patrick sparks is my hero
Only 51 hours, 48 more minutes of sitting behind this desk. The 2nd Annual Cousin's Banquet was much more eventful than you might figure a trip to Denny's would be. Attendance was down this year, with only Jeremy, Aaron, and myself in attendence (I have 11 total 1st cousins). Anyway, after stops at Target and Wal-Mart, we arrived at the "new" Denny's in Owensboro, KY. So, we take our seats, place our orders and all that. Well, the waiter was a little, ummmmmm, offbeat. The busgirl comes and refills Jeremy's drink, and is about to get Aaron a refill when the waiter comes with his drink. The waiter and busgirl take a few playful jabs at each other, and the the busgirl leaves. The waiter then says something about how the busgirl didn't know us, but if she did she would be dancing on the table or something like that. After me and the Horsley boys exchanged perplexed glances, the waiter said that he would go work on that. Assuming he was kidding, I jokingly added, "Tell he we are good tippers." So anyway, he goes and talks to the busgirl, and after a while she comes over and mentions that the waiter had told her that we wanted a table dance. Jeremy replied that that was something that the waiter had come up with. She paused for a second, then said "oh" as she started vacuuming again. I think she was disappointed. So was I, to be honest. Seriously, that would have topped "getting career advice from 'Lady Marmalade'" and "Scooby Doobie Doo, I need a Doobie," as my top moment ever at a Denny's. Come to think of it, trips to Denny's are always weird. Last time I went, I thought the waitress hated me and she thought I hated her. And now, we are getting offers for table dancers. Anyway, I think the waiter thought we were cool and wanted to be liked by us, because a. He tried to pimp out the busgirl for a table dance, and b. He gaves us our drinks for free. Plus, he kept trying to act cool around us. At one point, I ended up giving him college/career advice. It's interesting how these things come full circle (I'll explain the whole Lady Marmalade thing in a later post.) Anyway, Saturday was cool. Christmas dinner . . . a new pair of shoes and 40 bucks were my loot from the "Most Chaotic Christmas Gift Exchange 2004 Edition." Then, I spent most of the evening playing with my 4 year old cousin Maddie's gift, A keyboard/microphone combo, and my 7 year old cousin Andrew's gift, a Sponge Bob video game. And yes, I am 28 years old. But, the best part of the day occured at around 2:00 EST. Patrick Sparks walked to the free throw line and nailed 3 foul shots. The Result: Kentucky 60, Louisville 58 It was a great weekend indeed!!! posted
