Feeling kinda sappy this morning...

Describe your dream date, what does he/she like, where would you go, what would you do?

― james, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mine would love comics, music, pokemon, making silly jokes...kind of a meta-ILE personality!...We'd go to the comic shop and then we'd go and make songs on a 4-track. *sigh*

― james, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My fiance. *watches ILE massive stick their fingers down their throats*

― Ally, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

David
watch ile go into insulin shock for too much sugar

― anthony, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

What does she like? Me, obviously. We go to my flat, score drugs, get pissed, play Stax records and make out.

That's kind of unimaginative, but it's either that or dancing tango in the streets.

― Simon, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

s/he would love lour reed and patti smith, we would go to the coffee shops and tobacconist, and read together at night, and sleep and fuck during the day.

― Geoff, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

old news but: cd change gender at will, and wd teach me ditto

also with the krazy kolor funfur

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ok, he'd like Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and Nina Simone, be as cute as hell, dress all punk rock, like to go record shopping with me, then go to a taqueria for a burrito, lay around my apartment listening to records, and have lots of sex. Oh yeah and be an artist. Ok, so I just described my ex, who I am not able to get over at all... maybe because he really had all the traits I had always hoped a boyfriend to have, and was super sweet and thought I was great. Can I have him back now please?

― Sean, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sean, hands off my boyfriend!

― Samantha, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sometimes I want a cheerful deaf girl, sometimes an angry socialist and sometimes a dolphin. Now it's a decisive fervant young woman with a button nose. We'll do food, theatre and then hers. We'll miss work the next day and leave the city for the weekend, to go somewhere high up over the sea: Sussex, Devon or Padstow.

― chris, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

excuse spelling of fervent.

― chris, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A cheerful deaf girl?

― Ally, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

...and sometimes, not often, but sometimes, i like the idea of a chick with a horse.

― ethan, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

seeing as this is meant to be a dream date I think lot are being very dull. My dream date would be a multi day bachanalianlian tour of europe taking in the finest beers and wines the continent can offer, the finest food and the most incredible music. finest food doesn negate wonderful 60pence pizzas in naples with oh so fresh tomatoes and basil, and chips drippign with mayonaise and mustard in brussels and many other high and low class treats. I'd also have to cook too so some time would be spent finding fabulous ingredients and some cookign would be involved which would of course entail much prancing round the well equiped kitchen of some country farm house somewhere before retire to a capacious sofa by a roaring wood fire. perhaps that bit should be in autumnal tuscany, for chesnut flour and novello olive oil and wine, or maybe northen spain for fresh sausages hams, ciders and cheese. Definately the autumn though, early november.

She would have to be a complete foody (natch), strong broad tastes in music, not necessarily coincident with mine politically aware not frightened of expressing her opinions. Strong in mind

― Ed, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd be either arrested or celebrated depending on how one takes my ultimate dream date. So I'll leave it at that.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(this is ned's fisting dan quayle on the tonight show thing: a dream deferred is a dream denied, ned)

― mark s, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i saw a guy who looked just like ned in borders today. he was reading maxim.

― ethan, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

someone who'd put up with listening to all of my music loudly and not make jokes all the time.

― Maria, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I feel obliged to answer this, as I am apparently so vulgar and twee and disgustingly, spite-inducingly sappy.

I dont have a dream date though. All my dreams involve the buying of plastic bangles, which I can do quite happily by myself.

― rainy, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sticking with my joan jett roadhouse fantasy.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tenshi

― Mike Hanle y, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want my dream date to have me as her dream date.

God that's depressingly hopeful...

― JM, Tuesday, 16 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i don't really have a dream date. i like people for who they are, not who i want them to be (sorry thats so boring). if i met someone i was interested in, we would go where the fancy took us, cos thinking of an artificial situation that you would like to create with someone don't quite seem right for me.

there are some pretty good make-out spots around dunedin though, not that i'd know anything about that ;)

oh i can't deny, i wouldn't mind being sandwiched between ashton kutcher and shayne carter. but thats purely physical.

