I'm stupid for BSB!

[BSBGeezerFan]

Ever done any really embarrassing, idiot thing connected with BSB or because of BSB or because you were in BSB thrall at the time?


Going through the KFC (no, not Ketucky's Finest Cousins, although if you could get a serving of that at a drive thru...) drive-thru, I was ordering for The Hater and all of a sudden I couldn't hear B&B (my radio died long ago and is so old it has a cassette player, so I carry my portable CD player in the car with headphones, yes, I know). I jiggled the player and even replugged the hp's into the auxiliary jack. Nothing, wouldn't come above loud whisper. I'm banging on it (lightly) and coming unglued because I'm not going to be able to hear B&B for all of the 5 minutes it takes to get home when it occurs to me why I couldn't hear it. The headphones were on the floor, not my head. I never let embarrassment get in the way of a good story. Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens a LOT which is one reason I'm such an easy mark for The Hater http://smilecwm.tripod.com/cwm/silly.gif.

During this summer's action figure craze, I bullied a teenage BK worker into opening a case of Ninja Nickys against her will. I'd read all the posts about the JB on the Ninja figure, and I was so jealous that our BKs got Nicky last.

So the last week of the promotion arrives ...There I was, at the height of the lunch hour crush, with my best friend who is supportive of my BSB insanity (but still thinks it's primarily because of my love and support for my nieces). She is NOT into scenes, and had to suffer through me repeatedly shrieking at this recalcitrant twit to get me a Nicky, and get him NOW. I can still see the look on my friend's face -- it was a grand combination of horror and amusement. Not my best day, but I got my ninja boy and an order of the world's worst fries...and all was right with my world.

She's only told about a thousand people about me kicking ass to get a toy at BK...my reputation is shot!

Oh, lord . . I'm blushing already . .

I used to work the late shift at the local Osco and got hit on nightly by nasty men, so I got to saying I had a boyfriend *which I didn't at the time*. One night this guy came in with his roughly eight year old daughter. And, my luck, he started w/my line . . "I have a boyfriend and he'll kill you, etc." So he asks me my BF's name. I say Nick and, my luck again, he asked Nick What?. I should've just finished ringing him and shut my mouth, but I didn't. Out of my mouth came Carter . . the man arched a brow *think Kevin* and said "The Backstreet Boy?" His daughter heard this and went completely ape''''. "You're dating a BSB? Can you . . will you . . etc." So I am *purple* and my manager/supervisor/coworkers are standing about five feet away and they are just dying . . I got called Mrs Carter for a couple weeks . . had a nice to ring to it . . but I was mortified . .

Then, when BK came out in my area, the manager happened to be someone who I graduated from HS with . . and I managed to make a scene there, too .. but that's a whole nother story . .

The best for me was standing patiently in burger king here on Long Island, waiting for the manager (i'm on weight watchers, so no-go on the food) and waiting.... while a gaggle of girls pours in, laughing and pointing at the BSB stuff, commenting on how the other band is better :mad: and finally, the manager comes out to see me.

They're all staring and looking, as I explain to the manager that I am the girl who *reserved* the huge ass display inside, and how I was here to claim it.

She was nice enough to help me with that 7 foot structure into my dad's beat up station wagon :rolleyes: I borrowed just for the occasion, just as the girls laughed and laughed incessantly...

SO embarassing, but not as half embarassing as being called "Miss BSB" in front of your principal by a student.. :rolleyes:

A few days ago I went out to see the Grinch with my cousin, her 2yr old daughter and a friend. Anywho every theater we went to was sold out. So there I was running to catch up with the cousin and friend since the 2 yr old attached to my hand was slowing me down considerably. I glance at this man selling tons of posters on the sidewalk when he yells out "We've got BACKSTREET BOYS POSTERS". Tt came to a screeching halt, the 2yr old ran into Tt's leg and the 2 yr olds little butt made friends with the floor. Once I saw it was an old poster I scooped up the baby and ran up to my cousin like nothing had happened. :o

During the whole Burger King thing, I went BSB banner hunting with a supportive friend who happened to be a casual fan. We were driving around L.A. around 11 or so (right when most BKs close) planning to steal some window clings and/or banners for fun.. (Well.. not really. it was more for my personal collection of BSB crap). We stopped at a BK that still had people in it. I walked up to the door, but it was locked. There were little kids inside, just sitting at the table. I knocked on the door, but they kept ignoring me. Being the big persistant dork I am, I kept knocking for about 5-10 minutes straight (those kids sat there ignoring me!!).

