Consolation Prize

A consolation prize is when you ask a girl out and she says no but she wants to remain good friends. The guy feels like he is not good enough for a romantic relationship just a platonic friendship.

This usually occurs between friends; the guy and the girl start as friends however the guy starts to like her romantically and wants their friendship to develop into a relationship. When he lets his feelings be known to her, she turns him down but honestly tells him she wants him as a friend. At this point the guy needs to do some soul searching and figure out if they can go back to the way things were or they go their separate ways.

Sometimes girls will say this to a guy they don't know well as a subtle cue to go away. However this most often happens between friends and has the ability to destroy friendships. The guy has had his pride hurt and is left resentful and bitter and feels like he has been made a fool of by the girl who he thought so much of.

The girl is left hurt as well, since she feels guilty about hurting him and possibly losing a close friend. However she can quickly get annoyed at him if she thinks he's being immature or trying to guilt trip her into a relationship by acting depressed. Its an awkward situation and requires much tact and patience for things to turn out alright.

The Prize Fighter Inferno is a side band for the lead singer of Coheed and Cambria. They have released three songs, "The Missing McCloud Boys"(originally titled "I'm going to kill you"), "The Fight of Moses Early and Sir Arthur McCloud", and "The Margretville Town Dance". There will be three other songs on the album titled "Run Like Hell", "Blood Machine", and "Your Love". There is a highly rumored song called "I Want You Dead" that may or may not be on the album(the title may or may not be correct). They have an album set for release in 2006 titled "My Brother's Blood Machine.

The band name comes from the Coheed and Cambria story. Although the name comes from the story, it is still unclear if The Inferno ,a.k.a. Jesse, is the same character as in the Coheed and Cambria story. Inferno is a person who was originally an IRO-Bot (Intercepting Recon Operative) He was one of three oringinal IRO-Bots. Coheed (The Beast) Cambria (Knowledge) and Jesse (The Inferno). Athough the IRO-Bots are robots, there are very much like a human. They can reproduce, eat, drink, and die.
