And now for something completely different

30 06 2008

Last night I couldn’t sleep (partially cause I have kept sleeping around 4 am and last night I tried around 10pm) and in half-drowsy stupor, I came up with an idea for a web start-up. The scale of the project seems too immense, but I am talking to a couple of web programmers/domain-holders to see what we can do.

So yesterday, I was hanging out with Yekki and Menglin and we arrived on a bet. Well the pretext was a couple of bets we had made earlier. At Starbucks, Menglin and I saw this Asian man drive up in a new Corolla and wait in line. A few minutes later, another Asian man drove up in a new Corolla of a different color and he got in line at Starbucks. For some reason I decided that they probably knew each other and at the very least would sit together. Menglin, challenging my skills of sociology, bet that they wouldn’t. Whoever lost had to treat the winner to Starbucks.

Turns out they did know each other and sat down outside, right next to us – and of course they had to smoke their Chinese cigarettes. Menglin told me how to say cigarettes are bad for you in Chinese, I said it very loudly, and we left.

So yesterday, we bet on the *futbol* game yesterday between Spain and Germany. I bet on Spain to win – and Menglin bet on Germany, being the Nazi that he is. And the wager was that the other would have to go skinny dipping in front of some audience, but then I realized I really don’t want to see him naked.

So then the bet between me, Yekki, and Menglin takes place next Sunday at the Galleria – we all have to get a number from someone in whatever capacity, cannot mention the bet, and cannot get it from someone we already know. The last person to get a number has to walk around a store on a crowded day with a sign of the winners’ choosing. The problem is, guys are more likely to give girls their number than girls are likely to give guys their number.

So I’m thinking she’d have to get a number from the Abercrombie model - or from any girl

Whatever the case, we’re going to record each person’s attempts and put it on youtube, and of course on this blog. Maybe one of the punishments would be to pay for gas, cause it is so damn expensive…damn leftists.

Steven,
Does the bet specifiically say that you actually have to do the action of getting the phone number?….Otherwise, you could pay someone to get the phone number for you, and, technically, you would have gotten the phone number.

Also, does the girl have to know that she is giving you her phone number?….you could ask for her name and, then, look up the phone number (technically, this too gets you her phone number).

…Yeah, lol we have to see the other person physically write down his/her name on a sheet of paper AND the telephone number.
The rejection hotline counts, if we do get it. :)
