Week 15 Rankings

First let me apologize to everyone for not posting any rankings last week.  There is no excuse; however you're going to hear one anyways.

So here's the story:

Sitting at work at 7:00 at night last Wednesday (not something I ever enjoy, but I had no choice) my buddy sends me a text:  "Butter, what are you doing tonight?"  For those of you who don't know, Butter is my nickname.  There's a long semi-boring story behind it, which I will save for another time.

So anyways, he asks me what I'm doing, which I respond with, "At work, leaving shortly, going home to eat dinner.  But if you want to get up to a shenanigan or two, I'm up for it.  I could use a drink anyways after the day I've had."

I get a phone call immediately following the text from my buddy saying he's staying at a hotel tonight in the city of Pittsburgh because he has business he needs to do early in the morning the next day.  He asks if I want to hang out tonight, dinner, maybe a bar or two, see where the night goes.  Of course I say yes. 

About two hours later I'm sitting a Japanese steak house called Nakama eating filet mignon and fried rice (which actually wasn't that good at all even though I had been told Nakama had great food).  We finish that, I look at my phone and see what bars are around us.  Turns out a bar called Carson City Saloon has $2.00 Crown Royal drinks every Wednesday from 10:00-12:00.  Crown is our favorite type of alcohol, so clearly we have to go.

One hour later and $18.00 worth of Crown Royal drinks (so freaking cheap.  Usually at least $5.00 a drink, and in this case we each had about 4 drinks a piece for only $18.00), we ask this young kid bartending what is there to do around here, whic is code for, where do the hot chicks hang out on a Wednesday night.  He says this bar a couple blocks down has a college crowd that picks up around 11:30 at night.

Night is young, so we go.  Place is slightly dead but we decide to post up at the corner of the bar anyways.  We order a couple more drinks (Crown Royal still) and proceed to shout out random names at the hot bartender until we can get her to turn around and look at us.  Turns out her name is Sam.  I had guessed Samantha on about my 10th name, so I was real close.

We have one more drink, my buddy turns me and says, hey, go talk to that guy at the table behind us (a group of about 10 people alltogether, a mix of girls and guys) and tell him that we are we work for Crown Royal and that we want to buy him a drink.  I look at him and ask if he's serious, and he says absolutely.

So I say to myself, what the hell, I can make this guy believe we work for Crown Royal.  I walk over to the guy, introduce myself as a representative of Crown Royal, point to my buddy and say he is one too, and then finish by saying we want to buy him a drink.  Of course he doesn't believe me at first, so I say, come on man, seriously, why the hell would I randomly walk up to you introudce myself as a Crown Royal Rep, and offer to buy you a drink if it's not true.  So he goes, yeah man, you're right, it's too ridiculous not to be true.

So we buy him a drink, the other 8-9 people a drink, all of Crown Royal of course since we are Crown Royal reps.  Then we all do a shot of Crown Royal together.  At that point my buddy and are feeling chocolate wasted, so as we are standing at the corner of the bar that we've hijacked, as anyone comes up (only girls of course at this point), we offer to buy them a drink.  Of course they look suspiciously at us, but they figure it's a free drink, so why the hell not.

This goes on for a while, drinking lots of Crown Royal, I meet a group of 3 girls, of which one is pretty cute, so my buddy says to go for it, and I do.  I chat her up a little.  Turns out she loves the Green Bay Packers!!!!  I'm like, freaking awesome, my favorite team too!!!

As I'm talking to this girl my buddy says he wants to leave, I say sure, I turn to the girl and say, hey do you and your friends want to come with us.  She wants to know we are going, I tell her where (which I cannot speak of in this blog as it is inappropriate, but two drunk guys, I'm sure you can figure it out), she says she really wants to go with us which surprises the hell out of me and I think is completely awesome!!  She asks her friends, they suck and say no, and she says she can't leave her friends.  So my buddy and walk out the door, catch a cab and take off.  (should have got her phone number by the way, but oh well, not used to doing that)

Yada Yada Yada, I get home at 5:00 in the morning and wake up an hour and 15 minutes later to shower and go to work.

So that's my excuse.  I won't lie, going out with my buddy, way more fun than ranking fantasy football players.  But nontheless I apologize to those of you who depend on this week and week out, while at the same point, seriously, at 31 and single, you can't blame me.
