Subject: Am I a TOTAL loser magnet or what?

So I thought I would share this story with my fellow COJ'ers here on BT.

I was in Montana this weekend for my cousin's wedding....what a BEAUTIFUL place...

Friday night was a Hoe Down for the rehersal dinner at a saloon in town....and I dressed up for it since when am I ever going to be able to dress up again (there is a picture of me in the BT Ladies of 2009 thread), and while I was there, this one creepy guy kept staring at me (I know I am single, and should like the attention, but this guy gave me the willies). 

So at the reception, sure enough, I walk up to the bar to get a drink, and creepy guy says to me, "Well howdy cowgirl, I sure thought you looked purdy in your outfit last night." I say thank you, get my drink and go over by my family.  So, after dinner, as I am standing talking to my aunt and 2 uncles, he walks up and says, "I just wanted to come over and introduce myself.  I'm Carl, what's your name?" I tell him my name.  He asks me if "I'm from around these parts?" Ummm, no, I'm from Chicago....I work for an investment firm there. "I don't know what that means, but I'm a carni," he proceeds to tell me.  "Ya, I get to travel all over with the carni." Interesting, I tell him, and by this time, I am getting even more uncomfortable, but little do I know it's about to get even more interesting....

"So what do you do for fun?" he asks, and I tell him I do the usual...hang out with friends, family, and that I also do triathlons. "What's a triathlon?" Really? So I tell him, and he says, "So do you like to party?" By now I am really wishing I could somehow get someone in my family's attention or just have the guts to walk away, but I don't want to be rude.  "I don't know what you mean by party, but I drink, that's about it. Being that I do triathlons, I don't usually do anything but drink." And he says, "So, you don't smoke p*t, snort glue, sniff or shoot up?"

With this, I tell him, "No Carl, I don't do any of that, and I'm going to go ahead and go celebrate with my family." And as I am leaving he says, "Well, if you change your mind, I'll be here." GREEEATTT.....

Uggh...are you kidding me???

WOW! Scary! Not sure what to say girl... but that's pretty bad. Not many women can say they have been hit on by a carni and offered drugs at the same time.

So I am assuming to make you a "magnet" there are more stories similar to this one.  He actually sounds like he would fit right in with the residents of the apartment complex I manage.  LOL

Let me get this straight ... you were in Montana. At a ho down. Wearing THAT outfit. And you're surprised you attracted a pot-smoking, glue-sniffing, coke-snorting carni? Gee I'm shocked you didn't meet a sophisticated banker or doctor with a house in the Hamptons and a condo in Aspen.

Hopefully he was a guest of the other wedding family.  Otherwise, this pot-smoking, glue-sniffing carnie that hit on you might also be a long lost cousin.

Ha...ya, that would be weird! But no, Ennis, Montana where they live, is so small, and he owns a car repair/car parts shop, so he knows a ton of people, so I am pretty sure he was a local! My cousin Peggy Sue married him and moved there.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait........

I want to make sure I got this right.  Your cousin, Peggy Sue, married a guy from Ennis, Montana that owns a car repair/parts shop.  That's the story you are telling here?

Snortin' glue is way underated IMO. Try it with tequila shots some time. Getting the right ratio of glue and tequila is kinda iffy at times, so be careful at first. Say... that shore iz a purdy skort you got on in your avatar.

I hear that "skin crawling" feeling is a symptom of a drug problem.  Maybe you should just admit that you have a problem and start dating this guy!  LOL (Just kidding...really)

I'm pretty sure every woman who has been hit on by a carni has been offered drugs at the same time.


The guy has a job, likes to travel, and has disposable income. Sounds like a catch.
