"Wild" Night

PRENOTES: Not to shabby of a photo shot with a point and shoot camera, flash on and only being away from the subject 4 inches. I shot through a white piece of paper and by golly it diffused pretty darn well. Last night I had the opportunity to go with Wade to the Wild game vs the Phoenix Coyotes (who are coached by none less than my favorite player of all time, Wayne Gretzky). During the game one lucky/unlucky fan had to choose who from the Wild would score a point during the game for the chance/punishment of winning tacos for a year from Taco Bell/Toxic Hell. Well this kid picked the right player and won the prize. Now he is stuck eating tacos for a year and so we wonder how many tacos is that? Is that once a day, once a week? How exactly is it figured? Because I know when I trounce into Taco Bell I want more than one taco and a bottle of Tums. Oh yeah, Wade wanted me to let you know that Darren Pang was only three chairs down from us during the third period of the game. I shot a picture with my prize camera on my phone (HA!) and haven't even took it off the phone yet because I know how un-usable it really is. Link (1) Link (2) Links are for those who doesn't know who he is. Wade check the second link and look at the last line, this is why he was at the game! After the game on the way back to the car we get to the elevator at the parking lot when all of a sudden the pay phone starts ringing. Now I thought to myself how many times in one's life does the opportunity come up that you get to answer a phone call from a complete stranger and make as big of a fool you want. So I tried the old Matrix line and this is exactly how the phone conversation went. Me-"Neo?" Girl-"Someone called for me from this number." Me-"Neo?" (at this point I should make it perfectly clear that this girl has never seen or even heard of the Matrix so she doesn't know what is going on and is starting to get a little irritated as you can note in the next thing she said) Girl-"Does this sound like Neo, N*gger?" (this is an exact transcript) Me-(I start laughing uncontrollably because of her previous comment) "This is a pay phone" Girl-::click:: Now first off, this is one of the pet peeves I have with caller ID. Why would you call a number that you have never seen before? Isn't this what the voice mail system is for? If people want you to call them they can clearly state that in a very short message "Call me". But now it has come to me today that I should have wrote the number of the payphone down and called it myself some other time. I wonder how many people would play along with you in different situations? You know I had some pretty good notes for this post and it seems to me that it is turning into a flop (maybe because I don't have anything that is even remotely entertaining as finding your child eat cat food. Last attempt at saving face. Check out The Decemberists on iTunes. Awesome band, totally rare style.
