THATS THE POINT of having it...

Again sorry to be rude but really???

Sorry haydendillon, you weren't here when all this came about so you wouldn't understand the inside joke.
That thread belongs in the TRF Hall of Fame.

I give up on this thread. By all means, wear a diamond 18K Rolex on your first date. Seems like a great idea to a lot of people.

Nice. My only takeaway line from Ronin was, "Le patron va controlle l'argent." Hah. Great movie.

One of my all-time favorite movies!! That chase around Paris is IMHO the best car chase ever done in a movie. I love that lady driving the bimmer like there's no tomorrow.

+1

But non-sarcastically, depends on the person you'll go out with and your intentions. If she is the Kim K type, and you're looking to hook up with a gold digger, than a frosted golden piece seems a good idea. Otherwise, I'd choose the Sub (at max), better in black but green will do as well, and play it cool.

Most important: don't go with a loaded gun. (There is something about Mary). Wind up the power reserve.

Dom Woganowski: You choke the chicken before any big date, don't you? Tell me you spank the monkey before any big date. Oh my God, he doesn't flog the dolphin before a big date. Are you crazy? That's like going out there with a loaded gun! Of course that's why you're nervous. Oh my dear friend, please sit, please. Look, um, after you've had sex with a girl, and you're lying in bed with her, are you nervous? No, you're not, why?
Ted Stroehmann: Cause I'm tired...
Dom Woganowski: Wrong! It's 'cause you ain't got the baby batter on the brain anymore! Jesus, that stuff will fuck you're head up! Look, the most honest moment in a man's life are the few minutes after he's blown his load - now that is a medical fact. And the reason for it is that you're no longer trying to get laid, you're actually... you're thinking like a girl, and girls love that.

If I had your DD meteorite I would.

You could use the line to your date

'Did it hurt? when you fell from the heavens..Just like my watch did'

That should seal the deal

Most women aren't watch people. My fiancé didnt know I wore a Rolex for over a month until she picked it up and looked at it. I wore it everytime we were together. Wear the watch.

Girlfriends are temporary, but a Rolex is forever.
