And now, a dance lesson: The Robot The Gangsta Card Shuffle (not to be confused with the Truffle Shuffle) Pretty, Pretty Princess The Egyptian The "I'm-a-big-important-general-of-some-war-and-this-is-me-posing-for-the-statue-they-are-erecting-in-my-honor" *UPDATE* Shannon informed me that this is The Captain Morgan. Excuuuuuuse me. The Heisman The Get Down and Shake That Booty This dance lesson will be on here until Shannon actually reads my blog and forces me to remove the embarassing ones. She's no fun when she's sober.

(I threw that old timey expression in there so a certain "29-year-old" would feel right at home reading my blog. You've gotta throw the old timers a bone every once in awhile.) Shannon's husband Tim and dearly departed Amanda joined us at the game, which made it hysterical as they are both drunks. Side-achingly funny drunks, but glug glug none the less. Everyone was concerned about the clouds that showed up late afternoon, so Tim made it a point to dig around and find some ponchos he had. Finally, someone who is a bigger rain wuss than me and Shannon! He's my kind of people! Well, he was my kind of people until he placed the rolled up ponchos strategically under his jacket after the game and rubbed up against Amanda and I, doing a little drunk dance. Then, him and Amanda proceeded to sashay down the ramp, swinging their hips so far left to right it would...
