Welcome to the notorious Sexual Sundays!

For your consideration: Three Old School Dates For Tough Times.

Economy got you down? Finding it difficult to go out to dinner with your sigoth, pay exorbitant prices for food, ridiculous prices for alcohol and then be expected to tip your server 20%? You’re not alone.

The Money Kings have this strange opinion:

Who knew that paying too much for the pleasure of having someone prepare food for you to eat would be just as expensive during an economic boom as during a recession (and yeah, we’re calling the American economy to be in a full recession–regardless of what the American government thinks)?

So you need some date ideas that won’t make you broke. You need date ideas you can repeat. Here we go:

1. The Woods: This one is easy. If you’re not afraid of a few bugs (yeah, they’re part of that pesky food chain), you can go spend $60 on a pair of decent trail shoes and walk through nature till your hearts content. Set a goal of about a 2-hour hike. Pack a lunch and a blanket. Sit and T-A-L-K to one another. That $60 on shoes will probably last you 3 or more years, if you only use them on trails. The lunch? $25 tops. And yes, you can do this in the winter as well. Plenty of parks out there with hidden shelters. Some even with fireplaces. This is 2008. Park service folks are with it.
2. Strip Poker: Another easy one. Go to your local casino, and they’ll probably GIVE you a deck of old cards. The rest is up to you and your sigoth. We suggest a quick pasta dish (notice how we said to NOT go out for pasta, being it has one of the highest rip-off margins we know of), and then straight to the dealing. Use your bed as a table.
3. Use The Bar In Your House: We love this one. So, so, so, many people have bars in their homes. Yet, they still GO to bars. This makes no Money King sense. If you want to get lit, go grab a few bottles of something from the grocery store; grab a case of beer, too. Have a seat at that bar you just had to build (or, please tell us we’re wrong, had built) watch some TV. Discuss politics. Slur words. Pass out. Won’t cost much, and that’s probably what you’re doing at [Insert Local Watering Hole's Name Here] while you’re paying that 50% mark-up. Your own bar doesn’t do much for girl/guy gazing, but hey, if you’re on a date then get your head in the game!

Good luck out there.
