how many times have you...

been approached by someone with a "business idea" involving cuban cigars? *roll eyes*

this weekend my friend who got flushed out of nola invited one of his new co-workers over to their pre-tailgate party. he was talking big game and at one point brought up cigars. my friend ryan went inside to look for me so I could show him my cigar caddy. I had to, so he started asking all these questions that I avoided answering:

him "so how much is a robusto?"
me "it depends, robusto is a size. it varies by brands"

I was hoping that if I was indirect enough he would get the hint. anyway, I got a phone call from a friend asking for directions so I used that as a guise to walk away from him.

he wouldn't go away, when bj got there he asked me again:

him "so how much are mark-ups on cigars"
me "I don't know, I'm not a retailer, but I think it's double whole sale or something"

at that point I was pulling my cutter and lighter out for bj to use on his cigar, and when we were on the deck I started talking to his wife and high fiving his daughter. I thought I had shaken him.

I just got a call from a 512 number, it was him. trying to ask me more questions, I told him the astros game was about to start so I would call him back later.

so anyone in austin looking for a business partner in "a cuban cigar venture"?

I'm so sure he's the only one that has thought of that idea.

:laugh:

I was there. I saw it. And it was funny. Dude was kind of scary. Like pedophile scary.

he was the first person to show up. I honestly thought ryan knew him from his days when he was living in austin. it was later when I was told that he's a new co-worker.

he apparently put on a show during the game for meredith and stacy. needless to say I don't think he'll be invited back.

 

[Legends of the Playground]

What kind of show?

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

getting super wasted and talking shit about alabama, for one thing. you don't talk bad about bama in front of stacy. especially at her own place. oh and he kept on insisting on holding meredith's baby.

He was telling me about how he has all the pics of his nephew and niece in his bathroom around the mirror. And how he loved to cuddle with them.

No was he was touching Baby Legends.

B.J. I love your signature quote, now that I know the story.

had fun meeting you at the game, even though it was only for a 15 minute wated stupor walk to the stadium. I barely remember that part.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

are you serious? I missed that little exchange between you guys.

also, I'm glad I couldn't mail your box out on time. it would have frozen in your snow room during your extended stay in texas.
