"7's and up don't date threes unless there's a reason."
The Meepster knows a thing or two about women. On Friday's program, Verno explained what happened with the whole Valentine's promotion train wreck. After winning the vote on the web page contest, Michelle called in Thursday morning (Valentine's day) to say that she had to work and wouldn't be able to go on the date with Roser. So the radio station puts a pic of the 2nd place finisher (Cindy) up on the web site and announces that this will be Roser's big date for Thursday night. Keep in mind that the station is providing flowers, gifts, and dinner at an upscale restaurant. Early Thursday afternoon she calls in and bails with an entry from her rolodex of excuses. Out of desperation (and complete lack of self-respect), Roser calls the last place chick (the red-head) and begs her to accompany him on an all expenses paid night on the town. No dice - she picks up the wiff of a loser over the phone line.
Late Thursday afternoon some guy calls the radio program and says he has connections. He guarantees that he can get Roser a date that night for Valentine's. Unfortunately, either word got out or they visited the web site and saw his mug and clown act on-line. The well-connected guy also strikes out.
With nothing more to lose at this point, Roser calls every girl on his cell phone list begging for a last minute date in an effort to avoid complete humiliation. But alas, this only adds to it. They all "had plans."
The whole idea of the valentine's date with Roser came up because Roser mentioned on the air one day that he hadn't had the "touch of a woman" in over a year - and the guy is in his early 20's.
Verno finally admitted in exasperation Friday afternoon that he had given up on Roser. He told him that he was on his own from now on. He tried to help the guy, but obviously he was a hopeless cause.
I'll wrap this up by repeating my initial comment on this thread:
"This just might be the most embarrassing Valentine's promotion ever"
