Double Down Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Michelle, and, though he’ll never read this because the internet is just for porn and other assorted tools of Satan, Happy Birthday to my dad! My mom, spur of the moment, took him to Las Vegas last Saturday morning. They’re coming back tonight. I can’t wait to hear how Las Vegas has nothing on Philadelphia, Mississippi.

There were quite a few, but below are a few comments over heard last Friday night at either Cocina Superior or The 19th Hole:

“You sound like me.”

“It’s like an eclipse.”

“You just need to tighten up the pixels is all.”

"I'll think of you when I take a bath. I mean, I'll think of you and Leah when I take a bath. I mean...."

“You know him! He had a unibrow.”

“Her daddy died IN A WAFFLE HOUSE??!!??”

“There’s some dirty whores in here BAD.”

I haven’t been to a place infested with durrrty whores in quite a while, too long really – not since I lived on 19th Street anyway - but before we get to the 19th Hole, can we discuss La Cocina Superior?

Poor Bre and Joseph. I’ve read their names on other blogs, but we’d never met. Hands down they were the nicest couple at the table. The rest of us just try to balance each other out so that some degree of normalcy is maintained, but they are both genuinely nice people who had the unfortunate pleasure of sitting across from Brian and I. As most people know, our wives provide the uplift on the “Socially Acceptable” meter for each of us….or we drag them down, however you prefer to look at it. Now, I’m socially inept which, of course, comes with an implied apology, so I’m really just apologizing for Brian’s behavior. Why does the apology come from me? Because after a few beers, I drag Brian down. It’s really not much of a hill for a mountain climber, but I still feel responsible. Any way, best wishes to B&J this week!

I’m not sure who decided that girls would sit on one end of the table and guys on the other, but it worked out pretty well…except for the poor waitress. Note to self, do not ever again tell a waitress that “it really doesn’t have to be right” unless I’ve already gotten my bill. I’m not sure who had all or part of three margaritas, two Corona Lights, the enchiladas, cheese dip, tortillas, and a taco, but you’re welcome. It’s okay, really. Merry Christmas!

I was able to get Brandon to agree to do an 8-mile run on my birthday. Actually, I suggested we do a 6-mile run and Brandon somehow bumped it up to 8. That Brandon, always upselling.

It was $7 to get in to the 19th Hole (was that the name of the place?). Is that what cover charges are up to now? I mean, I paid $6 to get in a Jump! Little Children show one time, but that was JLC! And it was only me back then, which meant I still had $4 to buy a drink or two…yes, that was a long time ago. The 19th hole was what it was. Girls dancing, guys standing around drinking, and 2 song sets. Did Brandon do that shot or not? I never did see. We left early to relieve the baby sitters and because the baby they were sitting likes to wake up early on Saturdays. Some guy I passed as we were leaving made the dirty whores comment. That’s guy talk for, “I don’t have a shot at any of these girls.”

This Saturday night is the annual Christmas party that we started when 5 of us lived in a house on Overton Road. I don’t know how many years ago that was…it started in 1997 I believe, but I’m no historian. Any way, we’ve got to take a present for Dirty Santa…any ideas?

I can only imagine what Marsha's friends think of you and Brian.

It was the Back Nine.

In retrospect though, aren't you glad Leah DIDN'T have the 3 margaritas? It may have made Karly's 2 monsoons look tame by comparison.

Dirty Whores. Makes me laugh

Running on my birhtday would make me sad. To each his own.
From all the blogs, sounds like a really fun time at the party!

Wish you would blog more often and get back on Karly's site so I could link from there. I am so lazy. More than that,though, I enjoy your blogs even if sometimes I feel less smart than I thought I was

Brandon did not have the shot...he only took a sip. My how times have changed. Your parents go on lots of impromptu trips.

I did not realize we said anything to apologize for except when you told one of the girls at the table (I'm not sure which) that she should think of you while bathing. Don't try to drag me down with you. I'm trying to improve my image.

I am laughing out loud. Bre and Joseph 3cm still no baby and their 2 old has 102 fever.

Brandon took the shot. I remember.

Does anyone remember who bought the shots?

Maybe the waitress hooked herself up with a check that I left there for 6 days!!
