UPDATE: Please read the comments as the gentleman who is the focus of this story has somehow found this little blog and commented (supposedly). For the record, I agree with him 100%. Whatever it takes to win.
Went to a nice little party on Friday night near Eastern Market. There was a shuffleboard tournament which my team, “JK squared”, unfortunately exited in the second round after being demolished 15-2 (and its not like we won our first match, we got a first round bye). The highlight of the night though was when, during the second match of the night, a guy got a beer thrown in his face by the woman he was playing against.
Now I have seen beers thrown in people’s faces all the time on TV or in the movies but I’ve never witnessed such an event myself and let me tell you, it is a glorious experience. You can’t really appreciate how much beer is actually in a cup until you see it tossed on someone. The guy who received the beer to the face was drenched, his shirt soaked.
Apparently what set the lady off was the guy whispering to her, as she was about to shoot, “Go back to your home on whore island”, a quote from Anchorman that, while some what obscure, you’d think everyone would know. I guess not. Gots to be careful with your cultural references buddy.
Anyway it was amusing watching the beer-soaked guy try to save face. I mean, what can you really do in that situation? Your soaked in beer and everyone just saw an angry lady throw it in your face. He went with the whole “laugh to keep from crying” method, which I admire and probably would have chosen myself had I been in his shoes. Still, thats fairly hard to pull off and you could tell he was a broken man for the rest of the night.
The listen, as always kids, is be careful who you kinda sorta call a whore, otherwise you might end up with a beer to the face.
