Big Al’s Blog: Curtis, World Records and Compromises

Curtis is back! and I think he even remembered me. Either way, he is back with me to stay for a while. It doesn’t look like I’ll be going out of town any time soon. Most of the Condos and Hotels that I would normally stay at are booked up solid for the holidays. I can’t tell you the last holiday season that I didn’t go to Mexico for at LEAST 3-4 days. But this year, it looks like I won’t be going at all. I think there is a 3 day weekend sometime in January that would allow me to go then.

And I have a big group of Oakland Raider fans coming to the bar tonight and they are bringing Turkeys. We will be frying up somewhere between 40-50 turkeys. I wonder if this is a world record? Man, how pissed would J-Si be if I got in the Guiness book of world records for something as stupid as the worlds biggest turkey fry??? Haha. Anyway, I will be frying and singing tonight all night long. Yup, Karaoke is happening too. I may just sing my Karaoke song while I’m holding a fried turkey. And Speaking of bar events, just in case you were wondering, Santa and his Reindeer will be stopping by on Wednesday, December 18. It will be the 3rd time for this event, so I guess I can officially call it a weekend tradition.

And speaking of traditions, Ladies, I need to ask you all a question. When we are eating leftovers, in fact, they weren’t even real left overs, they were pizza from a previous meal earlier in the day that I had purchased from one of my favorite pizza places. Ok, here’s the question: When we are coming home with a box of wings and leftover pizza, is it really that big of a deal if us dudes start eating while we are standing in the kitchen and we skip the whole “Plate and TV tray” portion of the evening? Dr. Girlfriend got a little angry at me for doing just that. We got back to my place. I put the box of wings on the kitchen counter and opened it up and started eating. They are freaking wings! She, on the other hand, got the pizza that I had left in the fridge at lunchtime. She turned on the oven. NOT the microwave, she turned on the oven below the stove, meaning this is going to take 10-15 minutes at least. She then went and got our usual TV trays and set them in front of the tv. While she was doing that, I’m munching on my 2nd wing while standing in the kitchen. When she realized what I was doing, she gave me the Death Stare. She calmly asked, “Are you going to wait for me?” again, they were wings. Wings are made to be eaten ANYWHERE! That’s why they call them wings…because they can be eaten on the FLY! Haha…anyway, after a brief “Discussion” I put my 5th wing down and waited for the pizza to be done and we ate the rest of the meal together while watching tv.

Aren’t compromises fun?
