So what concerts do you go to that you want to go to? You went to that "The Band" tribute show you wrote me that the boys wanted to see, and this Aerosmith show the boys wanted to see. What about that Belamy Bros(?) show. Was that your choice or theirs. Where does a Lemon go for musical entertainment! Also don't look up love on an escalator because you get videos of people touching strangers on passing escalators.

Well let's see. The concerts that we went to that were "just for me" were Stevie Wonder where he did his whole Songs in the Key of Life album, and then the Queen concert last summer. That was the pinnacle of concerts for me, and I was on the 10th row. Oh my gosh! I just realized I forgot to tell the board that I saw Brian May!

Well, for anyone who cares I got to see Brian May up VERY close and personal! Here, I'm going to post a picture I took that night... one moment...

Brian May

See how he looks a little perplexed? That's because they never put him on TBBT. And his shirt has stars because he's an astrophysicist.

Hold on there! Where is this 75 story escalator? That's just crazy. Can't be one super long one. Or was it 75 one story escalators.

Well I might have exaggerated a little. But it was definitely 3 stories. It was how you were supposed to exit the DC metro.

Supposed to exit. Implying that you exited in another fashion?

Hee hee. Did you actually expect that I would exit in a normal way? Well, at least we're in a thread about being dorky... Here goes...

When we exited the metro train car (which was way too "big city" for me by the way- it was confusing and scary), the only way up and out onto the street level was what we'll call "the escalator to heaven". There were actually several of them side by side. Well, despite Mr. Lemons' urgings I would not go near them, but we did find a much smaller, thinner escalator around the corner which took us up into a store- maybe Macy's? Well that just took us into the home furnishings department which was still underground and we waited and waited for the elevator that was inside the store but it was slow and already full of people and a huge cart of merchandise (and I might have had a small conniption fit about that) so we took the skinny, non-scary escalator back down into the metro dungeon to find another way out. Well, in walking about in the metro dungeon trying to find another way out I accidentally went through some gate that I shouldn't have which somehow invalidated my return ticket to get back to the hotel later (which might have led to another conniption fit) and really, all I wanted was a stinking elevator but there was none to be found, so finally I saw... (imagine harp music and choir singing) a broken escalator that wasn't moving at all! I climbed that one all the way to the street like a stairway (3 stories high!) and by the time I got to the street I was heaving and panting from climbing that many steps but I made it! And Mr. Lemons and the young lemons came along behind me with bags on their heads.

The End.

Awww! So cute. To go through all of that just to make you happy. You certainly are one special kind of lemon to warrent that treatment.

I have my good points. Ascension by moving staircase just isn't one of them.

Now how about you tell me something dorky YOU'VE done??

Are you sure that's just "dorky" rather than "phobic?"

My phobia caused me to act in a dorky way. Or at least an embarrassing way, which is what I'm getting at in this thread. Things that we did where we embarrassed ourselves. I ain't seen you put in an entry yet! (Hands on hips and foot tapping...)

Define Dorky. Because the way I see it every one else's dorky is my everyday way of doing things. True dorkiness lacks any sense of personnel embarrassment or awareness.

Aww Z. Just something awkward/clumsy/embarrassing. "Dorky" was just a silly word I used. Like have you ever given a speech with a stalk of asparagus hanging out of your mouth? Or fell off the stage while performing a glockenspiel solo?

I was expecting this thread to be a bit more give and take. I tell something embarrassing about me, others do the same back and forth. Wonder and Tim get the gold stars so far for telling stories on themselves, but the dorky balance is still heavily in my favor.

I'm going to head to bed. That gives you plenty of time to think.

Okay let me come back. By the way doesn't performing a glockenspeil solo or just using the word glockenspeil enough. Does one to fall off a stage as well? Do I have to be embarrassed or do other people have to give me the dork look so I know that I should be embarrased.?

I'm adding more tickles to your tally sheet for all these questions. I've had to start a new page.

Me editing and rewriting my posts must be dorky. Especially since you answered them before I was done
