Thanks Frank!

So I know that most of you know that I have a "friend" named Greg...although we are not friends at all...he just has the 919 version of my phone number, but I feel like we could be friends considering all of his peeps that have called me, left messages, etc. But this one tops them all...

Sunday night we had gone out to watch the UNC basketball game and at 11:53 PM, I received this text message:

"Frank's phone f-ed up. we r wii bowling NAked!!! Havin lots of fun!!!"

Ummmm yes. That is exactly what it had said. I didn't respond because I had no clue who it was and figured I would just Sly Dial the number when I got back to my friend's house to see who it was, although I figured it was for Greg because I don't hang out with people that Wii naked...or that I know of.

I sly dialed the number and sure enough, I didn't have a clue who it was, but homegirl calls me at 2:18 AM looking for Greg again and it was my pleasure to tell her that she had the wrong number. Busting her was beyond classic...take my word for it! I am sure she was not nearly as embarrassed as this girl, but it was just worth it to let her know that I now know about her naked Wii playing...

So Greg, I urge you to get a new phone number. I now know that you drive a Cadillac, take pictures for the YMCA and school system and that you Wii bowl naked...or at least associate with people that do so. Sick.

Jumbo Face on the Jumbo Tron...

So I went to another Broncos game on December 7th with a friend from the bar and his clients, but little did I know how awesome our seats would be. I mean awesome. Four freaking rows behind the field goal. And thanks to these guys' head gear that were sitting behind us, in like the third quarter, I look up at the scoreboard, and there is my jumbo face on the jumbo tron...

Yeah so I am pretty much famous. I also decided that next season, I am going to try out to be one of these girls...

I know that I am quite capable of performing their routines based on what I saw. I mean I felt as though I could have joined them on the field right then and there, but I refrained. My only concern is the uniform...

I don't know that the Broncos fans would like to see all my jelly jiggling around, nor have chaps really been my thing, but perhaps they would like to alter the costumes to my liking and figure.

I guess if they would not be willing to cooperate, I could always be this guy...

No midriff to display there! So at least now, I have some new ways to make money since my job search isn't going too well...

Anyway, the Broncos won and a good time was had by all! Even this guy who decided to take his shirt off after a bad play...

And yes, it was a gorgeous day to watch a Broncos game, but really???!!! I think it was a bit much for him to remove his shirt...and to display his jeans sitting below his behind. Like school on Sundays...no class!

Hey Lady's!!!

Don't ever convince me that I need to double your homemade mac and cheese recipe because no one will ever be able to eat 3 big casserole dishes of mac and cheese...seriously no one...even if it is the most delicious stuff in the world!

I must admit I gave my try at The Lady's Mac and Cheese for the very first time this Thanksgiving. And yes, I am aware that the 'Lady's' in the title should be spelled ladies, but I was going for the effect of the recipe title in my title. Anyway, it says that the recipe will serve 6-8 so when I learned that there would be 10-12 at our dinner, I thought it necessary to double the recipe. Not a good idea, hence my note above.

Thankfully, I was invited over to my friend Jason's house, where all of the Denver orphans went to give thanks and to have some good eats. Being a vegetarian sure does make Thanksgiving a little awkward as you not only cannot eat majority of the dishes served, but everyone feels the need to question why you don't eat meat...

Q:How long have you been a vegetarian?
A: Since I was 12....so 16 years.

Q: What made you stop eating meat?
A: I just didn't like the taste of it. So when you don't like the taste of something, you don't eat it. I think it's a texture thing. And no, it is not an animal cruelty thing although I do find myself crying over the poor little piggies headed off to the market.

Q: Really, well what all do you eat?
A: Oh you know, a lot of things, just not meat.

Q: Well how do you get your protein?
A: Well I eat tofu, beans, and cheese...not necessarily all together.

So yeah, questions about my eating habits make for my typical Thanksgiving...and this one was no different, but there were was another veg head representing, which made it a little easier. I did have a lot of fun, even got to see a little snow and learned that frying a turkey is the healthiest way to cook it! Really???

And even though I had sh*t tons of mac and cheese leftover, I thought it was the best thing I have ever eaten on any Thanksgiving I can remember...maybe I am ok at following directions...

Drink Drank Drunk

It sure has been a long time and I feel like there is so much to fill you in on. So much that I had to go thru my camera to see what big events had been captured prior to me falling off of the blog world.


So on November 16th, I ventured to the Coors Brewery Tour in Golden, CO. And yall know how much I love a good old fashioned brewery tour. I never listen to the educational part of the tour as I am too concerned with getting the free beers in the end so I don't really have much to report on how they make the ole Rockies favorite brew. However, the one thing I remember was that they take the leftover ingredients and turn it into cat food. I cant seem to remember what those ingredients were, but I just think that is totally nuts. Is that why cats are crazy because secretly they have a buzz??? Nah only kidding...


Anyway, here we are at the beginning of the tour...yeah I was totally the fifth wheel, but whateves...we are a fun crew...

And here are Nikki and I enjoying our first little sippy cup of Coors Original...well she may have had light, but I had the original...must have been feeling manly that day...

Yeah and those things around our necks are the audio for the tour. Brett, one of my friends on the tour tried telling me that if you don't listen to every single number that you aren't allowed to get the free beers in the end. Liar. And a good thing, because I may have listened to 2. I mean I have been on brewery tours before...I know what goes on :).

So we made it thru the tour and were rewarded with 3 beers to which I had 2 Blue Moons and a Killian's as if I have never had them before. And of course as you go to leave the place, they entice you with a Coors gift shop...in case you want one of these....

Oh yes, for 24.95 this could have been mine...a cowboy hat made out of beer boxes. I mean who wouldn't want one of these???

After playing around in the gift shop, it was time for us to leave. And I don't think we could have left at a more perfect time. We got our picture taken in front of this barrel thing and then saw the most amazing sunset over the mountains. But my favorite part is the white 'M' that rests on the mountain. I believe it stands for mining, but in my world, it is in honor of me.

I mean wow...so pretty.

So the following weekend, I went on a little day drinking adventure with my friend Jason. I actually found a bar that was willing to play the Carolina/State game to which I have no further comment, but thanks to them, a little too much alcohol was consumed which led to me trying to climb on this at 16th Street Mall. I imagine it was quite a sight and thanks to a little boost from Jason, I finally got where I wanted to be...

Still thinking about these efforts and my will to climb on this bull still makes me laugh...hence the drink drank drunk of this post.
