As soon as Karen sat down, he turned to see who had sat down next to him, and then pivoted and started talking to her. After a minute or so they sho...k hands, obviously sharing names. I watched them talk, watched their body language, but couldn't hear what they were saying. I was tempted to go sit at the bar too, inconspicuously just so I could hear them, but decided it was better to give Karen her space. After about thirty minutes, I was expecting Karen to walk back over to me, with some. One day after the class he begun to ask about girls, places were he could meet some chicks and things like that.

Hamburger became like eating out at Ruth Chris! I wound up at a temp agency sitting and waiting for day help call outs. And most of the people were looking for young strong backs, not thirty eight year old developer washouts. And when I did get work it was almost more than I could bear.

Let's say the loser, who ever it is, has to do anything they are told. The loser must stay in the winner’s room and take care of them every day. The loser would also have to make up a reason for such things as why they aren't there for dinner. The loser also has to dress up as anyone the winner wants them to be."
