Sparta!!!!!

This weekend, the boyfriend and I were both looking forward to a relaxing and uneventful weekend (read: fairly boring). Unfortunately, our weekends live 7 hours apart from one another.

However, while mine remained as uneventful as planned. His, not so much. He called to chat yesterday and I asked him what he had gotten up to. He said he'd had a pretty low-key Sunday. Then he got around to explaining his Saturday.

"Oh actually, I did get a call from this woman I know for some last-minute work on Saturday."

The fact that he was not immediately immediately forthcoming with the details was red flag number one.

"That's great! What did you do?"

"Oh, I just worked a trade show that was in town."

"Like, you just worked retail for the day?"

"No...no I just sort of, walked the show...

"?"

"wearing a silly costume..."

"What kind of silly costume? What are you talking about?"

"...A Spartan costume."

"So by trade show, you mean?"

"...Sexapalooza"

That's correct. While I sat at home in the middle of a constant rural snowstorm all weekend like a sucker (a bored sucker, with pocket lint), my boyfriend was wandering around tables of vibrators while dressed as a Spartan warrior.

I laughed for about half an hour.

If only there were pictures hey?

Sounds like you need this guy living closer on the weekends too - he could be falling in with the wrong crowd!

Oh my god. This is priceless. I once went to the bar my boyfriend works at for their 7 Deadly Sins night, he left the back room for 5 minutes, came back and I was in lingerie sleeping on the bar as Sloth.. But being Spartacus at a sex show? That takes the cake.. "Borrow my sword ladies?"

Unfortunately he apparently doesn't know exactly who was taking pictures or where they might appear. I would scour the internet for them, but, I'm kind of afraid of what might come up if I google "Spartan Sexapalooza"
