But please, continue to amuse yourself.
He's got to, he dosn't get out much.
Seeing as this thread is about tangents, here's a new one: Story time.
Last night took an unexpected twist. The Jakester doesn't drive so he walked into town and we met at a pub we both know. Bad idea. As we both know it, so do our friends. I get there and he's sitting with part of my posse. He's the new BF so I'm a bit terrified as to what
'bonez stories' they are filling his head with. Anyhoo, it was supposed to be just the two of us...plans change.
Jakes and I are going horse-back riding later today, his idea. I don't do horses. He has this pamphlet from the farm where we are going and I'm looking it over. Bit of a problem, it says that you need to provide your own riding equipment. I don't own any of that kit. I say to Jakes, "
We might have a little problem, I don't personally own a saddle." There are five of us round the table, three knob-gobblers and two straight guys. One of the straight guys, we'll call him Jethro, always has an opinion ...Nice enough guy, but an expert on everything. He pipes in: "
Don't worry, you don't need a saddle. Just ride bareback." Skippy, the gayest of the lot of us, has a mouth full of beer and it starts spraying all over the place. Jakes and I chuckle a bit. Jethro, not content to have just one foot in his mouth adds, "
No really, I've done it before lots of times, it's cool! Just takes a bit of getting used to." Now I'm howling. Kippy asks,between laughing jags, "
Won't he end up dammaging something?" Jethro says, "
No, no, it's all good, you just have to take it slow at first until you get used to it." Now everyone but Jethro is in hysterics. Jakes, myself and kippy are laughing so hard we are in tears. Jethro looks bewildered.
So this AM I've given the head's-up to everyone. Jethro will have about a dozen PM's and texts from different people..."Bareback on Brokeback, you and me?"
...now go plow some mountie ass.
