I am sitting in the Red Rose for the first time in a long time. I was out with my girlfriend and ,on a whim, decided to go to Murfresboro. I just had a cup of veggie chilli and a peter Pan Polar Bear, I am in Heaven right now. Oh how I miss School.

aahhh, how i miss peter pan polar bears. i'm grateful to you for introducing me to them.

Excuse me? Have they mixed the lovely Polar Bear with peanut butter? I....I must have this! When did this happen? Why wasn't it on the news?!

I boycott Red Rose. I'm tired of being propositioned for sex. No details for now, but if you choose to harass me about it, I may share.

i'm not sure why such a thing wouldn't make the news, but it did happen. prepare to be amazed.

yeah, ok. do share...

I've sat in many different coffee shops in multiple states and the red rose is by far the best. Their veggie burgers are amazing. Their hot chocolate is perfect in the winter. They don't make you pay to use the computer. They always play awesome music when I am in there. They have rock shows at night. They blow away everyone else.

Oh they need milkshakes though. Then it would be perfect. I told them once, but they said they didn't have room for a freezer to keep ice cream in. That is sad.

the peter pan polar bear is as good as any milkshake, i promise.

Imagine if you will a young boy, let's say perhaps 20, sitting alone and doodling on a piece of paper while smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee at the Red Rose. Enter an older gentleman, early 50's who strikes up a conversation with our hero. Ok, screw it, long story made short, this old guy offered me $60 for him to give me head.

Did you do it? Dude, sixty bucks!

I have to agree that I enjoy the Red Rose more than that gaping hole in Nashville that is....Cafe Coco. Sweet mother....i loathe that place. Long live the Rose.

And Long Live Zach...too....um....

If i'd found him attractive, I would have. Plus I really needed $100 (I talked him up to $60 from $30), that would have gotten me drunk enough to forget that it had happened. The next time I was there, I saw him again, yet I was with a large group, so I didn't get harassed.

The moral of the story is, if you college kids are strapped for cash, there's always prostituting yourself at coffee shops, but don't ever sell yourself short.

i knew this story had something to do with fruity sex! that lot seem to enjoy the red rose scene.

Damn dude.. I sat in the red rose almost every day last semester. I never got propositioned for sex. I need to be more outgoing. Although if it's all dirty old guys, maybe it's better that they passed me by. Let me know when ladies start propositioning guys for sex in the rose.

I wasn't even being outgoing. I was just sitting. I think it was the combination of me looking a little "lefthanded" that evening and the fact that i'm hot.

haha. maybe he wanted to be your sugar daddy...

My english teacher junior year told me the only way i'd be a success in life is if I married someone rich. I didn't realize she meant men. I guess its time to pack up the bags and move to the bay area.

there comes a time in all our lives when that journey calls. be strong, keep your nose clean, and stay out of bath houses. this is all i can say. i fear it may be too much.

hahaa "lefthanded" that's funny.
You should check out the bathroom in the Amoco station I think it is. It's the gas station on the corner of Old Fort and that road the movie theatre is on. On the other side of I 24 from the red rose. In the men's bathroom, either some giddy 12 year olds went crazy in there or its walls are the bulletin board for murfreesboro's gay community.

I doubt its my nose that I need to worry about staying clean.

i've heard that we have the nations largest gay fraternity at mtsu, but i have yet to confirm it.

perhaps...

one more thing~ should you by some chance find yourself in one of these so-called bath houses, never agree to let another man wash your back. no good can come from such an offer.

So letting them wash the front is ok?

hmmm... only you can decide that.

i would advise against it, but if it makes you feel good... yeah, you probably still shouldn't do it.

But you would have done it if he'd offered to drive you to some out-of-town Features shows, right?

Alright, I'm addressing lots of points here:

1) Yes, the man would have been able to give me head no questions asked if a Features show was involved.

2) If its the Amoco I think you're referring to, I used to work there, however I don't remember it ever being a "hot spot", that must have taken place after I quit.

3) I sincerely doubt that MTSU has the largest gay fraternity in the country (unless you're counting the guys in Beta...joke sorry). I know where the rumor was started. The national meeting for Lambda, the gay and lesbian college organization, was hosted by MTSU's chapter a couple years ago. I heard a lot of snide remarks from my friends at other schools after that. Granted, MTSU was well represented, but I wouldn't imagine that they would be the largest

that was probably the most productive post ever...

Thank you, I even got to make fun of a specific fraternity. It pleased me.

you will go down in message board history for that post. future members will sing your praise.
