It's ridiculously overboard. Like...bad romantic comedy kind of overboard. However, I am so NOT a romantic so none of that cliched woman crap works on me. For example, I would have dumped a bucket of water on John Cusack standing outside my window with a radio. Or called the cops. I suppose if the woman has been planning her wedding since she was 8 and was really romantic, it would work. Who knows?

And for the normal stuff, that's the kind of things that they've been doing on their dates. It's not spectacular, but it doesn't mesh very well with the ridiculous picnic card game on the Rocky steps kind of fiasco.

Haha, a kindred spirit! I'm the same way. Korn Ball, capital K capital B. I can be a romantic, but not when it feels like it came out of some lame How-To handbook.

I miss the days when a romantic date was coming over for burgers and a bottle of scotch.

So what's so corny about it, is it the basket? Yeah I guess a basket would be kinda hokey. I actually didn't catch that part at first. What about if he just had a (DiBruno's?) bag filled with a couple of great sandwiches & sodas, with a deck of cards stashed in his pocket... Does that sound OK?

I guess it depends on the burgers. We're not talking McDonald's right? And assuming a nice single malt, I'd say that should still work.

Yes, well-done on the grill, a game of Pitch (hi/low/Johnny/game), and a pack of Marlboro's after I start getting loaded
