I hate this. It varies in France based on which part of the country you're in so it's impossible to keep track of who needs how many cheek kisses. It also varies by country. All I remember now is that Poland is two. If it turns out that Krakow is three I'm going to go and cry.

Ok, this is all becoming just a little bit pathetic. It was the "half my net worth" bit that dragged it over the line from "mildly diverting" incase you're wondering.

If your net worth at 25 or whatever is 100k or so, you need to stop being so cheap when you go out

no way, if you're foreign it's the best in France. You just snap-go for 2 kisses every time and don't really ever have to feel weird about it.

Pretty sure most people want GCG to get his comeuppance, understandably enough. It's the type of thing that attracts attention.

(I'm not in the camp rooting for GCG to get his comeuppance. Well I am, but not necessarily on this bet.)

He also once argued with me about one Parks & Rec character being funnier than another. Like 30 minutes later he admitted he'd never seen an episode and didn't really know who the characters were. Point being, he doesn't require himself to actually have knowledge of a topic in order to speak with some kind of imaginary authority on it.

Let's not spin fairy tales and say that you actually sat there and calculated a line with any kind of deep thought process. You threw a big square number out there as an attempt at a sick burn (not one that I think was too far off, mind you) without serious expectation that someone was going to call you on it and corner you into booking the action.

50:1 odds for this is beyond absurd.

It's a bloated line, but make no mistake, if Gus didn't know about the bet and wouldn't find out about it, GCG would be printing free money by booking at basically any odds. Of course, the whole point for him was trying to show Gus up publicly, so he may have shot himself in the foot that way.

Re: "Ask Out A Girl" Thread: Home of A+ GG TRs

im guessing GCG isnt taking more action on this?

im not looking to cripple him but would like to be part of this. i'll bet $20, $50, $100 or whatever if he's willing to take the acton.

also, do we know if gus is black?

I just want you to know that I've made many attempts to get GCG to begin responding to all of your posts, and one day I hope we'll get there. For now he's still scared of you.

Waiting for Mullen to confirm action is booked. Once he does that, I'll make a detailed post answering some questions.

Bet is not booked yet. GCG is usually on in the afternoon and very late at night because of his time zone. I had to sleep last night but tonight I will be up late so we should cross paths and hopefully get the bet fully booked.

Where the hell does GCG live? I thought he was in the US.
