Saturday Night’s Alright For…Sleeping
Happy Republic Day to everyone’s favorite African nation, Niger. Today in 1865 the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was adopted, abolishing slavery in all federally owned land. An interesting list of birthdays for today: Josef Stalin (1878), Ty Cobb (1886), Keith Richards (1943), Steven Spielberg and Steven Biko (1946), Brad Pitt (1963), “Stone Cold” Steve Austin (1964) and Katie Holmes (1978). Also, today in 1997, we lost Chris Farley…(in a van down by the river!).
After a long and difficult day of traversing the malls and shopping centers to try to complete the Christmas shopping list we all headed to damn near Kentucky to have fun at the Green Machine and Hoosier Girl’s house. I, of course knowing where I was going, got The School Girl and myself there late…because we got lost! G-Man and family had already arrived and was already a beer up on me. We were lured to the northern Tennessee region by talk of grilled steaks, beer and gifts. Now if there is anything else more to life than that I don’t what it might be!
G-Man and I stand and ridicule the cooking style of Chef Big D…I mean, we spoke at length concerning the state of affairs regarding the Middle East Conflict and the economy. Yeah right!
Big D did another superb job running the grill and he made his famous garlic green beans.
After getting a good look at the steaks, G-Man was prepared to sing for his supper…or he is demonstrating his circus seal act from the movie Clerks! (Usually this is Green Machine’s role!)
G-Man and SueBoo’s middle child, Sugar Bear, shows off her new Christmas themed braces.
Green machine decided to show Hoosier Girl who the real boss was in their home. I just hope she didn’t hurt him too bad after we all left!
Here I am sucking up to The School Girl in preparation for any obnoxious antics I might be planning to partake in later on in the evening.
Sweet Pea and I played a little soccer with Green Machine’s basketball. This is the last known photograph to exist of poor little Mr. Basketball. Green Machine inadvertently hit The School Girl in the leg with the ball and she proceeded to kick it pretty hard. It traveled past the cars…down the drive way…into the street…into the neighbor’s yard…down their drive way…into their backyard…into the forest…possibly off a cliff and into history. Now we know what to get him next Christmas!
It appears that The School Girl is propping me up but we are just having a good time listening to music that probably was loud enough to annoy the neighborhood.
We tried our best to imitate King Of The Hill, unfortunately we couldn’t stand still long enough!
Some strategy and the rules of darts were discussed by The School Girl and I as Big D probably cheats in the background.
We all waited patiently to exchange gifts. I got Clerks II on DVD and several sweet LPs to add to my collection: The Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Electric Ladyland and Close To The Edge and 90125 from Yes. I understand that others received gifts, too. Apparently that was news-worthy but I was too busy looking at my stuff!
Baby Toby got love here from his momma, Hoosier Girl and from everyone else; however, he ran every time Sweet Pea came near him.
Sweet Pea was still getting over her illness and got tired several times during the evening. This; however, was just a way to get her tanks refilled for more fun later!
Green Machine was very proud of his double and single bulls-eyes but anyone can throw that well if you practice everyday leading up to our games.
The Green Machine’s sister, Jess, came over for a short time with her man du jour, Joseph, to participate in the fun.
SueBoo ponders her next throw at the dart board and it appears someone said something improbable…again.
I think someone told SueBoo that we were playing marbles and not darts but this didn’t stop G-Man from playing great!
Now, it is not a party until somebody breaks something or something crazy happens. So as not to disappoint, somebody (Jess) locked the bathroom door from the outside and no one inside to unlock the door!
We tried to pick the lock to no avail. Hoosier Girl decided to take the hinges off of the door as a last resort. After the first hinge was removed and she struggled with the second, Green Machine picked the lock like he was G. Gordon Liddy and everyone had a good laugh.
Now is the part of the show where we dance! It looks like Sprockets up in here! (obscure Saturday Night Live/Mike Myers reference).
Apparently, the boys drank their beers so quickly that they just had to make room for more as fast as possible. Not that the bathroom was far away and the door was unlocked by this time. Oh well.
We did our best to keep the girls occupied and having a good time, as well!
There were more darts to be played. Some good darts, some bad darts, some cheating and maybe even a little fighting.
When the night started to wind down we decided it was time for a laugh. We put Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby on and laughed until milk poured from our noses (no cows were harmed during the showing of this film)!
Some people were light-weights and could not hang with the big boys. Never forget the first rule of drinking: the first one to fall asleep gets messed with!
