Well, if she won’t talk to me, I might as well make fun of her.
Almost four years ago, I was in a dueling piano bar, celebrating my best friend’s birthday, trying desperately to talk to this girl that wanted nothing to do with me or any other guy for that matter. At this point in the night though, she was trying to avoid yet, another guy trying to strike up a conversation with her. She slipped into a group of girls, whom, by stereotypical looks and dress, did not appear to be interested in the opposite sex in order to seek refuge. So I decided to take one last stab:
“So, you’ve finally had it and switched teams, huh.”
“Did you just call me a lesbian?!”
I knew at this point I had an out, but I was committed.
“Yes I did.”
I was waiting to get (deservedly) slapped in the face, but figured I would have a funny story to tell later. Instead, she laughed and actually started talking to me. Instead of a slap in the face, I got a phone number.
Tomorrow, I will marry her.
This past year has been an absolute whirlwind. Between work, HLS, and planning this wedding, it feels like just about every day has blended together. At the same time, it’s almost hard to believe that the big day now just 24 hours away.
Next week, I will be out on a Caribbean island, unplugged from everything that has made my life a blur. It’s a break that has long been needed and I will look forward to coming back refresh and a lot less single.
Here’s hoping the hamsters don’t revolt while I’m gone.
The Roundup
Quite a few of you were having a real good time on Twitter thinking the Cowboys would take Manziel. Instead, Jerry took the only Notre Dame first round pick so joke’s on you.
I will never understand the draft absurdity that hit Teddy Bridgewater. But this is probably the best example of how ridiculous things got for him before the draft.
Marquis Lee falling out of the first round was a great bit of schadenfreude. Although, it appears that we should have seen it coming.
Rutgers just about dropped the ball. They decided to honor Eric LeGrand with a commencement speech, then took it away, and then gave it back. This is all too crazy to make up.
And now, your moment of Nix… The fun & games with Jameis Winston isn’t done until the Taiwanese animators have their say:

What a fantastic story you can tell your kids one day. “I called your mommy a lesbian in a piano bar. The rest is history.”
