They are no doubt telling the exact same story about you, Dan the Man.

cooler than you????  impossible!

And when they DO call, you’ll invite the rest of us to come hang out with you and your beautiful/cool new friends, right?

I’m guessing they didn’t even remember this incident once they got to the steakhouse toward which they were teetering.  And my experience has been, people like that aren’t as much fun to hang out with as they ought to be.  I think I had as much to do with them as I’d want.  If they call, wanting to get a little closer to ol’ Chuckles, I’d probably refer them to Friendster.  You’ve got to do a lot more than pose on the street to impress me into befriending you.  Well, I guess that depends on the pose, but these guys didn’t even take their clothes off.

dude!  that was YOU???

I must agree with you Dan, they are much better as strangers that you exchange supercool Keith Richards-type nods with rather than someone you attempt to actually hang out with....but the ego boost is always nice.

For a short while you were the cool kid. I can understand that. But I think you would out cool them any day.

Can I ride with you?  :)

Ha, dude, I’m grinning from ear to ear.  Can’t stop.  Great moment.

Are you sure the guy was wearing a leather pea coat?  And I don’t have a goatee, either.  Hmmmmmmm ...
