Laurence - Everybody's a loser in The Dating Game
Sally sipped her drink and sighed.
Bachelor Number One was a lawyer. An excellent dancer, but a total asshole when drunk. She had the scars to prove it..
Bachelor Number Two was a mechanic. All he did was talk about cars, work on cars, and he often came to bed without washing his greasy, grimy hands.
Bachelor Number Three lived in his parents' basement. He wore pajamas and insulted liberal journalists on the Internet all day.
Sally reached into her purse, flicked a switch, and felt a reassuring hum.
As usual, she ended up going home with "Bachelor Number Four."

Hey Laurence, I think my Dating Game post might have beat yours by a few minutes.....anyway, I'm honored to be thinking alike with your great mind today.

Amazing how people think alike, but I think it has more to do with the themes triggering common memories like television shows.

Well, my first instinct was an "Animal House" frat boy story (quickly discarded for being way too cliche), followed by the "gay" story (instinctively rejected by my PC tendencies), which finally led to the "Dating Game" - provoked by 3 guys looking like they were at a party competing for attention from the ladies. What was your thought process, if I might ask?
