Yeah, so... um...you saw me?

The Eugene Weekly has a section in their personals called "I Saw You" where people can run ads in hopes of meeting someone they didn't have the cajones to approach in the first place. I went to High Street for a beer with my next door neighbors yesterday and we were reading these and trying to figure out what you would say if you read a description of yourself and called about the ad... "Yeah, hi...um....I guess you saw me or something? Your ad said coffee? maybe more? So, um.... who the hell are you? And why are you stalking me?"

We've gotten to know a few of the folks who work at High Street and there's this one guy named Dan - kinda looks like a modern hipster pirate - who played with the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and is now in a band called The Visible Men.... well, one of the I Saw You ads says:

-Dan-
Beautiful green eyes, unruly peaks, Visible. Thanks for always holding my gaze. Me: unpredictably shy, slightly roadworn anarquista with underlying brilliance. As ready as I will ever be. Lemonade?

We were cracking up.... apparently, he hadn't seen it yet, so he blushed a bit when we showed him. Then did the whole "yeah-the-chicks-dig-me-'cause-I'm-so-cool" thing. What a riot...