― di, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mine would like idm, Hal Hartley, and eating pancakes late at night. We'd have a private radiohead acoustic show, and perhaps be the first people to land on Mars. Oh, and she'd have a nice rack.

― bnw, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ally: there's one on the Central Line sometimes and she's awesome.

― chris, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was looking at a picture of Shane Carter today, I am confused. Aren't you forgetting Operation and co?

I think currently my lusting capacity, despite encouragement from many (especially Steve) is slowly atrophying. I just give up before I begin and dont bother thinking about it in favour of second hand shopping. Its all so futile and I think I need to take a positive thinking course :)

― Menelaus Darcy, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Right now my dream date is when my beautiful co-worker Marsha returns from fetching me my dream lunch: brie tomato and basil baguette, kettle chips and a strawberry and banana smoothie. The only way it could be more perfect would be that she was a beautiful boy who I wuvved, going to Itsu or Teriyaki Japan to fetch me some freshly made sushi, returning not to our office, but to a blanket spread underneath a tree in the park where we could make out after sushi fest. Smelling vaguely of soy sauce and wasabi. Mmmmmm.

Probably best to ask me again after lunch though. Did I mention I'm hungry?

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually, I'm so hungry that David Essex could turn up bearing a sosage sandwich and THAT would be pretty dreamy too.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

surely make out then eat?

― mark s, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Come on Mark, removing food-fragments from each others fun-fur is the height of eroticism.

― Tom, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

food fite then make out (inc.nibble) then eat then nap

i am thinking of internal post-prandial stodginess (or variant6s) and the dampening effect it has on hem hem carnal athleticism: remember i am very old!

― mark s, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Let's date!

― Melissa W, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No preconceptions about the beginning, as long as it ends with a shower/bath in his company followed by fresh croissants and coffee.And plenty of time to go back and start again...

― Laetitia, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

rowr

― chris, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes I dream of dates too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh.....

― Ronan, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for some reason, i read hanley for hartley and thought...hmmmmm.

― Geoff, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Seriously though I already know my dream date, i met her on yahoo chat of all places, its depressing enough to admit that. This all explains any of my cryptic posts re knowing people from the internet and that whole general area. We'd go anywhere really, it wouldnt bother me what we did either.

― Ronan, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this is ned's fisting dan quayle on the tonight show thing: a dream deferred is a dream denied, ned

DO NOT TEMPT ME.

Re: Maxim. I think the operative word regarding that rag is 'garbage.'

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i wasn't trying to insult you or anything, it was just a guy who looked like ned reading maxim. if he had been saving babies from a fire or something i would have mentioned that too.

― ethan, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dream date--dark hair, eyes, and overgrown eyebrows--completely reserved--once in a while will make sassy/witty commentary, then return to staring down at shoes. Always has a notebook--doesn't dress too entirely fashionable, but has great shoes. Likes conflicting genres--Paul Verhoeven films, Peter Falk. Nice, soothing voice but very hushed. He and I will go to Horsetooth Reservoir and make out.

― Mandee, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

bnw...why aren't we dating. I am your dream date.

― Melissa W, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good grief, this is... me!. Apart from the sassy/witty bit, obviously. Hmph.

― DavidM, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I would like to go to the Four Seasons on my next dream date. DAMN IT RELEASE THE EMPLOYEE RATES YOU RAT BASTARDS. I might book a night there at Christmas. That'd be fantastic.

― Ally, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

melissa i have talked to you in the middle of the night a million times and you have never mentioned eating pancakes.

― ethan, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Currently, pretty much anyone would do, except my nemesis MS, who has an enormous fat head.

― DG, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DG, you're nemesis is multiple scelrosis? I'm sorry.

