First-date killer: Creepiest accessory?

[Robb]

Poll question: First-date killer: Creepiest accessory?

So in you go, "Hey, how's it --- what's THAT?!?" :scared:

What's nature's way of saying "this date ends now?"

[TroubleMan]

1. For a guy....have dolls....lots of dolls....pink ones

nt.

[liberalhistorian]

2. Robb, you're talking to a gal

who just turned forty and who's been single all of her life, and who is the "expert" on the joys and heartaches and faux pas of first dates. Trust me on this one. The 16 monogrammed litter boxes are DEFINITELY a date-killer, no question. Hope that helps! B-)

[TahitiNut]

16. Yep. The rest are "outside interests".

:silly:

[Zuni]

35. what about a giant taxidermy collection? Or John Wayne Gacy's brain?

[TahitiNut]

39. Those are still 'outside interests' ... not at all like 16 catboxes.

Taxidermy would be a better reason to have 16 or more cats. :evilgrin:

[Elidor]

3. Train Set Killers

You've just given birth to a hilarious meme. :)

[blondeatlast]

52. Or a great band name. nt

[SOteric]

4. Finding his collection of antique gynocological instruments

:shrug:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Aargh! Like the movie "Dead Ringers"? Creepy... Definitely a deal-killer.

[DS1]

7. Hell, a love for that movie is creepy enough, let alone the tools

depicted :scared:

I'd take a Hugh Grant movie over Dead Ringers if I were watching with a girl I was feeling amorous towards...

( I hate Hugh Grant - but at least he doesn't make me cringe in a medical sense )

[Strawman]

6. Any kind of clown shit n/t

[A-Schwarzenegger]

9. Funny.

[Kat45]

8. Rubber sheets.

'nuff said.

[Lautremont]

10. Merkins spread casually across the coffee table.

Here's a visual aid, but be warned, it's an unflinching depiction of merkins:

[pres2032]

11. what in the name of all that's Holy is that?!

:wow:

[Lautremont]

12. Merkins, don't you know.

Wouldn't you like to be a merkin too?

[ComerPerro]

14. OMFG what the hell?

[Zuni]

27. Oh my....

that is disturbing in so many ways

[Beaverhausen]

38. this part of the description is too damn funny!

"Our patented design includes a plug on the back side of the merkin to hold it in place. This provides easy on/easy off convenience and a bit of a thrill for the wearer. Specify small, medium, or large size."

[ComerPerro]

13. Pictures of *

Back issues of The Weekly Standard, more than 5 American Flags.

[Downtown Hound]

15. Excessive crucifixes, American flags,

an SUV, yellow ribbons, and any pictures of fearless leader around.

[hunter]

19. A huge SUV with Bush-Cheney bumper stickers would kill it for me.

I'm so glad I'm married.

Before I met my wife my dates tended to think my cameras, notebooks, scientific calculator, funny hats, giant sunglasses, and holstered geology rock hammer were "creepy" accessories.

Oh yeah, I kept all my dirty laundry in the back seat of my car too.

[ProgressiveConn]

32. Is a yellow ribbon really a deal breaker?

That one really surprised me. =)

[Downtown Hound]

42. The whole list really fell under "excessive"

Maybe I didn't make that clear in my wording. A single crucifix wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, neither would an American flag or a yellow ribbon. But when someone has them plastered all over the place, then that's most definitely a deal breaker. That's what I meant to say.

On edit: The one exception would be the SUV. I just hate those things, and I could never seriously date a woman who drove one. Besides, she'd probably dump me first, because I'd always be giving her grief about it.

[Bouncy Ball]

17. An unidentifiable creature he named "Oscar."

[A-Schwarzenegger]

18. That would *kill* the date??!?

[Worst Username Ever]

25. But... but.. Oscar can talk!

[Seabiscuit]

20. Other - a rubber mackerel in his pants

[A-Schwarzenegger]

21. That's better than a mackerel rubber.

[Zuni]

31. or live fish being stuffed into his briefs

[Misunderestimator]

22. Nun chuks

Actually had a guy in college bring them with him on a date... scared me just a wee bit...



Worse though was when he started demonstrating them... :eyes:

[A-Schwarzenegger]

24. Nun.

[Misunderestimator]

26. I also went out with an Episcopal priest who wore her collar on the one...

date we had.

(The nun thing reminded me of that for some reason :) )

[CottonBear]

23. Phone company helps end date hell

The Australians have got a solution:

Phone company helps end date hell

Thu Feb 10, 7:41 AM ET

CANBERRA (Reuters) - It's every single person's nightmare: You're on a date, it's a disaster but there's no way out.

With Valentine's Day (news - web sites) looming, a mobile phone company in Australia has come to the rescue with a service offering an escape from the date from hell.

All you have to do is discreetly dial three numbers and then hang up without saying a word.

"Virgin Mobile will call them back a minute later with a perfect excuse to get them out of there. We'll even talk them through what to say," the company, a joint venture of the Virgin Group and Optus, said in a statement on Thursday.

[Zuni]

28. now that is service!

That phone company is there for their customers

[Zuni]

29. I would have to say a collection of enema bags

that one guy who killed himself with sherry enemas had a number of warning signs

[Zuni]

30. A fridge full of haggis

[barb162]

33. a person with snakes and other exotic animals...I always wonder

why certain people have tarantulas, piranhas, etc. Attention-getting? Trying to show how unique they are? A long time ago I had ONE date with this guy and he had piranhas in a fish tank...I couldn't wait to end that date

[Zuni]

37. as long as the tarantula is not inserted into various orifices

I can handle it

[barb162]

43. you're braver than I am, LOL

[4_Legs_Good]

34. Train set???

is a date killer?

I'm glad I'm married!

david

[Zuni]

36. The father in Silver Spoons would have S.O.L.

Ricky Schroeder too

[d_b]

40. The train set option made me laugh

I don't know why.

[kmla]

41. A full size mural of Mama's Family. Painted on the ceiling. Nude.

In the dining room.

May be a deterrent to a second date.

[blondeatlast]

53. That took some imagination on your part...

or did it?

Hmmmm... disturbing.

[Floogeldy]

44. The Elephant Man's bones

But hey, come on! Police Scanners aren't creepy. Sometimes it can be exciting to listen, as when there is a auto or foot pursuit. Especially when it ends up in your backyard!

[SarahB]

45. A strait girl with a strap-on?

:shrug:

[bobbobbins]

47. hmm...that would guarantee her a second date with me

[Redleg]

46. A whole chicken, jar of vaseline, and a breast-pump.

EOM

[AlienGirl]

48. A garotte and two shovels...

[WoodrowFan]
