    Best Place for a Last Date BOA Award Winner

    Metal-Some Mondays
    Does he make so much noise when he slurps his cereal that you’re thinking about boiling his bunny? Does her laugh grate on your nerves like the water in Chinese water torture?

    Does he make so much noise when he slurps his cereal that you’re thinking about boiling his bunny? Does her laugh grate on your nerves like the water in Chinese water torture? Then it’s off to karaoke you go! Or, more specifically, to METAL-SOME MONDAYS at 10 High. The club puts a full band on stage, sans singer; you pick from a repertoire of metal faves and take the mic, then let the breaking up begin. Perhaps the lover you just dropped will opt for a little Metallica, singing: “Hold my breath as I wish for death/Oh please God wake me.” In a grand finale, AC/DC style, you can ‘fess up to your misdeeds with a rendition of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” Then you both can get really wasted, hook up with strangers and vow never see each other again. “816 N. Highland Ave., 404-873-3607. www.tenhighclub.comless...

    Dave & Buster’s
    Bright flashing lights, a hotel lobby-like atmosphere and more noise than most airport runways. Nothing says farewell to an expired romance quite like a night out at DAVE & BUSTER’S, a warehouse-sized video arcade for grown-ups. Freshly dumped? How about a round of Skee-Ball to drown those sorrows?more...

    275 Riverside Parkway, Austell 770-739-3400 http://www.sixflags.com/parks/overgeorgia/ home.asp As you’re creeping up the first ascent of the Cyclone, you realize now is the time to break the news that it just isn’t working out anymore. The coaster takes a nosedive - and your squeal of delight drowns out the irate screams of your former loved one. Post-Cyclone, you hurry to the more docile Monster Plantation. The kiddie ride delivers you and your dumpee to the simplicities of age 8, when life wasn’t so horribly complicated by the gross-you-out opposite sex. If your ex is not responsive to the Plantation’s panacea, however, head to the triple-loop Mind Bender. Should your insignificant other refuse to shut up, you can always reach over and unhinge the lap belt. less...

    Fulton County Superior Court
    Whether you and your horizon-bound former paramour want to quietly contemplate the happy outcome of a successfully air-tight pre-nup or are more inclined to a rigorous workout over possession of the SUV and kids, the helpful staff at Fulco’s Hideaway are waiting to serve you (unless, of course, you’vemore...
    Whether you and your horizon-bound former paramour want to quietly contemplate the happy outcome of a successfully air-tight pre-nup or are more inclined to a rigorous workout over possession of the SUV and kids, the helpful staff at Fulco’s Hideaway are waiting to serve you (unless, of course, you’ve already been served — with settlement papers). Sure, it’s a bit pricey, but just think of what you’re getting in return. less...
