Here's me in the pre-game using the international sign language for "YOU are GOING DOWN!" (As in "You are going to lose this game." Not the other "YOU are GOING DOWN!" There's a whole different set of gestures for that one. Be careful not to confuse the two or you could end up playing the strangest game of Scrabble in your life...or uh, becoming really good friends with a deaf person. It could go either way.)
Later that afternoon the ladies took me to Red Bamboo for some vegetarian soul food. (Most likely, because unbeknownst to me, I was being taken to a steakhouse for my birthday dinner and this gave the two vegetarians a chance to fill up!).
...ON HIS FACE! Hahahahah. Holy shit. You might think you've seen a dude freak out before - but you've never seen anything like this. Keep in mind, this guy was getting huffy because he didn't want his HAND stamped. When he got all aggro and leaned in towards Pete, Pete stamped him with the quickness. The bouncer had to be called over, Sarah and the French guy went outside so he could cool down and Pete was promptly removed from his stamping post. Hahah.
Meanwhile, back on the other side of the bar, Karen and I found found Brother Lawrence making out with Bridgette! Uh-oh! Right around this time, I asked Karen if she wanted to take "a birthday photo with my balls" (because, as you may have surmised by reading this site, I'm just that kind of guy). Not only did Karen accept, she raised the ante and agreed to take what is probably the steepest ball photo on my site...
Grant flirting with my future wife, Natalie (psst...Natalie, I want to make babies with you. If you're not interested in that maybe we could just practice making them. Email if you ever see this.) Bonus points to Jim for continuing to make the "get of load of this fugging guy" face. Hahaha.
This guy was awesome. He saw me taking pictures and was like
"That's a neat camera, can I see it?" I figured he just wanted
to look at it, but as soon as I handed it over, he took this
picture of himself, handed it back to me and walked away without
a word. So fucking funny. (No, you're
the man now, dawg.)
It was awesome. He was totally surprised. The best part was with each turn of his head he'd spot another group of friends that were there and was more surprised with each new realization.
I tried to capture Emily's custom-made rhinestone beltbuckle that says "EMILY" in sparkling capital letters, but it didn't really come out so well...so um, just use your imagination.
