dating...

Whilst out with a few current and former co-workers the other night, discussion was turned to a friend and business associate of ours. A coworker (for the sake of discussion, let's call him Stavros) asked a former coworker (let's call her Buttercup!!!!!) if she and this associate (umm, Hambone?) were still in touch. She mentioned that Hambone would contact her whenever he was coming to town to hang out with his girlfriend so even when he was in town she (Buttercup!!!!!) would never see him (Hambone). A new theory came up speculating this man was actually trying to court our fair female friend*. We figured whenever Buttercup!!!!! called him and he was "having dinner" with his "girlfriend" he was actually eating with a life sized Buttercup!!!!! cardboard cut-out. Obviously Hambone was sitting there putting food through a hole he cut in the mouth and then all the food would pile up onto the restaurant chair because he would do this in public and also because of gravity.
