Trackside - NASCAR Fun

Jeff Burton is love. And funny. And makes life so much better.

Steve Byrnes: In a few weeks - at Martinsville - we'll be having your brother on, Ward!

Jeff Burton: You need me to come interpret?

Steve: Nah, that's why we have Elliott.

Elliott Sadler: Yeah, that's why I'm here.

He's just sitting there, arms folded, and watching the race. He's got a great job!

Getting Hit On

I went across the street to get a Coke and a candy bar. Got hit on. By a guy with a Harley.

Needless to say, I was actually tempted.

Then again, he should have led with "I have a Harley". *eg* That would have gone much better than "Do you have a boyfriend?" Since my standard answer to that question is "yes" (when asked "Do you have a boyfriend" while walking out of a convenience store, well...), he could have gotten farther by leading with the good information.

I still would have declined, though. Product of life-long geekitude, but I'm automatically suspicious of anyone hitting on me when it's obvious that it's based on looks and that's it. Yeah, looking good today. That's not a daily occurence. I don't feel like worrying about keeping up a look because that's why they were attracted to me. Also, I like having someone be attracted to who I am. It's what's inside that counts, you know? And frankly, I wasn't wearing anything that pointed out my interests either (like if I had on a Biffle shirt or a Superman shirt and that was a conversation starter).

But he did have a Harley.
