A/The Sober Look

My friend came up with an idea last night. A blog called either "A Sober Look" or "The Sober Look" which would examine philosophical/any-other-topic ideas brought up and discussed while not sober and then rehashed when sober. (Pick which title you like better.) Jordy and Blake are the main characters, with guest appearances by their friends like Sasha and Jane.

The first topic of the blog would be about men fishing.

Blake's phone is ringing....
Blake: "Hello?"
Rufus: "Hey, are you guys still at Sasha's?"
Blake: "No."
Rufus: "Well what're you doing?"
Blake: "Just hanging out, going to bed very soon."
Rufus: "Alright, well, I have to get some more work done. I guess I should've known when I called that you guys were home already."
Blake: "Yea, its late, I'll talk to you later."

Jordy: "Have you ever noticed that men fish when they call girls? First they say, what're you doing? so that they can feel you out to see if they can be part of your plans. Then they slowly keep asking questions so that you give up more information and eventually end up inviting them along. It's a natural progression."

Jordy explained that it is an even clearer attempt at fishing when the guy says "Hey, what're you doing tonight?" No matter what the girl responds with, the guy will fish and fish for an invitation to come over until the end of the conversation. Blake was sure that all people fish in a conversation to a certain end. "Businesses call each other all the time and fish for information, not for sex!" So maybe everyone fishes.

When Jordy and Blake read A/The Sober Look, they will probably realize that they didn't sound too dumb, but they definetly are not as smart as they thought they were. But they are celebrating slow time, so at least they had time to sit down and think about life....and fishing.
