This story is something that happened after serving in the Navy for only a couple of years and while I was attending a follow-on school in Virginia. One of my best friends was stationed on a ship there. His name was Chris and he was a green eyed Mexican/Colombian who could pull strange like it was going out of style. I swear, his ability to get into the panties of random strangers made me nauseous sometimes, except of course when he managed to pull in a pair of female friends and I benefited from his skills.
One summer he made the acquaintance of a couple of beautiful blondes Megan and Whitney, two VA Beach tourists from Maine who were visiting for the summer. They wanted to get out of the area for a day so Chris suggested that we go up to Paramount's Kings Dominion outside of Richmond which was a couple of hours away. We woke early on a Saturday and drove up, making a day of it. Theme parks offer plenty of time for conversation to get to know each other while waiting in line for the rides and gave us an opportunity to chat up the girls in a quiet but public setting. The only downfall was if we didn't hit it off, the long ride home had the potential of being incredibly awkward but at least the roller coasters would provide enough entertainment that the day wouldn't be a complete wash. All in all though, the park itself was a blast and we did a lot of flirting and talking through out the day. It really was a great idea for a first date.
We finished up at the park and decided to hit up a Mexican restaurant in Richmond we heard about from a friend. The place was tiny, dark and dirty - all key elements to look for when choosing a quality Mexican restaurant in the US. It was downtown and the plan was to find a bar in the city afterwards. We had a couple of drinks with dinner and as soon as we left the restaurant we were greeted with blaring, deep bass music thumping from somewhere nearby. Of course we immediately headed in that direction.
After turning the corner a block away we saw a line of people on the sidewalk, down the road with a couple of security guards taking the cover fee out front. There wasn't a bar sign above the doorman indicating the establishment's name but we thought we'd go in and check it out anyways. We started heading that way and just before we get there a pair of gigantic meat heads emerged from a shop next door, stopping us dead in our tracks.
They were only wearing black knee-high boots and matching speedos!