― Sam-at-home, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wake up in a moonlit clearing in the forest & a little white pony is nuzzling at my face. "Come on Doorag, it's time to go". I climb on her back & we take off vertically into the night sky.

― duane, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Last night I dreamt I was fighting in a Vietnam-style war in Afgahnistan. :(

― Sam-at-home, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My nemesis does indeed have the same initials as Muliple Sclerosis, and is about as pleasant.

― DG, Wednesday, 17 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dream date disagrees with everything I say and vice versa, I flatly and emphatically insult her at every opportunity while slipping in veiled compliments at moments when they seem most absurd, she acts revolted yet fascinated by everything I say and vice versa. The rest of the date's exactly like Serendipity.

She never even met Stephanie. But it is quality, innit?

― Ally, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sorry - my CURRENT roommate saw this coming - Matt, who was at Motor City with us and never forgave me for abandoning him there with Steph while we went and played what i suspect is the Theatre of Magic sequel pinball game. Matt's the tidy, friendly, respectful roommate. as opposed to my old roommate. who was not any of those things. I dunno, Matt always acts like he's desperate to get laid so I thort nothing of it, but he still holds a grudge.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

WAIT WAIT HOLD UP COWBOY. You never told me this story!!!!! What did he say? Oh my god, now I won't sleep til I hear this. We should all get together again and play Theatre of Magic part II, that head was trippy as all fuck.

BTW, what kind of person hits another person over a fruit smoothy? I might be crazy, but not that crazy.

― Ally, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How did a thread about dream dates somehow morph into a thread about how seemingly all of Western society can't stand my roommate? Am I really this self-centered and blowsy and bossy?

― Ally, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, I've decided that bar kind of sucks though. The music is TOO LOUD. But it IS the only place I've ever seen

http://www.pinball.com/games/cirqus/COGA10.GIF

Re: Stephanie + Matt - there's no story. He just couldn't stand her. But he can be kind of abrupt and gruff around people so I wasn't too surprised.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, some dreams are nightmares.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That pinball game rocked the casbah, we should go play it, and then leave and go to a good bar, like all the ones uptown. Or Caprice, which isn't a good bar at all but it's amusingly full of completely insane people.

Why does it seem everyone who meets Steph instantly hates her? Even Greg hated her and Greg was so easy going he was willing to sleep in my closet for 3 days.

― Ally, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm having a Halloween party a week from tomorrow. Should I invite ILx?

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(shouts) Hey ILx!! if you live in new york and you want to scare yourself silly with drink, maybe bob for an apple or two, and wear some type of humiliating costume, email me. it's a week from today. Ally, bring Ramone. Girls, rock your boys.

― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 20 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'll be there, which means I'll get to go to two parties in my fantastic school girl costume.

― Ally, Saturday, 20 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

today my dream date would be being led by a person covered from head to foot in something, anthrax protection outfit, purdah costume, whatever, into a white room with nothing on the walls, and being injected with pethedrine, and them leaving and me lying on the floor looking up at the roof, for hours until I could tell it was nighttime by the change in the sounds I could faintly hear outside, and then someone coming in also unrecognisable, and injecting me with something that would put me to sleep.

― maryann, Saturday, 20 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I changed my mind, plastic bangles are not enough. I simply MUST go to the movies with a nice boy.

― rainy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I changed my mind, plastic bangles are not enough. I simply MUST go to the movies with a nice boy.

But rainy, you just posted in another forum:

I was at a bar last night and was staggered by the ratio of good looking girls to guys. All the guys had stupid clothes, and the girls were smiling at each other. And boys don't really know how to have fun.

So why don't you find a nice girl to go the movies with? Why settle for something inferior?

― hamish, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can only think of worst-case scenarios when it comes to romance. This is bad, que no?

― turner, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

maryann you mean PETHEDINE.

― mr fuckin drug expert, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actually i might've spelt that wrong too

― , Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hamish I don't know. I just don't know. I'm all torn up inside and theres no room for flan.

