Seducing a man should be easier than normal in this new American climate, don't you think? Hope and courage; peace and love. There are people predicting the next Sixties and I want to take my clothes off. But this is northern Michigan in November, don't forget.
"Aren't you just so proud to be American right now?" I ask him. I want to reach out and pull him down on top of me. Peace and love; let's sink into this couch.
"Sure," he says, answering my question for the tenth time. I've been trying to get to him through patriotism, but the only sinking feeling I'm getting is that the man I'm trying to seduce does not want to be seduced. Hope and courage. I wonder if he even realises how attractive he is? All forearm and shoulder; bright teeth and pale eyes.
"I wish I had a little bit of American in me," I sigh.

I think it would be more than a little.
ReplyDeleteI'd hope, anyway.
ReplyDelete"I wish I had a little bit of American in me"
ReplyDeleteNo? You didn't really say this?!? Reminds me of Saturday nights in the Albion in Town, when I was seventeen and some farmer asking "Got any Welsh in you?" And then the inevitable follow-up line. Shudder.
Anonymous: Eh, I'll never know now, hey. Your loss, sucka.
ReplyDeleteSo then drinks in Chicago are out? :-(
ReplyDeleteOh no! This is a bummer. Maybe a dab of patchoulli will bring out the free love? On second thought...

ReplyDeleteI've always been under the impression that getting laid in the US is a piece of piss for anyone with a "British" (sic) accent. If this proves to be a myth I will not be a happy bunny at all, especially after the hours of study I dedicated to American mating rituals (ie watching a whole season of Sex and the City).
Maybe American men prefer to do the seducing themselves?
dear oh dear, i thought you'd made your intentions perfectly clear last time...better luck next stop.
ReplyDeleteI thought only irish boys used that pickup line... it always worked on me though. :P Better luck next time Annie.
ReplyDeleteSince it's northern Michigan in November, it probably would be more little than normal.
ReplyDeletehee hee Annie, keep on trying though, perseverance is the American dream.
ReplyDeletebest take on the coming year so far :)
ReplyDeletei missed the last sixties by about 20 years..
Sorry to hear that project didn't quite work out. Better luck in Colorado? Or wherever you're headed next...
ReplyDeleteWTF? I'm from Michigan, and didn't score to well there either. I told ya to come to Florida! Too easy here heheheh. Lots of sad Republicans that I won't slide skin with on a bet.
