Slime For a Monday

I'm actually starting to do some publicity today. The show is called Three Takes and of course will air in January a full 3 months after the book is released. I'm sure I'll still have some copies.
Anyway it'll be good practice to go on and try and pimp the book.
Here's another slice of Slime Pie for you.

Slime in Thunder Bay

-Anonymous
This happened a couple of years ago.
This was my first boyfriend, named John . He went to university up in Thunder Bay…
After about four years of not seeing him or hearing from him, he phones me up and says, “Hey ya wanna come up this weekend for a visit.” MAYBE HE DIDN’T KNOW THEY WEREN’T TOGETHER ANYMORE.

Me being young and stupid I thought I’d go up and rekindle some of the things that we had. So I fly up to Thunder Bay, on a very last minute flight and it’s a lot of money. So I get up there and it’s like Thursday, and he picks me up from the airport and I’m wearing this stunning outfit, you know…OF COURSE I DO.
I’m looking good. So he helps me into the car, and rushes me out to… He goes “Are you hungry?” And I said “yeah.” So we drive up to a drive-in window at McDonald’s and he whips out a free French fry ticket…JUST FRIES, NO LITTLE BURGERS OR NOTHING.
He was scrounging for pennies. He only took me there cause he had a free coupon.
Then he takes me back to his place and he says “Well I gotta go to school.” And then he leaves. He leaves me in his apartment with nothing to do and then he comes back about six hours later, and he’s starts watching a hockey game…THIS GUY MAY NOT BE SLIMEY JUST A TWIT.At some point in the evening he turns to me and says, “I think you should go home.” I’m like “Huh??”
He said, “I think you should go home”I ask him why? And he says it’s not working out.
MAYBE SHE WAS BUGGING HIM FOR MORE FRIES.
Well, I picked up my own food, I picked up my own car just to see the town, and so I ended up at this seedy hotel and I’m going oh my god I have to pay all this extra money for the flight home… So I get home and everything, and a year later he phones to say hey maybe I should come up to Thunder Bay….YEAH CAUSE LAST TIME WAS SO MUCH FUN…….
