Being Busy = Bad Blogging
Tuesday, September 19, 2006Abundant alliteration is always amazingly annoying, agreed?
Good.
Heh.
ANYWAY, yeah thanks you the wonderful Orientation Girl, Kickball, D, and my fun new job, last week was Busy. Yes, with a capital B.
So OG hit town on Monday. I always look forward to her visiting not only because she's a smart, fun, beautiful person, but it always means SHOT LIST!! As you have been informed in previous posts we started a tradition long ago to work on the Stub and Herb's Shot List. They have 101 shots listed and we decided they must ALL be done and they only really count if we do them together. Previous to this trip we had done just about 70 of them (The links above show some of the last rounds). This time we realized an error in our ways, we have done WAY to many of the good ones and left too many bad ones. The show must go on however and it was time to suck it up and go. We spaced this one across two nights, but here's the damage:
Day 1 (Monday):
1. Undercurrents: Vodka, Blue Curaco, and Drizzle some Chambord in the bottom. This is always our traditional starting shot.
2. Fireball: Cinnamon schnapps topped with Tobasco Sauce. I had done this before, and didn't really care to revisit it, but rules are rules. I manned up and later severely regretted licking my lips afterward.
3. Afghan Monkey: 151, Melon, Vodka, Pineapple. You would think all that fruitiness would kill some of the 151's potency, yeah, not so much when it's all schnapps.
4. Sour Apple: Apple Pucker, Cranberry. We needed something good. heh.
5. Rum Yum: Malibu, Meyer's dark, peach, OJ, Cranberry. This one was pretty good too, reminded me how good dark rum is so I've had to mix a few drinks with it at home lately!
6. Bacardi Buzzer: Bacardi, Melon, Pineapple: At this point we didn't care to read ingredients and just picked the next one on the list that wasn't crossed out, turned out OK.
Since we had had a couple Chambord Long Islands before hitting Stub's we decided that was about enough for the night!
Day 2 (Tuesday):
1. Lunch Box: Amaretto, Beer and OJ. This one was done as a drop shot, you had a glass with the beer and OJ, then you dropped a shot glass full of amaretto in it and chugged. It was definitely as weird as it sounded.
2. Cherry Bomb: Wild Cherry, Bacardi, Sweet & Sour. Since she had to be at the airport by 4:30am this was the last on and OG wanted to go out with something decent, so this was it. Not bad, but they went a little heavy on the bacardi.
And so concluded another visit from the Real OG and another foray into The Shot List. I'm not looking forward to some still remaining like Prairie Fair (Tequila and Tobasco) or Rocket Fuel (151 and Rumpleminze) but they will all be done some day! Hopefully the OG can make it back up to the cities again soon! Always a blast to have the girl in town! Especially when I get some of those $3/gallon fill-ups back in the form of shots! :O)
Wednesday was recovery since I ended up drinking with some of her coworkers till altogether too late. I basically passed out and recouped for Kickball the next day.
Thursday, of course brought Kickball, and even though the Police decided to ruin the fun and not have alcohol at the park, we still had a blast. My team lost a close one but I was able to develop a shallow left hand curve ball to compliment my killer right hand one and my fastball and offspeed pitches. Yes, this is with a kickball. Yes, I know I have mad skills!
We did however manage to exact large amount of revenge in the form of flip cup. Mind you while other teams have average ages in the low to mid twenties, I am the second youngest on the team at 28. Team Purple just can't be beat on the flip cup table. Now we just gotta work on the on-field skills then we'll truely live up to our team name of Gym Class Legends!
During the day I got a new prospect on the dating scene. Now, OG, before you read this and continue the lecture about not looking for dates I shall inform you she emailed ME, I was not doing the looking. So shut you pie hole! *hugs* Anyway, The Nurse (long term care)is a pretty brunette from the Mini-Apple. She shares my passions for squirt gun fights and live music and seems like she'd be a heck of a lot of fun. The semantics for a date are being worked out so I shall keep you fine readers informed!
Friday, D showed up in town from up north in Brrrrrrrmidji. He had gotten some tickets to the Gopher football game Saturday. We decided we couldn't just sit around the house, so we piled in a car and headed to the theater. Crank is not really is good a movie as I hope, yeah it definitely had some good parts, but given the premise and the name, I expecet a faster pace. It was alright though, definitely rent worthy, maybe theater worthy if you go to a theater with good sound.
The weekend was filled with football. I hung around the house and got some stuff done while D took Big Mike to the game since he turns the big 3-0 on, well, today! Hung out with them a bit that night. The Gophs managed to decimate Temple by a measly score of 62-0. You don't even wanna know what they're rushing yardage was. It was sick. Sunday was of course devoted to watching NFL games. I mean, what else is a guy to do on Sundays? Now if only my Pack wasn't stocked with rookies...
Anyway yeah, so here we are, back to the present. Tomorrow I'll be back with a Special Feature: Slacker's Cell Phone Clean-up! It's been way to long since I shed the numbers of people who changed theirs, who I just don't talk to, or, well, don't even remember who they are! Should be interesting, check back!

What's the First Place Prize for KICKBALL?
A new car?? Seems that was one of your primary concerns a little while ago, and probably still is!!
PORQ SUGGESTION = Buy a BIC car.
You know, cheap and disposable!!
Pick something up for maybe a grand, drive for two years and throw it away if it runs out!!
If you think a car is a hook for chicks, save your money for a ROLLS.
May not be practical, but it'll be something to tell your grand kids about all the escapades from driving a ROLLS!!
I never got one , but had plenty of BICS!! Saved a lot of money for BEER!! and paying for kid's college expenses!!
Rock on Chief, you're my new hero now that Captian Bee packed it in.

Woohoo! You're back! :) I now apologize for berating you in the comments to your last post.
And you got your wish ... Poor Wakes. Poor Sox. Thank God I've still got the Pats to root for. And Notre Dame, though that loss last Saturday probably lost them any chance at the National Championship. Sigh. -

Porq - I have a BIC car, heh, I'll be driving this one till she won't drive nor more ;O)
Esther - Thanks! I'll be around more :O)
FINY - You're cute so I can't help but forgive ya! And yeah, that was a heck of a game though. And I do have to say, after watching tahtgame, Morneau is WAY more deserving of an MVP than Ortiz, but David will probably get it since he's the big market player. I really don't think ND is ever going to win a championship until they join a conference, their scheudle is always harder on average than any of those championship teams. -
