Me: Why don't you ever take me riding in a sailplane?
D: What's a sailplane?
Me: I don't know.
D: Then how do you know you want to go riding in one?
Me: Well, J (ex-crush/current bud) is taking some woman sailplane riding this weekend. So I think you should take me.
D: Oh, your just jealous that J isn't taking YOU sailplane riding.
Me: No, If that were the case, I'd ask him about it. I'm asking you.
D: You don't even know what you're asking me to do.
Me: Well, we'd find out. It's sailing. It's planing. What couldn't you like about that? Maybe it's like one of those planes that you land in the water.
D: You mean like the spruce goose?
Me: No. I mean like Fantasy Island.
D: There's no water around here. We live right next to a runway.
Me: There is the whole PACIFIC OCEAN!
D: You can't land a sailplane in the Pacific Ocean.
Me: How do you know?
D: Because it's hang gliding, you jump off a mountain and sail down to the ground.
Me: No, it's not. It's like Fantasy Island.
D: There is no sailing involved in those type of planes. That's not what it is, its hang gliding. And you would kill yourself. You have to be trained to do that.
Me: If it was hang gliding, he would call it hang gliding. It's sailplaning. And I think you'd need training to sailplane, too. It's like being a pilot.
D: No it's just another word for hang gliding. Maybe it's a regional thing. We call it hang gliding in the Midwest and out here they call it sailplaning.
Me: Well either way, we should go sometime. We need to do something fun.
D: I'm not running off the side of a mountain. That isn't fun. You don't even know what it is.
Me: Well, it's a date thing. So it has to be fun.
D: Lisa, there are a lot of things that couples do on dates that I know you would not think is fun. Some people go to bondage clubs on dates.
Me: I don't think sailplaning can be anything like whips and chains. It's sailplaning. It's too pretty of a name to be S&M.
D: I don't know. Jumping off the side of a mountain while holding on to a little triangle attached to butterfly wings could end up being S&M.
Me: IT'S NOT HANG GLIDING!
D: Yes, it is.
Me: When we get home, I'm going to look it up and prove you the hell wrong. And when I do, you have to take me sailplaning.
D: And if you prove me right, I'm not going to take you hang gliding.
Me: Fine.
D: Fine.
***************
Epilogue
Me: ITS NOT HANG GLIDING! I win.
D: It's not Fantasy Island either, so no you don't.
Me: That wasn't the deal.
D: Yes, it was.
Me: No, it wasn't.
D: I'm not arguing about this. I wouldn't even know where or how to go sailplaning.
Me: Then lets go in a hot air balloon.
D: No. I'm bored of talking about this.
Me: So what do you want to talk about?
D: Electrical Circuits.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS! hahahaha!! Actually I googled it too. How very cool... http://www.geocities.com/demciau/gliding I think you could both go together, probably with an experienced flyer in the front of the cockpit. I bet you get towed by another airplane then you glide for miles in the silence. i bet that is the coolest most romantic thing ever. The bondage club date cracked me up since I would do that. btw, bondage isn't whips and chains.... have you ever smelt hemp rope? I don't even have anyone to tie up (though you can do pretty parcel-wrapping japanese knots all over someone fully dressed without them being restrained in any manner
http://www.luvbight.com/public/2003q4/luvbight-dr/luvbight-dr-Pages/Image35.html ...there isn't any nudity in that pic)... and I bought some hemp rope just cuz it smells so nice. I bet you could tie D up with hemp rope and put him in the back of the glider, maybe add a ballgag?? LOL! I hope you get to go sailplaning.
