The Devil MADE me do it!

[Marxist]

I heard this as an ad for the Atlanta Thrashers on the radio, so I claim no real authorship:

You and your best friend and his girlfriend (or boyfriend as the case may be) are at hockey game and your best friend goes to the refreshment stand as the period ends.

As soon as he's gone, the KISSING CAMERA (shown on the Big Screen) begins randomly panning the crowd for victims. The Kissing Camera frames couples on dates while the crowd screams and implores the two to kiss for their amusement. Those that don't make kissy are soundly hissed and laughed at by 20,000 or more strangers.

Suddenly, the camera is on you and your best friend's girl (or man). Your faces are a mile wide on the Big Screen and framed by a cartoon heart. What do you do? Kiss and write it off as a goof? Cover your face in embarrassment? Get up and run as little children mock you for being a puscateur and loser?

The kicker: Your friend sees the image as he's standing in line (Philips Arena has more flat panel TV's than any hockey or basketball arena in the world).

kiss

preferably with tongue

I'd kiss her in a heart beat. Hell I might even go for a grope if I thought I could get away with it.

 

[Mike Hammer]

Marxist are you this desperate for thread topics?



Hell who wouldn't kiss? It's a hockey game, they're used to fights.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Is this really a debate topic? I'd kiss... and I'd make it a kiss worthy of the big screen.

Funny thing, as much as I like my best friend's wife, I stood as best man at the wedding and kind of agreed to help "safeguard" the vows in times of crisis.

I don't think it would be as easy as everyone is making it out to be.

But what do I know, I probably should try and fuck her huh? I mean, he went to the refreshment stand. That's practically abandonment for Christsakes.

 

[seXieleXie]

nope, couldn't do it. wouldn't kiss him. i wouldn't feel comfortable and my friend wouldn't like it. i'm not one to submit to peer pressure like that.

 

[Calamity Jane]

But what do I know, I probably should try and fuck her, huh?

It's only a kiss. Not even remotely the same thing as sex. I know for a fact that my best friend would be ok with it, too. Maybe that's where the difference lies. She wouldn't care if it was a lighthearted kiss for the cameras (which is what it would be) and neither would I.

 

[estevie]

What a silly question...to me anyway!

Of course I would kiss! Never hesitate for a sec!

 

[Moridin187]

Nope,
There are just certain things you don't do, kissing your best friend's g/f is one of them.

 

[Mellon Collie]

I would kiss them.

A kiss to me, means something. And if I've got my friend standing by the refreshments, and she sees me lip-locked with her guy, how the hell do you think she would feel? Embarassed as all hell! Angry! Sad! Many different emotions, trust me. I've had past boyfriends do the same thing in front of my face with my "best friends."

It's not that it's just a kiss, and nothign major like sex, it's all the emotions that come attached to that kiss.

That's why I posted this. It's a no-win. Either you sit there like a total loser for the remainder of the game with 20,000 meatheads looking and pointing ("hey, there's that guy who wouldn't even kiss his date"). Or you have to try and explain the unexplainable to your best friend and hope he would have done the same if the shoe was on the other foot.

Personally, I wouldn't do it. My best friend is psychotic and wouldn't be outwardly mad but become a wounded animal and suspicious every time I was alone with his wife.

 

[Jessie]

I hear you, Marx. My best friend is actually more of the introvertive type, though. Unfortunately, she would blame what happened on herself, just like I used to do, and tell herself how undesireable she was. I can't do that to my best friend. How the fuck can I call myself her best friend if I did?

Marxy

it's all because he has microchocopenis envy.

 

[Calamity Jane]

Because it's a lighthearted, social thing. It isn't as if you cornered her man in a dark corner and kissed him... it's a HOCKEY GAME, not exactly an intimate setting, (no matter how horny hockey players make me) and when she saw us on the monitors, she'd know what was up. We're best friends because she trusts me, and she'd know that a silly kiss in front of cameras wasn't an attempt at stealing her man. *shrug* i guess my best friend and i are more secure than other people. (which i find really fucking scary)

I agree...its an innocent kiss...it's not like I'm slipping him the the tongue and feeling him up in the corner!

If that was my dick in your avatar's mouth she wouldn't have to make that funny face or see a surgeon after she distended the muscles in her jaw.

I know it's unpronouncable but I want you to call me that wherever I go. Thanks.

i see...
but that's not what you wanted me to call you last night.... fry daddy

Shhh....that's supposed to be between you and me.

And look at you, you've thrown off a completely legitimate discussion of fidelity to discuss personal matters. There are people that need this advice and I want to be there to give it to them.












You're still my favorite Peach Bottom!

 

[Texan]

ok...maybe it's just me.... BUT

There is something wrong with this picture....

Why is this guy sitting BETWEEN his girlfriend and HER best friend? I mean shouldn't the girlfriend be sitting in the middle? If the girlfriend got up to go to the concession stand, shouldn't there be an empty seat between these two.... ??? The "kiss cam" would never pick these two out of a croud if there was an empty seat between them.

(If you reverse the genders of these people, the seating arrangement makes even less sense.)

AND, why is the girlfriend going to the concession stand by herself during intermission??? What kind of jerk doesn't go with or for his girlfriend? And don't tell me she was really going to the restroom..... if that were the case, the best friend would have gone with her.... Everyone knows a woman can't possibly go to the restroom alone....

despite the fact that this comment no longer applies since I've changed my Av, the fact still remains that I honestly believe he has microchocopenis envy.

You have yet to respond to this observation.
