I hope this finds you well.
Thanks to a generous friend, who set me up with my dream man, I had a date last week...
He didn't drink, couldn't reach the straw.
Below: If anyone knows how to manage a lemon, it's my Bernie.
Bernie Sanders, my (and his wife's and some of the world's, but most importantly my) love, still fighting the good fight. #ForeverBernieSanders #Resisttheorangemofo
He was indeed the perfect gentleman. I hope your next date is a little less so (in the very best way).
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, EC, and that he also picks up the check. Thank you, friend.
DeleteThat is a great action figure!
ReplyDeleteIt's a striking resemblance, replete with bald spot too - way better than the Elizabeth Warren or Hilary Clinton action figures.
DeleteThat's probably one of the best dates you've had in a while. Bet he didn't go on and on about his last girlfriend, either.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't complain at all, Alex - not even after I accidentally knocked him over (three times).
DeleteI was confused because I know Bernie is married, but I guess I'm "old school."
ReplyDeleteWe leave old, young, and middle school at the door around here and crank up the sillies. Shirley, I mean Stephen, you must know that by now. ? =)
DeleteAnd you didn't have to deal with any dogs, literal or not, sure a win all around.
ReplyDeleteNo dogs or flat-faced dog lovers, just me and my Bernie - a purrfect gentleman.
DeleteA match made in heaven! Plus the man can spell!
ReplyDeleteHe's one in a million, my Bernie.
DeleteWhat a perfect date, took you out for dinner, he paid and you didn't have to ask all about him and listen to him feigning keen interest
ReplyDeleteOh no, no feigning, Birgit. The chemistry between us was real.
DeleteHAHAHA! I love this. He is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? =)
DeleteThanks, Martha.
That is so awesome!!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, JoJo. He's a cutie - isn't he?
DeleteStay tune for my Barbie... but don't hold your breath, cause it won't happen!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a disappointment - for Barbie. But good for you, Sage. (Rumour has it, she's free and easy. You could do better - e.g., Wonder Woman.)
DeletePlus he fits in your pocket and you can pull him out any time you need him.
ReplyDeleteYes, I can take him with me everywhere I go. He's loyal and never makes a fuss. Sigh. =)
DeleteHe couldn't have a better girlfriend than you, Robyn! Who else would massage his head with her chin? And prevent the kitty from toying with him?
ReplyDeleteI WILL take good care of my Bernie, GB. Thank you for acknowledging that.
DeleteBernie! You made our girl so happy. I bet you didn't call her shorty, either.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
He said nothing offensive, my little tiny Bernie.
DeleteLove.
That's one of the best action figures I've ever seen, though his hair was a tad too under control. Then again he was on a date with you - no doubt recognized the significance. Beyond awesome post and yes, anything but the orange mo fo.......holy crap - did I ever think it would be this crazy? Seriously, no. Take care, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWe were all hoping it wouldn't be as bad as we thought it'd be. Yet it's so much worse. At least, much of the world agrees.
DeleteThank you, Joanne. Take good care of yourself too.
You're silly.
ReplyDeleteI resemble that comment. Thank you, Shoshanah.
DeleteFrom all I have read about your dates this would seem to be one of your best. While Bernie doesn't appear to be much of a conversationalist he appears to be very easy to get along with and a perfect gentleman, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI have no complaints, Jono, and that's a rarity.
DeleteSomehow, I had the impression that Bernie was a taller man. Delightful post!
ReplyDeleteThey always look taller on TV, Geo. ;-)
Deletehaha What a date! Bet he can fit nicely into the right crevice
ReplyDelete(but not on the first date)
;)
xo
Oh no, not on the first date, Anthony.
DeleteThe second date is for that. I'll put him in my mouth then. ;-)
xo
Oh my gosh! Robyn, this post has me in tears. No lie. I wish I wasn't wearing mascara because it's getting in my eyes and making them all blurry. Whew! Chin flab - some form of necking. Whew! You're too much. So funny. I can't stop laughing. I love you so much! Thank you for this!!
ReplyDeleteElsie
Heehee, so glad this made you cry. Hint: waterproof mascara. (Nah, that doesn't work, does it?)
DeleteLove you lots.
You've found Mr. Right! Bernie is your dream mystery date! You're probably too young to remember that old board game, but this post made me think of it for some reason. :) So funny.
ReplyDeleteWas that a TV show too, Connie? I used to watch the Dating Game. Mystery Date sounds familiar. =)
DeleteHe picked up the check, yes, but if he didn't offer you free college, I'm worried that he just might not be THAT into you...
ReplyDeleteOh...damn! But I finished college and paid off my loans, and he must've known this. Right? Yeah, I'm sure of it. Bernie knows everything about me. My Bernie. Sigh.
DeleteIt appears Bernie was over dressed for the occasion. I agree with his comments the other day on PBS(?) interview about healthcare. What does he talk about after a few drinks?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that I missed this post. I had tried to go back and pick up the one's I missed during my hiatus.
ReplyDeleteAnyway...Bernie is far shorter than I imagined him to be. Still, you look extremely happy so who am I to judge. He does seem like a really good guy.
