or  is it

Shot Put 

My friend scored free tickets to the hockey game tonight. Yes, nashville has a NHL hockey team. It was a preseason game but still it was a preseason game and i had nothing better to do especially as the beloved Astro‘s weren’t playing on TV. Thankfully they won and kept our slim hopes alive for another day. So during the game i was keeping track of the Astro’s progress via mobile and watching the predator’s pound Atlanta (some irony there).

We were milling around after the 2nd period and were talking about how it sucked that the Card’s won today and that they should have never pitched to pujol’s , in the prior game, in the 9th inning and a couple of attractive but inebriated ladies nearby overheard us and left us two memorable quotes.
“Pujol’s! I love Pujol’s, well i don’t like it in the poo hole but i love Pujol’s”

“I was just trying to be obedient and said sure i’ll BLOW !”

the last quote was in reference to her field sobriety test and DUI arrest where she blew a (in her words) “point one point 6 . TWICE the legal limit”.

Thankfully for all of us they take a cab everywhere now.

This morning i had an entertaining meeting where i was able to interact with someone new. Within minutes of my arrival  I was insulted by this person whom I had just met, so we were already off to an inauspicious start. He posed a question to me a few minutes later, though i doubt he really understood the breadth and scope of the question and the answer it required. I hesistated in forming a response and before I could utter a word he interrupts with, ” I need a yes or a no and i don’t need pensive look.” the thought bubble going through my head at the time was…

actually @$$hole i was trying to gauge how much of an idiot you are so i can dumb the answer down so you could even remotely understand…

at least he was helpful, obviously he can only understand monosyllabic words.

By the way the answer was - Yes.

As i was going through my daily marketing reading i ran across a link to this site. Unfortunately i can’t permalink to the actual article in question so i’m posting it here:

Beer Church Did Not Do This

No. It wasn’t Beer Church. But in Houston someone recently covered up a billboard with a poster featuring a picture of Jesus Christ holding a Budweiser can. The company that leases the billboard believes vandals made the poster at home and then pasted it on top of the ad that’s supposed to be there. Local Houston-area Beer Church members who have seen the billboard report that it looks like it was professionally done.

as i was walking back to my office today from the studio, the one and only Willie Nelson pops out of his tour bus. He must have recognized my  dumbfounded expression and just came over shook my hand and asked me my name. i think all i uttered was it “it’s a pleasure to meet you”. I was too flustered to ask for a quick photo. He was very gracious and kind to me though and just had the overall demeanor of a very kind man.

There’s a dirty rumour of Norah Jones being in the studio but so far it is just a rumour.

now that would make my week.

-that is all
