Date Night Too

I was verging on putting fingers to keyboard to regale you with my date night adventures when I noticed that a blog I follow, The Sassy Curmudgeon, had already posted a date night scribble.  Drat!  This poophead, and I mean that only in the nicest of possible ways, beat me to the blogosphere.  Now what the hell do I bore you with?

Well, first off, you should take a gander at this lady's blog.  She is a very entertaining writer.  And, second:  Damn the torpedoes, it's full speed ahead with my date night story.  So there, Sass!

Like Sassy and her hubby, my bride and I went to see the movie Date Night for our Saturday night date night.  We went to the Cobb CineBistro in Hyde Park where the theater polizei do not allow hooter hollering, or cell phoning, or any other miscreant behavior.  To me there is only one way to vacation on a cruise ship and that is with a balcony suite.  Likewise, there is only one way to go out to a movie and that is at a venue like the Cobb CineBistro.  In addition to comfy rocking seats and spacious surroundings the Cobb serves some pretty decent food...and, beer...and, wine.

I sorta enjoyed the movie, especially Tina Fey's pole dance scene.  She has a rather cute butt, but I digress.  My fair maiden had the hamburger and sweet potato fries both of which she said were excellent.  I opted for the ubiquitous, but satisfying, sesame seared tuna salad.  Instead of wine this time we ordered a bucket of beer.  I was pleased that we didn't just get a bucket filled with beer.  There were five bottles of our choice in a bucket of ice, and that lasted to the end of the movie.

A highlight of my evening was a power failure that plunged the theater into darkness.  After the power was restored we were blessed with a blank screen.  An employee came around to say that the projection equipment was being re-booted and the movie was being backed up to where the power shut off.  Why a highlight, you may ask?  This was just like putting your movie on pause at home so that you can take that much needed pee and not miss anything.  There should be a pause button at the Cobb, but I suppose that could create problems unless everyone was on the same pee schedule.  We could be there all evening, and then some.

Even though the food and the adult beverages were better than the movie, we still had a most enjoyable date night.  Thanks for asking.

Hooters!
