The way to a man's heart

I am a big jumbo slice fan, but this weekend when I was in Adams Morgan I was in the mood for something a little different. Falafel was not going to cut it, and then I remembered that McDonald's at the top of the hill! I purchased a double quarter pounder with cheese, and this was no ordinary fast food burger. It looked like the kind that are carefully crafted and made of paint and all sorts of fake stuff that isn't food and then used in the commercials and print ads.

So anyway, I am strolling down the hill on my way home, stilettos clicking, and biting into this amazingly wonderful cheeseburger. Obviously it is slow going, because the sidewalks are completely swarmed with people, some just observing the neary ambulances which are typical of Adams Morgan at 3am, others catcalling at me. (Actually I think everyone in Adams Morgan was doing one of those two things.)

Just as I was passing Kalorama, and thought I was in the clear, this guy (who looked perfectly ordinary) saw me out of his peripheral vision, turned and continued walking, and then a half second later whipped his head around at lightning speed and gave me the most suprised/overwhelemed/mesmerized look I may have ever seen. It was like there was too much to take in all at once and his brain couldn't process it all. A moment later he sort of shook his head and came back to Earth.

He walked a few steps forward, and I thought he was just going to continue on his way, but then turned around and said to me that he just had to explain himself. "You know how you feel when you see a really hot guy walking an adorable little puppy dog? The guy equivalent of that is a hot girl eating a really delicious looking burger."

I thanked him for the insight. However, thanks to the lovely face and bod of my beloved Paris Hilton and the ad whizzes that figured this out a few years back, I was already up to speed.

And as a last note- I do NOT like when I see hot guys walking cute puppies, because that means that they have a girlfriend. So.... what good is that to me? Likewise, there was no way he was getting a bite of that burger. :)
