And we were trying to score some weed.
My girlfriend Rosie had her licence and a car and we had just recently discovered marijuana. We were driving up towards Bridgewater hoping to find a bloke that Rosie knew, so that we could score a stick (a small amount of marijuana wrapped in foil)
On the drive up I noticed these two blokes walking along carrying a car wheel. Actually it was really hard not to notice them, as they stuck out like dog’s balls. Hobart was a very very conservative place in the eighties and these two fellas looked anything but conservative..
One of the men had really long flaming red hair and looked like a hippy. The other bloke was dark haired, with a scraggly beard and was wearing jeans and a cut off black t-shirt. He had the darkest tan and a tattoo of a panther on his bicep..
We hadn’t managed to score any smoke, so Rosie and I were heading into town to do a few laps of the block and see what was happening. When I noticed the two men again. Still walking. Still carrying the car wheel.
I talked Rosie into picking them up and giving them a lift back to their car.
And that is how I first met Mr Frog Ponds Rock. I picked him up hitch-hiking. He was the dark haired one with the sexy tan and tattoo..

Wow, you’re kidding! Makes my “I met my husband in college” story kinda boring, huh?

Why do I get the feeling that there is a whole bunch more that COULD be told about this particular episode?

And to think our mother’s always told us not to pick up odd things by the side of the road 😛
Almost as good as how I met my husband…
We lived in the same dorm in college…the dorm had a kegger in a gravel pit outside of town. I met Mark at that kegger.
My kids find that somewhat less than romantic.
(kegger — a party where the main attraction is the keg of beer. gravel pit — the hole or ripped up area where they dig up gravel.)

When I was younger my heart would always flip over dark haired men, while all the other girls went ga-ga for blondes. I never understood the blonde hair thing. I still like my men dark.
That is such a great ‘how I met’ story! Thank you for telling us all, BG x

Oh that is beautiful!!! Its funny how you meet people! You guys have always been a great pair and as far as I’ve seen, Veronicas parents were ‘cool’ because when you went to stay there you could do lots of interesting things. Like play with clay, or camp on the side of the hill and learn that the tent needs a flat surface…
High five babe! We should start a club for chicks who met their husbands in inappropriate places.
I remember doing drives around with my girlfriends in the 80s but usually we were trying to score guys, not weed.

Damn, that makes me want to pick up hitchhikers more often. 😛 Although, here in Alaska, they’re all drunk and mildly creepy…soooo…definitely not. But if I see a cute one I just might!
