Oops / Mini-Break Recap

First off, HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!
So the suspense of the date has built long enough, but will have to wait for one more post :O) After this one I'll post about them!
Anyway, yeah, even power slackers like myself have physical limits and I apparently found mine yesterday. I got up to go about my normal morning routine and whilst attempting to put toothpaste on the toothbrush, suddenly found my face being smacked into the medicine cabinet. Yes, I passed out mid toothpasting. This then prompted a phone call to Idiot Boss which I don't remember, but wherein I did say I was not going to make it to work. Then came sleeping till 2:30 when Big Mike woke me up to make sure I was still alive.
So, since you know how things turned out, let's go back Tarantino style...
Last week it was proposed that a group should be assembled and go on a mini-spring break road trip. Since we're all busy and yet any good slacker MUST partake in some spring break debauchery, the trip was planned by The Mistress of Charades (Formerly Outta Leaguer and because she rocked at the charades part of Cranium, hopefully MoC is acceptable?) to be a one and a half day affair. So we met up over at MoC's place at 8:45am and awaited Skylark to pick us up and then go get Frat Boy (I'm stealing MoC's nicknames for them because well, I'm a slacker). Once we all gathered, there trip was on!
The remnants of Monday's blizzard made the drive a little interesting at times, but it went well. Stopped at a Perkins in the middle of WI for some late breakfast, potato pancakes and French toast, yum! We eventually made it to Wisconsin Dells and the Kalahari Resort, the world's biggest indoor waterpark. Yes indeed, a little island paradise smack in the middle of the chilly Midwest. And you thought Wisconsin only had cheese and beer! HA!
Anyway, the day was very much fun. There was the waterslide roller coaster, the wave rider thing, and the "Pro Bowl" which I can only explain as being "flushed." heh. And then there were the Spas. Mmmmmmm, hot tub.... Nothing like having a margarita in a bubbly hot tub. We soaked so long in those things I think I still smell of chlorine several showers later. The wave rider was fun, you basically boogie board on a big wave that never really moves. It did have one issue, it caused mayhem with the swimsuits if you happened to fall off. At one point Skylark had a minor wardrobe malfunction when the decorative mesh layer of her bikini bottoms got hooked on the grating of the machine. In freeing herself she ended up giving a good number of young boys a good rear view. I'm fairly certain Skylark has about 17 adolescent boys who think they're dating ;O) Luckily after some trimming the suit looked fine and enjoyment of watery fun resumed.
After we had enough of the hot tubbing, (well, ok, since "enough" may not have been impossible, I'll modify that to, decided to move on with the night) we went and got some dinner at Houlihan's and then stopped off at Evil-Mart and picked up some games and some beer (WI rules!) and found a hotel to crash at. Unfortunately they didn't have Apples to Apples, but we made due with "Boxers and Briefs" and "Cranium." B&B was ok, but the real fun when we played Cranium. The performing category is when it got really interesting, humming and acting and charading oh my!
A couple highlights:
MoC: *Hands on hips and chest pronounced* "Beam me up Scottish Person!!"
Skylark: "Climbing, Climbing BOOM!!!!"
Me: Angle 1: *Ringing a bell* Angle 2: *Spank spank spank*
We eventually just gave up on the game (Well, after the men thoroughly trounced to women) and played only the performance part. There are incriminating videos... I'll work on that for y'all.
For a little bit I kinda got stuck being the odd man out with the couple (Sky and Frat) and with MoC on the phone with her new prospective man. But luckily there was genuine Wisconsin beer (Leinenkugel's) to help with that.
We slept for a bit, got up at an ungodly hour of 6:15am weds, then drove the 3.5 hours back to the cities. I went to work, felt incredibly funky after three cups of coffee and a big ass Rockstar Energy Drink and tried not to pass out all afternoon.
In all it was a very fun trip.
After work I went home, slept for like an hour, then went out to the bar with G-Spot. Bright Eyes had to work late and couldn't make it out, but G-spot and I had a pretty good time. One girl we met a couple weeks back, that G-Spot thought was cute and tried to arrange so I could ask her out ended up hitting on HER, so that was interesting and soooooo my luck. i got home at like 1, ended up staying up until 3 something with the roomie, and yeah, we know how the morning ended up.
Oh well, anyway, time to head out and get my partially-Irish ass drunkity drunk!
Later peeps!

"Yes, I passed out mid toothpasting."
This is possibly the best thing I've read in quite some time. Even I haven't accomplished this yet. Although passing out in the shower is a bit scary.
