Whew, what a week, let's hope the team plays with as much emotion as has been stirred up on here this week. Threads getting deleted, threads about deleted threads getting deleted, posters questioning the loyalty of other posters, posters questioning the mental stability of other posters, posters questioning whether other posters should be banned. Wow, if we don't settle down a little Ames is going to be able to start selling advertising on this site.
Anyway to take a break from all that fun before someone gets a serious typing injury I have a story to share. It may not be a great story, but anything at this point to cool things off is good imo.
If you'll recall (and you probably won't) in my last installment of Gonzo's small world I told the tale of meeting TCondon's mother at my high school reunion in June. Nothing like that experience to make you feel old if all the little nagging aches and pains weren't enough. On to the new story.
So three weeks ago to the day I was pouring beer at Clive after 5. A young lady who started working at my company 6 months or so ago had told me she and some of her friends were going to be attending. About an hour into the event I spotted her group and went over to see if anyone needed a refill. One of her friends had me doing a triple take as I swear to god she was the spitting image of a girl I knew at UNI lo these many years ago. I actually thought whe was going to turn out to be my old friends daughter, the resemblance was uncanny.
So I turned most of my attention to this young lady and explained to her about the resemblance and asked where she was from. Well she was from Boone, which was the wrong town and she asked me my friends name which I told her and she turned out to be no relation whatsoever. I talked to her about some other stuff and she was just as nice a person as could be to go along with being very attractive. What, you thought I would have a friend in college who wasn't attractive? I'm sure she thought at first I was just trying to hit on her, but she never gave me the "get away from me you creepy old guy" attitude. After we talked awhile I'm sure she realized I was harmless and sincere in my tale of her being a double for an old friend.
Now my co-worker and all her friends went to or were still at Drake, so in the course of talking to them I sort of mentioned how UNI was going to kick Drake's butt next week (at that time) and they mostly conceded that and didn't seem to be too big of DU football fans.
So fast forward to last Friday, my coworker tells me she is going to CA5 again with her friends. I say I'm not going but to tell all her Drake friends "nice game" from her UNI coworker. Then this wednesday she was telling me about it and I asked her if Shannon was there and if she passed along the crap from me about the UNI/DU game. She said yeah, but she wasn't really a big Drake fan, she was probably more of a UNI fan anyway because her brother played football there! I'm thinking what, how did this information not come out before this?
That's my story, it's a small world.
