Weekend Recap: The Dirty Oreo from San Anton’
Friday
Fried chicken and taters from Mary Browns takeout for dinner. I stayed in. Watched some television. Played some video games. According to that Wii Sports game, I’ve got the balance, speed and stamina of a 26 year old. Neato.
Saturday
Something I’ve been meaning to do for some time, pick up the back catalogue of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. On Saturday, I did the lazy thing, I bought them from the iTunes store.
At night, me and Bob went to Baller’s house to watch the NBA All Star skills competition. Without going into a huge rant about how the dunk itself is now the least important part of the slam dunk competition, I will say this. It was fun to watch. Watching Tim Duncan and David Robinson hit shots they would never attempt in an actual game was great though. I’ve always had a lot of respect for both of those players.
Duncan and Robinson competed in this competition with a player from the WNBA team in San Antonio. The threesome was interviewed after they easily won the competition. Maybe I was too far from the television to make out their faces and my imagination started crawling deeper into the ditch; but that woman, I don’t her name, had this look on her face like she was really excited to be in between two seven foot tall black man.
The night ended up with a big ol’ poker game with a tiny pot. At some point I was the chip leader, not sure how, but I was. Of course, by that point, the fun of the game was a bit lost on me and I just wanted to go home. For me, when that feeling comes during a poker game, I go in on every hand and make my intentions well known. The player with the second most chips did the same. Eventually, he had a better hand than me and I was out pretty quick.
Sunday
Had to work.

Not a bad weekend at all. Don’t blame you for going in every hand when that feeling hits you… I’ve done the same. It only sucks when you’re actually doing well.
Working on Sunday should be outlawed. Do they pay like a Sunday differential or something?

I just can’t get much enthusiasm going for All Star Weekend anymore, which is too bad as I used to like it a lot many years ago. I read that the dunk competition was better this year than it’s been for a long time, however, that’s not saying too much.

I rarely watch the NBA mostly due to the fact that no one plays defense anymore, but still the all star can be good fun.

Sounds like a good weekend. I stayed in and saved money.

That’s just a damn funny post title by gosh.

I didn’t understand the thread title until now. I guess I don’t have my mind far enough in the gutter.

Friday: Dude, fried chicken and taters? And that gives you the balance, speed, and stammina of a 26 year old? Where do I get that stuff?
Saturday: Hey, I’d be excited too if I was in between two seven foot black men who make like a bazillion dollars a year!
What were you playing? Texas hold ‘em? I’ve got a tip for you…wear sunglasses.
Sunday: Have you ever seen “Office Space?” Just don’t answer the phone then you won’t have to work weekends.

Random girl I like your suggestion about sunday but that would never work with his boss. His boss would find him, he knows where WIGSF lives!

Jillian - it also sucks when during games you really want to do well and keep playing but just never get the cards.
BDS - the dunk competition this year was a giant screw job to great dunkers of the past.
wiwille - the NBA has to many players with outstanding physical abilities and not enough talen.
Miss Ash - I spent too much money this weekend. Didn’t want to, but sometimes it can’t be helped.
JLee - I’m glad ya liked it.
Bob - San Anton’ is a slightly abbreviated version of San Antonio. A dirty oreo, to speak in Kevinsmith-ese, is like fingercuffs.
Random Chick - I don’t think its necessarily right to piss off one’s boss. If I don’t like the job, I’ll just quit and get a different one.
