Postcards from the Edge...of Lake Michigan

Well, here I am. Back in Loserville, KY after my long weekend with the lovely waitress Beth. I had an absolute blast. Got together with MikeG and VileOrb on Saturday. Ate fondue Friday night (MikeG, the name of the place is Geja’s.). Ate sushi for the first time (the saltwater eel kicks ass!). Did oyster shooters. Oysters in a shotglass, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and vodka. Never before have I had a more disgusting drink. Almost got into a fight with an old guy Sunday night. We were at the Schaumberg Festival (KC & the Sunshine Band were playing!), and trying to get through the crowd (anyone who’s ever been to an outdoor concert knows what I mean). There was one entrance walkway, which would normally be big enough to accomodate people walking in both directions. However, on this particular night, there were pieces of human cholesterol attaching themselves to the wall of this passengerial artery. So this old guy was barrelling through the crowd, and bumped into me, but I wouldn’t budge. I pushed back. He turned, and asked “Why don’t you watch where the fuck you’re going?”

Me: Hey, pal, I’m just trying to get through the fucking crowd here.

Old guy: What the fuck do you think we’re doing, here?

Me: Hey, if you wanna yell at someone, why don’t you yell at the fucks who are standing in the entrance, blocking everyone.

Old guy: Look, you little shit, I-

(Right then My Friend jumps between us.

MF: Alright, look. No one wants any trouble. Just keep walking.

Old guy (to MF): Don’t tell me what to do, bitch!

I swear, if he hadn’t have disappeared into the crowd right then, it would have been on. So, all in all, I had a blast. Beth is an absolute trip to hang out with. I don’t think anything romantic will happen between us. We’ll probably just be great friends. But it was so cool.

Ah, I was waiting for you to fill me in on the dirt. Well, que sera sera re: romantic aspirations. But, having a new friend is always nice.

So, did you shake your booty to KC & the SB? :smiley: Glad you had fun.

After the little altercation with the Old Guy (BTW, does anyone know if Medicare would pay to have my foot removed from his ass?), we opted to leave the fair. We went and ate instead.

…bummer, Super, that that guy threw a cloud over your night. The rest of the weekend sounds pretty good, though.

Suck coming back down here, doesn’t it?

Hey Superdude, I am just glad as hell you were able to share in my Most Wonderful Saturday in years!

I got the job opportunity of a lifetime earlier that day which in short entails a 17,000 dollar raise, lots of responsibility, 12 employees reporting to me, a car, a computer, a phone, all expenses paid trips to Germany ( the first one will be Oct. 8th) and the list goes on!!!

Then I met up with you and Vileorb and had a fantastic day, drinking, eating, talking, etc. until we got to Nevins. There I met the woman who I fervently hope will be my new girlfriend! Wow is all I can say…more details as things progress, but this truly was one of the best days I have had in a loooooong time!

So I am off to look for cheap airfares to OhDope now that I can afford it!

[cartman]I love you guys[/cartman]

but I’m going to hijack Super’s thread.

Mike! Dude! That is such awesome news! Hope everything continues to be thumbs up!

To continue with the hijack… Mike! That is fantastic news! I’m soooo happy for you. I hope everything continues to work out.

Yea Mike!!!
Congratulations!!! I’m so pleased for you.
Remind me where Nevins is. I know that I know it, I just can’t remember how.

You must keep us updated on all the ‘girlfriend’ info!
