the worst date i ever had was when the guy showed up to the restaurant dressed as ash ketchup, complete with pokeballs dangling from the zipper of his jeans. he spent the entirety of the date trying to teach me the pokemon theme song. not the version from the show, oh no, the version that he wrote himself. all 5 verses. he started crying and tried to hit me when, at the end of the date, i declined to be his girlfriend.
