I enjoy picnics
One time, I wanted to go on a "different" date with this chick I'd been seeing for a while and liked a lot and wanted to impress. So I went and bought some sandwiches and some wine and took it out to city park and laid it all out, then went to her place and we walked over there.The picnic was nice enough. But pretty soon, a bunch of little leaguers (10ish year olds) came out and were playing catch near by where we were. One of them threw the ball way off the mark and domed me right in the back of the head. I played it cool because I wanted to seem like I was a good guy, but inside I was all "You bastard kids! "Anyhow, they're (picnics) a pretty good way to impress a girl if that's what you're trying to do. Otherwise, they're very dumb.
Seems like a good alternative would be to take my meal out to eat on my deck. But someone hasn't put our deck furniture back in place since we got our new deck built.
Did you know tailgating is a sub category of picnic?
Do any of the anti-picnicers backpack? Never really been on a picnic but I certainly enjoy leaning up a against a rock and eating some hot chow as the sun goes down over the mountains.
No, tailgating is a subcategory of drinking.
IIRC that girl sucked. Great point, DLEW.

I love packing and making a meal high up in the mountains or along some ozarks stream... the self reliance aspect of being a walking unit containing all my food an shelter needs.For a picnic, they are a nice way to wow a lady. Thermos are your friend (rum and hot cider) and if you really want to bring some solid food (which, why? you have rum and cider) Thermos soup is pretty nice too, maybe with some small sandwiches. Laid out on a nice wool blanket on a warm sping day, doesn't sound terrible. And bring a frisbee.
DNR the thread but I am partial to picnics. I proposed to Mrs. Bf on one. I don't remember what we ate but when I was cleaning up the remnants of our feast is when I popped the question. The sun never seemed so brilliant and the grass never smelled so sweet. That spot will forever be in my heart because it was a place I played in when I was very young and now it is forever so dear to my heart. I go there a few times every year and every time my heart is warmed.
Ever notice when people say "It was no picnic" when something sucked? Its because picnics are a good time.
what now, mother rough rider

Like all women I've been interested in at one time or another, she's a great young lady who will make some lucky guy very happy some day, but that guy ain't me. But if i could go back in time and not have wasted that great date (city park picnic and wine) on her, i would.
in the end, EMAW will always win.
