A gentleman's guide to cheap dating...the world has gone insane...the Oklahoma AG is a Kansan we bet!

Welcome to Friday everybody. Hope it’s a good one for you. Here at The Compound we’re trying to stay up with all The Trump’s reversals on one thing or another that happened during the Helsinki trip.

But it doesn’t stop there…oh no! The world, or at least our little piece of it is going insane. While I’m beginning to think it all starts with The Trump, but it almost certainly doesn’t end with him. He’ll pin that someone else. Honestly, it’s more than Cousin Fred and I can possibly keep up with.

Let’s see, there was the news that the Oklahoma Attorney General (remarkably) told the group of doctors and pharmaceutical company execs who made up a bunch of impossible-to-comply-with rules regarding medical marijuana that they overstepped their authority and need to try again.

This from an Oklahoma AG? He can’t possibly be from this state! Bet he grew up in Kansas! Yeah, that’s it. It’s cheaper there you know.

Then there’s all the calls from people ratting other people out to the cops for being in the wrong neighborhood or barbecuing in the wrong spot in the park and then becoming famous (or, is it infamous?) for having done so, getting video of their call and/or mugshot on TV along with a social media nickname.

And, for goodness sake, then we must listen to all the drama spewing forth from Meghan Markle’s step-sister who’s still upset she wasn’t invited to the Royal Wedding. On and on and on.

I’m telling you, people in this country are completely nuts this summer. Bring on the winter when it’s too damned cold for anyone to be stirring up any trouble.

Or, as I’ve pointed out before, maybe this kind of stuff has been going on all along and we’re only now really aware of it since we seem to be living and breathing a 24-hour crap cycle.

But enough of your daily head-shred, here’s something you come to CCB for; that is, gaining insight into the foolish nonsense going on around us. It’s everywhere I’m tellin’ ya!

Take for instance the guy in Memphis (mugshot above) who asked an old acquaintance from his high school days out on a dinner date. Romeo Wannabe (hereafter, RW) shows up at the woman’s (we’ll call her Disappointed Date #1, or DD1 for short) home for their date, but had someone drop him off.

Hmmm…okay, but no huge deal. DD1 had a nice car and so off on their date they go. RW is driving around Memphis (it’s a big town) trying to decide where to take DD1 for dinner. Finally, he pulls in at a gas station near the airport and asks DD1 to go inside and buy him a cigar (pronounced see-gar in the mid-south).

With us so far?

DD1 who apparently likes the abuse and is a compliant sort of person does so and then notices RW driving away in her Volvo.

But wait, there’s more.

As DD1 was waiting for her mother to come pick her up, she received a text from a friend. The friend (whom we’ll call Disappointed Date #2, or DD2) was telling DD1 that RW just called to ask her out.

When DD1 was picked up by her mother they used a GPS tracking device in the car to find it.

It seems that RW allowed DD2 to drive her friend’s car and she drove them to a drive-in movie (they still have those in Memphis) where he revealed he didn’t actually have any money for a date so DD2 had to pay to get them into the movie.

Again, hmmm…but no big deal. You know this is starting to sound like an old Cheech and Chong movie script.

DD1 and her mother find them (RW and DD2) at the drive-in probably making out and sitting in her car.

Police were called at that point and RW was arrested. But guess what? It wasn’t RW’s first arrest, oh no! In 2016 he was arrested when he and two of his associates ate dinner at a restaurant before robbing the joint.

This really begs the question as to who got the cigar DD1 purchased at the gas station and who bought the popcorn at the drive-in? And, what movie was playing at the drive-in? So many question, too few answers.
​
That is all!
