Funny that you mention it.....

I was at the Frog Pond in the Boston Common last month ice skating, and they were hosting a special event because Disney on Ice was in town. They announced over the loudspeaker that Miss America was making an appearance.

I always carry blank cards on me so I had her sign one, then came home to find out that it was actually Ms. America, a non-broadcasted competition for women over 30 that are single, divorced, or widowed.

And that, boys and girls, is why you should always do research before getting autographs.

So you would have saved yourself a $0.03 index card if you had known that? Or would you have asked her for her phone # instead?

You can't tell the difference between a 30 + woman and a early 20's mid 20's one?

She was wearing a lot of makeup, so no. I didn't care about the index card either, I just thought it was a funny story. I would never go out of my way to get autographs of beauty pageant contestants, but it had been a while since I had done any IP graphing, so I figured why not. It was either her or Minnie Mouse.

.....In hindsight, I probably should've gone for Minnie.

We went back when they had it at Disney's Boardwalk. They had the girls come out in groups, but you get back in line for the next group. Most of the girls had 8x10s they were giving out for free or you could buy the book they were selling with everyone in it.

Also hanging around were 2 of the most famous Miss America's: Lee Meriwether and Mary Ann Mobley, who also signed when asked.

It's either save the index card or save himself the rejection.

I couldn't take the rejection of asking a woman 8 years older than me that I have no interest in for her phone number. But if I see her again I'll send her your way. Maybe you can take her out to dinner with all of that "graph cash" you have saved up.

Jealous of my casino winnings I see.

Tell you what, you keep your index cards on hand, and when I take her out I'll pm you and let you know where we are so you can get her graph again and mine, I'll even inscribe my getting laid with her debut.