― rainy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have a squillion nice girls to go to the movies with, but I still occasionally allow myself to hope that one day I'll find a boy who will be as fun and nice as my friends, because its a boy that I want to kiss.

― rainy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i tried to get a contigent to see from hell no such luck maybe i will see it in Van.

― anthonyeaston, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have a contingent going to see From Hell with me tomorrow. None of them is a Finnish girl named Dasha though, so I'm not too excited.

― Otis Wheeler, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Menelaus Darcy's dream date is obviously running Shayne Carter over in Duane Zarakov's van.

if this happens, my dream root will never eventuate. So please Duane, do not lend her your van. If you do, I will never type up your singles list ever again. Then you will be screwed cos you type worse than the tardies at KVC

― di, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no Di, I promise, I'll be gentle with him.

― Menelaus 'lovin' touch' Darcy, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

in approx 1 hr i am going on a date with a lesbian who just got out of a mental hospital in maine. a psychoanalyst might say "i see some red flags there" but i say cover me in a flurry of crimson cloth.

― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 21 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why don't you just go ask Dasha out for fuck's sake, Wheeler?

― Ally, Monday, 22 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hummm . Let me see. If I could live a dream date, it would be with someone who is fun, who has half a brain, loves to dance is tall dark & ruggedly handsome to me.! We could go anywhere on earth, and just enjoy being with each other. We could do many fun things as well, such as A nice walk in the leaves, swimming in a pool, watch the movie Field of Dreams & listen to some great classical music. :) Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know this guy who's Raggetly handsome! eh? eh? Oh wait, he's taken.. there's still the Maxim-reader, though.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Aha the old maxim reader eh? you tell him then that this old gal is lookin'for him...! :) Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A dream date would never end.

― Brian MacDonald, Monday, 29 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A nice walk in the leaves

Then after that, a cooky glass

― maryann, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what's a cooky glass?

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DON'T YOU KNOW?????????!!!!!!

― rainy, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hate to say this but I don't know what a cooky glass is either :( Gale

what's a cooky glass?

― hamish, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

she'd love Frank O'Hara, make me laugh, enjoy long hours spent doing nothing, speak french poorly with enthusiasm, graciously take the phone from my hand whenever my mother called, keep a loving boot close to my ass, eat more than once a day, move in, manage my finances, lead an examined life, get my jokes, be super-comfortable in her own skin, like to kiss, and i don't care what she listens to. we'd go to third street promenade and check out the tourist girlies.

― dan, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's this thing.

Anyway, my new dream date is listening to this song by the Kinks I don't know the name of from Village green preservation society, it's kind of spooky about a haunted house maybe or something? over and over again. like if I had a cd thing you could program to repeat. and eating passionfruit cheesecake.

Hey Duane remember how cheesecake used to be your 'specialty'? But I only remember you making it once. Even though it was your specialty!

― maryann, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

WHAT THE FUXOR IS A COOKY GLASS? please.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's this thing.

yeah i think i only did make it once. it was good tho.

― duane, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's this thing, you guys.

― rainy, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

He falls down drunk I hold him up

he drinks and I refill his cup

then I take him home and put him to bed.

He wakes me in the dead of night

lets me be his second sight

to guide him while he's sleepwalkin'

listen what he's sweet talkin'!

I see the end of the road in his eyes!

I had the setting for a dream date once, too bad it was ruined by zero chemistry between us. Dinner at a fantastic restaurant followed up with some great wine on a rooftop in downtown Lake Michigan during one of the most beautiful sunsets I'd ever seen. If we'd have felt anything for each other it would have been a date for the ages, instead it was awkward and uncomfortable in a beautiful setting.

Well that sunset sucked

― Local Garda, Tuesday, 14 April 2009 14:14 (sixteen years ago)

Jesus, "downtown Chicago on Lake Michigan" is what was meant there.

I like that Onion article!
