I’ve been fooling around with my futurephone-to-blog capabilities for some time now. Flickr proved itself worthy of groonkness. Here’s some stuff that’s happened.
Gnome Napped
So last Wednesday I’m called out to 3rd Base to grab a drink with Wes and to hear Mike Roberts sing a song or two. Visions of draft beer dance in my head during my journey.
I buy a rum and coke once there. My college powers must be returning.
Midway into the set a folder full of pictures begin to circulate. The pics finally reach our table and we’re let in on the story.
Earlier that week, a gnome the size of an annoying Chihuahua was stolen. That very night photos of the gnome in unseemly and precarious positions were dropped off via the bar’s backdoor. Lindsay(the owner) was very sad. The ransom said that she would receive instructions on Thursday on how to guarantee his safe return. Our table turned into junior detectives over the theft but Gnome Girl went that extra mile. Quicker than you can say Nancy Drew she was roaming each table in the bar looking for answers. That girl really loved her gnome.
I wonder if she got him back. If not, I’m figuring no gnome is safe.
Damn you Travelocity.
The Thursday before
I was in an evil place. Beer was being bought for me and forced down my gullet. The local color was in rare form. One lady was celebrating her, “20th birthday with 20 years experience.†Her words not mine. She was partying hard. So hard that she introduced her head to the metal pole she was dancing around. That dull, fleshy boing could not be mistaken. It reverberated throughout the bar.
She kept dancing.
I almost wanted to get her number so she could call me the next day and tell me how bad her fool head was hurting that morning. I’m glad I didn’t.
Several pitchers later, David showed his love for beer and after the ugly lights came on some girl flaunted her stripper moves by pulling a dollar bill from another girls pants… with her mouth(that was a hasty futurephone shot).
I’ve no idea what that was about.
