A saucy and sexy story that pops with energy and has great imagery. I love the Pete, Re-Pete bit. The reader couldn't get bored with this story if they tried. I really like the voice of the writer - brash, funny and leaving the reader shaking their head in delight!!

This is really good and very funny. You've surrounded quite a story around the subject matter. I applaud you on your creative, clever, and well thought out way you've wrote this. The ending was the icing on the cake. I enjoyed this! Great job and well done!

This is so well written that the reader feels like they are right there with the characters. This is written so true to life I'm trying to figure out if it really happened. It sounds like a very funny account with great amusing similes and metaphors, a story which was told to you by either Pete or Re-Pete. Very well done.

    No, no, I'm afraid it's all from my vivid imagination. It's my only real chance to get out, you see...

    Thank you for the fantastic review!

I love the attention to detail in this - popcorn crushing under boots - museum quality juke box - you paint a great picture of a small town bar, of the unique Wedding-Crashers-like relationship between father and son, and mostly, of the eternal quest to "hook-up" evidenced by such cheesy lines as "I'll take a top off" (nice).

It's obvious that a lot of care went into crafting this great story - good luck in the contest.

This story made me smile and serves him right. I didn't see that coming, though. I thought she might be an undercover cop posing as a prostitute or something. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

    The only real 'tell' was that she was the only woman in there drinking a non-alcoholic beer - and it was for the same company-rule reason as Pete and Re-Pete.

    I appreciate your review and also your well-wishes for the contest.

Oh, and things were going so well and you had to get him fired. I liked it and I didn't see a thing out of place. You did an excellent job and good luck in the contest. Shirley

    Hahaha. He should have known something was amiss with the only other person besides him and his father who was drinking non-alcoholic beer! (Ah, youth!)

    Thanks for you nice review, Shirley.

What goes around (the shaft) comes around. Been around too many guys like those, and almost enough such barflies....looks good for the prompt and reads well.

They say you can't mix business with pleasure, It looks like the re-pete learn a valuable lesson. Luckily the dad did not meet the some fate. Best of luck.

This is very well written. I'm thinking the bar is a real-life setting even if the rest of the story is fiction. Good luck in the contest, mystery writer.
