Now I don't know if I read it right, or if it was just an off hand comment or what the fuck, but I think I heard a certain law professor would be happy to go to dinner and see Gran Torino with a certain horny commenter of ours. Go for it big guy.Just bring some supplies. Breath mints. Condoms. A stun gun. A video camera.
Good luck.

Stun gun. I have not had to use that yet. Heh.
Just that she can get excitable. I just want to be sure Meade protects himself at all times.
Hee, hee.
Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing
Roger Waters, Animals (1977)
Calm down, my little Yorkies. Be careful not to trip all over your own out-of-context vortexy sexual healing texts. The stun gun you save may be your own, if you know what I'm saying and I think you do.
It was an offhand comment and she was just calling my bluff because... well, she is good at that. In fact, she's an expert. Probably the best there is. I am totally outstungunned.
By the way, I blame Garage Mahal for this kerfuffle... the hippie commie lefty who is hated by none and just barely tolerated by all. He challenged my male pride and the Professor was nice enough to not leave me hanging, slowly twisting in the blog wind. So see -- who wouldn't want to have lunch with someone so nice? The Professor, I mean... not the Garage.
Besides, everyone knows I'm saving myself for Ruth Anne in the event she ever puts out the casting call for Second Husband and is looking for an Evan Bayh hoosier type with Gary Cooper good looks and a twist of lemon breath mints.
Sounds like Meade is getting nervous about the big date. heh.
As Simon might say, "Carpe diem, Meade!"
Do I smell a reality show?
"Who Wants To Date A Law Prof?"
Hell yes I picked up on it. Meade, don't underestimate your power to charm. I don't think Althouse would say it if she didn't mean it. There's only one way to find out...
I don't think Althouse would say it if she didn't mean it.
I don't either. In fact, I did a triple take when I read it in that comment thread. "Did she just tell Meade that she'd go out with him? ... Did she? ... She did!"
If I were single and you said the nice things about me you've said about her, I'd say yes to a date. You've made some very complimentary--and perceptive-- comments about her. Any woman takes notice at that. And you've been around long enough that she knows you're not 1. some weirdo or 2. dumb
Just reading what I have over the last months at Althouse, I'd say that is a date well earned.
Good luck, Meade.
Wow! I am totally flattered and super encouraged by Freeman, knox, and Darcy.
Blown away really.
Where the heck were all you dolls during the Summer of Love anyway?
I would ask everyone on this thread for a date if I could (and if you weren't all married). Except for AJ, chickenlittle, and blake. From them, I just couldn't bear the possibility of rejection.
Tell you what -- Just for you, my dear Yorkies, I'll adopt a modified 'don't ask, don't tell' policy. If she really does go out with me, none of you will be the last to know. How's that?
I'll call it my "Do Ask Me Anything You Want But Hell If I'm Gonna Tell You One Single Damn Thing" policy.
Really, sincere thanks. You guys and dolls are the best of the best.
: )
Go forth and date the birthday girl. You'll have an excellent time.
Speaking of dolls and the best of the best...
Thank you, Ruth Anne. That may be the final shove of confidence I need to follow through and take the chance. If it does come to pass, I promise you I will be nothing less than a gentleman.
Unless she gets out her staple gun and sledgehammer. Then, the gloves will have to come off. But I won't draw first. I'm old school.
Whew, I'm glad Meade's looking like he'll give it a shot. I was coming back here to channel Kowalski and call him "puss cakes" for ignoring this rare opportunity.
Freeman: "Rare" is used to describe steaks and clumbers.
Right. And I never steak and clumber on the first date. I'm a traditional guy.