Finally, the manager who was closing up came up to the door. My friend who was still in the car, was extremely embarassed. She slouched down lower in the car as I talked to the manager. I made up this big bullsht story about how I needed to buy the action figures for my sister or she'd kill me, but the manager told me to come back the next day. I agreed, and they closed the door. When the manager walked back in the store, I pulled on the door cling as hard as I could, but those things were sticky as hell. I guess the kids saw me do that and told the manager (I'm guessing was their dad), and they turned around and looked at me pulling it off. As soon as they did, part of the damn thing ripped off, I almost fell, so I dropped it on the ground and ran into my friend's car.. we drove off into the night, laughing at my embarassing misfortune.

As luck would have it, I am a 100% total clutz. My friend and I are in the mall this one afternoon, casually strolling up and down the aisles in this one store when what should I spot out of the corner of my eye?? Backstreet Boys paraphernalia up the ying-yang! They had posters, buttons, magazines, mugs, pencils, and even mousepads! I ran over there like a hoofer that was just let out of the barn. I was grabbing this and that until my arms were loaded! Of course, I wasn't planning on buying it all (okay, okay maybe I was!). When I turned around to leave the aisle, the little dangling string thing that hangs from the bottom of my jacket was attached somehow to one of the shelving units. You can imagine my horror when the shelves came tumbling and crashing down around me...bsb merchandise and all. When I finally turn around to take in the disaster area, I notcie 20 pairs (could be more...they all look the same in a moment of total embarrassment) of eyes staring at me and my armload of Backstreet Boys take. My friend, at that point, was calmly walking away...

One day TaysGrl and I were at the drive thru. I asked the little twit helping us if we could please have one of those sticky things! He said no, but gave us some placemats, BIG DEAL! So, I made a comment to him about how cute they were and he goes, "Right! They don't even write their own music!" Then he closed the window!! I started banging on the window (as TaysGrl is hiding in the backsteat) As I was yelling for him to come back and fight like a man, he just looked at me and shook his head!! LOSER!! I was all ready to kick his butt!!

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about. Handle your business, girl!

You guys are funny... my first concert experience.. going incognito .... taking my 5 year old daughter to a concert in Dallas (I'm 4 hours away)... pretending like it was for her not me.. yeah right.

When we get there I decide to stake out the venue. Again using my daughter as a decoy we walk into the gates behind a radio station van as it drives in. We made it in to watch sound check until we get busted and I make up this story of how she has to go to the bathroom.... :0)

Then at the concert I weasle our way from row 21 to row 4 because she's little and can't see... She looks up at me and says "mommy, are we going to get in trouble? this is against the rules to cut." I'm like shhhh.... just pretend we know what we're doing.... I'm a terrible mom!!! But I couldn't help myself... I was obsessed.

Anyway she's 8 now and knows her way around a concert.. since then she's been to another BSB, Nsync, Britney Spears, and Ricky Martin... but never fear.. I've raised her right -- BSB is her favorite. We even have a shrine to them in her room on her walls... when I need an extra pick me up... I can go in there and sit on her bean bag and look into my georgous Nicky's eyes!! :0)

It's got to be the grocery store incident :o -- ran into one of those stupid mid-aisle displays, sending a load of cereal boxes crashing to the floor while perusing the latest issue of Teen Entertainment.

I forgot this one at Spencer's 2 weeks ago. I'm looking at the display for the BSB piggy banks when I spot an odd-looking one in the corner underneath the other ones (they're made of tin, mind you). My bf is pissed off as it is, because i'm looking at stuff I can't afford. So i reach for the odd-looking one, because, if it's odd enough, I'm buyin it, and BABOOM, the other tin piggybanks come crashing downloud as anything....

My bf just shook his head and let me deal with it. And the odd-looking box? The other band.
