I have very few hard fast rules in life, outside of the obvious "don't put that rat poison next to the cornstarch" and "don't mix up the olive oil with the castor oil".
One hard and fast rule I have is to never date a guy named Slick. I would strongly suggest that none of you do either. I taught my daughter from the time she was eleven that was a rule to live by. Sheila did go out with a loser named Tad in high school, but even dull Tad was a far cry from Slick.
I don't care if Slick is an ex-priest or a mega-millionaire philanthropist, you should still steer clear of him. Now, you may ask, what if Slick is the name his mother gave him? How can we penalize him for using his given name?
Think about it Ladies. Do you want that woman as your Mother-In- Law?
Hmm...I think I dated a Slick or two in "Tom" or "Jerry"'s clothing...
ReplyDeleteNice post, Linda!
The absolute truth is that I did once. I therefore know of which I speak!
ReplyDeleteAnd never ride a horse named Buck.
ReplyDeleteAnd never eat at a place called Mom's.
ReplyDeleteI have a rule against dating women who love to brag about what a b*tch they are. Never saw what was so appealing about that.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wouldn't date anyone named Slick either. Good rule to go by.
Jay, I too wonder about the charm of a self proclaimed "killer bitch from Hell". Do you know, honestly, the biggest turn on to me has always been somebody who likes me! Damn that makes things easy!
ReplyDeleteJust don't go dating a Jezebele, Jay. Could be kind of the same thing.
I dated a Slick once and you are absolutely right. It was a name he gave himself which should have been the red flag that made me turn around and run away from him. Luckily for me he was too slick and I couldn't keep up with him. Ultimately he was too slimy to be much of a threat.
ReplyDeleteIs Slick a real name? I have to believe that anyone born with it would have the common sense to at least use an alternate for the sake of at least SOUNDING like a productive member of society. Slick just sounds like bad news.
ReplyDeleteJen, Ms. Cricket, I rest my case. (Jen, how did I know that you dated him once too?)
ReplyDeleteI also make it a rule never to date anyone named Poindexter.
ReplyDeletehahaha I PROMISE!
ReplyDeleteCatLady, you could just knock of the Poin and go with the Dexter (if he's cute).
ReplyDeleteTrey, you sir, make me laugh!
After watching Dexter on Showtime, I don't know that I could ever date a Dexter either! Loved this post!
ReplyDeleteSince I am a sick woman,I adore Dexter! Okay, told you I'm sick!
ReplyDeletewell, im considered a sick woman also dexter keeps me coming back for more. i have dated slick before i even knew his name. what a disaster. a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteLoLo, he is about the cutest serial killer I've ever seen. Go figure!
ReplyDeleteBwah hahahah! I wouldn't. Which is why my hubby has a nice and normal name. ;) Sorta!
ReplyDeleteNice and normal is good Andrea, that is, good compared to bad and abnormal! LOL.
ReplyDeleteIf his name is Slick you might as well call him Tiger or better yet Cheetah :-)
ReplyDeleteWorst of all are the Slicks with the normal names... If their mothers, who raised them to be Slicks, had the good sense to name them Slick they would save us a lot of wasted time, dont you think? :). Good advice yet again Linda! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLinda, ok, not "normal" I meant to say "with any other name" lol!
ReplyDeleteGabby and Sylvia, you are both so right on!
