1. Western Wednesdays

    One of the best ways to test those acquaintances with the potential to become your friend is to nonchalantly insert a cliche in conversation and see how your PF (potential friend) responds. Rachel and I decided the experimental results could be made more robust by introducing a Western element: instead of saying “Workin’ hard or hardly workin’?!?!” you could liven it up by starting with “Hey bucko!!!”

    Depending on your lifestyle choices, you might hope your PF’s response is a hearty laugh and a heartfelt response, or if you’re more like me, you’ll hope for a facial flash of disgust, a skeptical laugh, and no real answer.

    To accelerate your accumulation of acquaintances-turned-best-friends, I’ll help you out each Wednesday with a new cliche to try out on your PF circle. All will include a hand-selected Western element, and each should be said with an annoying amount of enthusiasm.

    Today’s is: “Well, ranger, that’s the way the cookie crumbles!”

    Tell me your results.
