On Father's Day, we had a nice brunch and then
proceeded to my game. Although the season ends next week, this was my last game because I'm taking my dad to
the Gold Cup Final at Soldier Field in Chicago next Sunday. Being my last game, I
decided to make the most of it and score a SWEET SWEET goal while my kids cheered from the sideline. It was awesome. My brother then
proceeded to get a shutout in goal and we won 1-0. I know you all love the soccer updates on here, so while this one is basically done, you can rest assured an Arsenal post will follow shortly as the schedule was just released as were Arsenal's new jerseys... not to mention the major transfer news that is supposed to be released soon.
Yesterday, I had to take my kids to Brighton to meet up w/ their mom and we drove through Taco Bell on the way. My daughter wanted a soft taco w/ beans instead of meat, but believe it or not, the Taco Bell taco engineers weren't on their game and gave her a beef taco. I'd gone over the order 3 or 4 times w/ the drive through guy so the fact that I then had to go inside pissed me off. It pissed my daughter off too; she even asked the dude at the register how hard it really is to make a bean taco. After she and I over reacted for a few minutes and were feeling absolutely like the bad mother fuckers we are, the
"Theme to Shaft" came on their in-store radio. It was perfect. She didn't quite understand, but it was almost as sweet as my goal. We were both the cats that wouldn't cop out, in fact, we made
Shaft look like
Shaft in Africa!
On my way home from Brighton, I had to take back-roads due to the construction, and as I passed the
Argo Livery in Ann Arbor, I decided, on a whim, to go kayaking. I hadn't been
canoeing in years, & I'd never gone kayaking before, but the day was so beautiful and I just happened to have a little cash on me so I threw down the 24 bucks & had a great time. The fact that I'd never been in a kayak was made abundantly clear when I tried to pull over to the side but made a 90 degree turn & got caught in the current & subsequently flipped over & sank. The sat the kayak on the bottom of the Huron River while my flip-flops, my hat, my shirt & my life
preserver were floating away. I saved all but the hat & finally pulled the kayak to shore and emptied it out. Not before a few people saw though. Maybe I'm not quite the bad mother fucker I'd been lead to believe I was.
No, I am, as evidenced by happy hour at
Haabs. I met Greg for a drink at Sidetrack and then went to
Haabs to meet up w/ Stacey. People had been telling me to go there for quite a while, but for some reason I never did. Holy Shit!!! It's awesome. Drinks & appetizers are all 2 bucks each. I had 2 Manhattans, an Old Fashioned, & shrimp
cocktail while Stacey had a gin and tonic, an old fashioned & a rusty nail. We both slapped down 10 bucks & were out of there drunk as skunks. I proceeded to my brother's softball game & then to the Tap Room for a couple more beers.

So the theme to Shaft didn't start playing when you flipped your kayak? Too bad.
It was actually a whiskey sour, not a rusty nail, that was my second drink. The Manhattans are WAY too intense for me.
Haabs is such a weird mix of vintage and kitsch, with it's belt-driven ceiling fans, country kitchen decor and the waiter that kept giving us the thumbs up. I love it.
hen I flipped the kayak, I think I faintly heard the music from The Jerk playing somewhere off in the distance.
At least you didn't hear the music from Deliverance.
So did someone really drink a rusty nail? Those things are weird. Drambuie is just an odd liquor.
No, I was mistaken. She had a whiskey sour. She talked about getting a rusty nail though.
Your not the bad mother fucker you think you are.
