Extra 'E' Costs Man Bundle [a recently-rediscovered, heretofore-presumed-irrevocably-lost post]

Pablo Huffenbloogen was forced to shell out much more for his date last night with Mindy McSwirlee than he had originally planned, sources close to Huffenbloogen tell The Daily Scoffer.

"I thought Mindy said she wanted to go shopping," Huffenbloogen allegedly confided in his friend Chad Congobongo, with whom TDS later spoke. "But when we got to the place, I saw that I was actually in for an afternoon of shoppe-ing. It was atrocious. I think at one point I was in a shoppe that sold nothing but hair barettes and foot cream. How did I sink so low?"

But the nightmare did not end there, Congobongo related to TDS with considerable delight. Congobongo claims that Huffenbloogen went on to say that, "after shoppe-ing we went to dinner at a place on the waterfront. I'd heard about the restaurant from a guy at work--he said it was a nice bar and grill. Imagine my horror, then, when I saw that I had been duped into going to a bar and grille. That extra 'e' set me back about two-hundred bucks more than a good old American bar and grill would have. And to top it all off, there was a band playing. They called themselves 'Rumours'. Is there any band playing at any bar and grille anywhere that doesn't call themselves 'Rumours'? Two extra 'e's and one extra 'u', and now I've got a big hole in my savings account and a woman hanging all over me because she thinks I intended to 'e' and 'u' her. Oh, this is not goode, I can tell you that right now."

(Rumours will be performing live every night this week at Ye Olde Catalina Bar and Grille, which is located next to The Strip Malle at Oakcreste, just off of Prepackaged Nostalgia Drive. Suzie's Scoozies and Cream Shoppe (right next door to The Mane Event Styling Salon) will run a buy-one-get-one-free special for the duration of Rumours' sojourn at Ye Olde Catalina.)
