the streak
Today I went to a wedding. At the reception, I caught the garter belt. This is the 4th time I've caught it, over a span of 12 year, proving that this has no actual magic powers. Not that the guys try to catch it for that anyway, we just like competitions where we try and catch stuff. But, then it occured to me . . .
This is the second wedding reception in a row that I've caught this thing.
That's right, I have a streak going. And, I think I have 4 more weddings this year, which means I could get this thing up to six before 06 is done. Which begs the question, what is the record for this? I think my record proves that I am the man to pull this off.
It's not easy being this awesome.
(Note: We may have a technicality here. The third one I caught, which would be the first one in this streak, is technically credited to Luke Wentz. See, at this particular reception, as I headed up for the tossing, Shannon stopped me and asked me to take Luke up there, which I was happy to do. I put him up on my shoulders, and was still able to catch it. But, since I was up there with a small child, I of course had to hand it to him like he caught it. Five minutes later, he was wearing it on his head. Since I actually caught it though, I think it's part of the streak.)
