Okay, I'm going to try to be charmingly specific about what happened at Buffalo Wild Wings saturday night, so that the google adsense robots will hopefully change the ad at the side of my page. Johan, Jimmy and Joel ( yes, all the names start with a J, even the made up ones) went to Buffalo Wild Wings after they got off work at a resturaunt on Saturday. BWW basically a sports bar specializing in chicken wings. Fried chicken wings. Chicken wings with hot sauce on them. They actually have twelve different "signature sauces" with which to cover your chicken wings. I am a freid chicken wing freak. I love fried chicken wings in hot sauce. Okay, enough of that crap, I'm telling a story over here.
So we're at BWW and no one is there. For about 12 minutes, anyway. After that an obnoxious drunk wedding party showed up and totally stole all the servers and help. (that's typical, the service sucks there anyway. But cmon',
12 sauces!) After we gorged on hot wings, I got up to go to the restroom and wash the sauce out of my ears and off the back of my neck. That's when That Guy walked into the restroom and announced himself with a mighty "HELLO!"
Not one to be put off by something odd happening, I replied "What's Up?" while waiting my turn at the cleaning trough.
"Wow!" He said, "Nice hat!" remarking on my horn, and patting it at the same time. Strike one. I proceeded to ignore him and wash my elbows and chin. Later on, back at the table and waiting for the second round, I relived the story to the guys. Weird was the general conjecture, but all of us had been in a wedding party before, so we know that nothing is to be entirely unexpected. Except someone not showing up...
Polishing offf the second round, and waiting for our server again, some random drunk wandered over to our table. He introduced himself as _____ (That Guy) and then he noticed me again.
"Hey! You're that guy! The one with the horn!" (Now I know how
hellboy feels, and strike two.)
After that That Guy asked us our names, starting with Joel. As expected, he replied "Joel." Then he asked Jimmy his name, and much to my shagrin, he announced it was in fact "Carl." Damn. I was gonna say "Joe" but I had to concentrate on not laughing. at least he didn't follow it with "Brotononolewski." I would have busted a gut. So I told That guy theat my name was Toad and Johan said his name was Johan, and That Guy totally Bought it. Then he noticed I was wearing a
Clutch shirt.
"Is that your nickname?" He slurred.
"No, It's a band."I replied.
"A kickass band." Agreed Johan.
"Thatsh the besht nickname eveerr!" Unfortunately it was during this amazing discovery that our waitress returned with the check.
"Hey, [server] Cara, can you think of a better nickname than Clutsch?" she replied with the most patient of get-outta-my-way-you-drunk looks that she could indeed not think of a better nickname. Then there's me, with my cynical, irritated, I am
Jack's endless desire to knock this guy out so I can get on with my own business ass.
"I can think of a better nickname..." I noted as I put my
Carhartt on. "How about Jimmy?" I grinned, threw twenty bucks on the table and left. Before I got to the front door I heard, all too late, "Howsh about Carl?"
