Booze & Science.
a match made in heaven.
They dim the lights, pump up the music and put a drink in your hand. Now there's a recipe for makin babies.
As you can imagine, it lends itself nicely to boozing and cruising around the museum with other classy intellectual types. We spent the night on the prowl scoping out other people who are smart, but still like to party. Those are my kinds of peeps.
or so I thought.
While in line for drinks, I carefully eavesdropped on my girl A while she was oh-so-cleverly being hit on.
If that tank breaks, you better watch out. I hear those fish only eat cute girls. You and your friends are in trouble.
what. a. smooth. talker.
Had he been cuter, of course I would have proclaimed him a genius on the spot.
I'll admit it was borderline flattering, seeing as how I'm one of her friends. In a round-about way, he was complimenting me. And we all know I'll do just about anything for a compliment. or a dollar. or dinner. or a puppy. or a blog post. let's get back to the story...
He introduces himself to The Entourage. We were rolling about 10 deep, he and his friend must have been intimidated. Mad props for approaching us.
Have you seen the Cuddle Fish?
-No, we haven't. what is that?
Oh you HAVE to see it. The Cuddle Fish is the best.
I was not about to lose my place in line at the bar to go find some silly Cuddle fish.
He understood.
Later that night....
We bump into him near the jelly fish tanks.
Oh hey strangers! Have you found the Cuddle Fish yet?
notice two things. yes we really are strangers. and anyone who uses the word cuddle this many times makes me uncomfortable. no exceptions to that rule.
-oh haha, no we haven't found it yet.
well follow us. we'll show you.
We then proceed to follow these two men, one of whom is unfortunately 5-foot-nothing, into a dark corner of the aquarium. You already know that I have a history of following suspicious men into suspicious places. So this shouldn't surprise you.
oh no. the cuddle fish isn't out. he must be hiding.
They then stood there in the dark corner, unsure of their next move.
anybody else just get a flash back from 7 minutes in heaven?
no? oh yah me neither.
I wasn't sure of their true intentions. But my feet hurt and oh look at the time. bye.
To make up for the anticlimactic ending, I'll save you a google search.
Baby Cuddle Fish: awwwww
Grown Up Cuddle Fish:
My next boyfriend: That's a cuddle fish tattoo people. a tattoo.
