kiddie ride from hell..

So yeah, its exactly what it sounds like! But first, a little background! Well, me and my girlfriend (Ohsodianne), are known to do so weird stuff when we go out on our "dates". We've done a LOT actually. Joining a Gundam customizing event, went around riding Segways, and splurging on "piso machines" in Tom's World. Yup, we definitely go for the road-less-traveled. And today was no exception! Okay on with it then! So, we went out earlier today. As I was heading to our meeting place at SM City Marikina, I noticed a kiddie-ride version of a mechanical bull. You know, the kind that bucks and spins around. As we passed it again, I kiddingly pointed out the ride to Ohsodianne. Being ones to not let an opportunity pass, we decided to give it a shot (Haha! Worked like a charm). But, as we watched kids play on the bull, I couldn't hide my disappointment. The bull was freakin' slow! Like it was running on hamster power. I quickly folded and asked to just let it go, but being the "supporter" - yes, sarcasm - that Ohsodianne is, she didn't let me back out from it. She urged me to approach the "kuya" technician and ask him to trick out the ride for us. Surprisingly, with a smile (well more like an evil grin) on his face, he went along with our little "scheme". So, having that sense of excitement again, I hastily jumped on the bull and braced for the ride! Needless to say, I soon found out that bit off more than I can chew with that --- The bull threw me to the ground in like 3 seconds flat. Haha! Well I asked for it.. But undeterred by my 3 second throw down with the bull, I bucked up and got up on it again. As an end result --- 4 agonizing minutes of man vs machine.. Unfortunately, the machine won (boo!) - all caught on video, mind you. Atop of that, as if things weren't ego-crushing enough, Ohsodianne tried her hand on the tricked-out kiddie ride. NOT ONCE did she kiss the ground! Haha. -Manhood shrinking- Oh well, it was a good experience at least! As my parting words: Kiddie rides hurt like hell! Haha! At least it was fun and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Well thats it for now! I gotta go ice my thighs.. :)) Cheers! Hit me back with your own idea gone insanely wrong - assuming you have em!

This is funny and sounds like a great evening together. It also shows that girls can do things as good as or better than guys can. My husband and I were talking about bull riding last night. I think that the thrill of it would be worth the fall from it. I would love to ride a bull. Keep having the fun interesting dates!

Thanks carolcash! Yes, Ohsodianne and I really had a great time together. It beats the movies any day! :D and yes, the thrill was so worth the fall! Though it may hurt after a while but the laughs are priceless. :) I hope you and your husband get to try bull riding some day. I'm sure you guys will enjoy it as well!

If anyone starts picking on you just tell them "I'm used to BEING the bull!"
