an encounter with the MIB today. LOL
Happy Friday G-Man, and a wonderful weekend to you.
I can see this, i would have run out of the restaurant too, if like her, I lit my mustache on fire trying to light a smoke.
ReplyDeletePeople...
ReplyDeleteI posted the video to go with the story. It makes more sense if you take the 2:31 to watch the vid..
Just sayin....G
I went on a couple of blind dates and was always afraid of doing something stupid like that! Thankfully I didn't.
ReplyDeleteI'm not playing this week honey, I'm busy packing for my hols. x
