So Amy, do your friends have a nickname for you?<\/i>” He said, attempting to restart a conversation after failing to impress me with his previous masturbatory back-patting and offers to see his “wonderful” room at the hotel he has for his stay in town.<\/p>\n

*pause*<\/b><\/p>\n

Let’s see,<\/p>\n

Back in the days of boy …<\/p>\n

I had a few nicknames that come quickly to mind:<\/p>\n

Hairdyman<\/i>, Squirrel<\/i>, and Dick<\/i>.<\/p>\n

(seriously, in light of the whole sex change thing, doesn’t that last one just make you laugh !!! LOL)<\/p>\n

Anyways,<\/p>\n

I really don’t think any of them would fly in the current setting.<\/p>\n

And,<\/p>\n

I don’t think sharing that I sometimes go by Amy-Wan Kenobi really counts because I asked people to call me that !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I guess it’s time for a little super accelerated improvisatiooooon.<\/p>\n

*resume*<\/p>\n

*a mere .5 seconds later I might add !! :)*<\/b><\/p>\n

Goo<\/i>,” I said firmly.<\/p>\n

What?<\/i>” He asked.<\/p>\n

Goo.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Guuuuuuuu?<\/i>” He prolonged incorrectly.<\/p>\n

No. Goo,<\/i>” I answered succinctly, without turning my attention away from the television behind the bar.<\/p>\n

Goo?<\/i>”
\n“Goo.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Goo?<\/i>”
\n“Goo.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Goo.<\/i>” He said proudly, with unknowing, perfect tempo.<\/p>\n

And this completed for my own personal amusement the task of getting him to engage in a conversation of goo goo goo goo.<\/p>\n

Now of course,<\/p>\n

For a pure baby talk conversation …<\/p>\n

Which would have definitely amused me even further,<\/p>\n

I would have needed to work a Gaa Gaa in there some place.<\/p>\n

However,<\/p>\n

That wasn’t my objective in this particular search for entertainment.<\/p>\n

For in this case,<\/p>\n

I really was more interested in sending this dweeb a message that I figured with go over his head,<\/p>\n

Or possibly under it since he did seem to hold himself out as a more elevated, higher being than anyone from my lil’ ol’ hometown.<\/p>\n

So in that brief moment of .5 second reflection …<\/p>\n

I decided to kill two birds with one stone:<\/p>\n

One, I wanted to get Mr. I’m A Smarter Businessman Than Anyone In Your BackAsswards Hometown to use some fairly simplistic, juvenile vocabulary. Similar to the type he had earlier in the evening accused most locals of using; and,<\/p>\n

Two, I wanted to test Mr. I’m A Smarter Businessman Than Anyone In Your BackAsswards Hometown’s skills of observation, which he claimed were so astute, by giving him a not-so-subtle Function reference.<\/p>\n

He successfully cooperated in letting me accomplish both objectives to my satisfaction,<\/p>\n

By not only participating actively, albeit obliviously, in the Goo exchange,<\/p>\n

But by also concluding that my self-claimed Goo nickname was in reference to extreme states of lubricating arousal.<\/p>\n

Whattabutt !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Oh yeah,<\/p>\n

And obviously,<\/p>\n

The Goo Goo Dolls<\/a> rock !! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
