Bus Trip

I promised that I would blog about what happened on the bus to Shreveport. I have a corned beef with cabbage in the crock pot. Here goes.

First I must explain what happened on game night. We normally have game night at Scotts on Thursday night. I showed up at six and they were well into two games of Yahtzee. Scott was really quiet. Very unlike him. Our friendly Ashley Rhone always has something to say. Jerry was being his usual punk-ass, so I thought nothing of it. Until Jerry mouthed off one too many times and Scott laid into him. again nothing unusual. Game night ended and I couldn't help but think how sullen Scott had been.

Showed up at Jesse's around 7:45 on saturday. As we were packing the car Scott told me he broke up with Jerry after SEVENTEEN YEARS. I can understand why but it seems like a lot of time invested. He deserves someone who treats him better. Jerry still has my copy of the sixth Harry potter book. We got situated and on the road about 9:15. Jesse was like some kind of roided up boy scout. He was super prepared. Sandwiches, chex mix, apples, soda, etc. They put in 'The Sweetest Thing' on the DVD player. Let me just say:



I was gonna save that for friday but figured, what the hell. Eric was trying to get people to come participate in The Courts Valentines Day fundraiser. At first I agreed. then I looked up at the daggers Jesse was shooting me. To be honest I would rather spend Valentines with him than doing a drag show. Here is a great idea for a fundraiser. By all means anybody can steal this.

Surf and Turf Gala. Think 'Gay Prom' but with edible romantical type food stuffs. At that point if you could get everything lined up, then decide if you want to have a drag show. Personally, I have never slow danced with my baby. For those of you who have seen my dancing abilities, slow dancing is as good as I can dance. I would buy a ticket for that and I can bet I know a few Fort Worth hotels that would be happy to host.

When we got to Harrahs they gave us ten free dollars in slot play and we got free buffet after thirty minutes of play. I spent my free money figuring out how to play the penny slots. One of our party came by and told me everyone was going to the buffet. I had been playing for almost an hour. Jesse and Scott had already gotten plates and a small booth. I decided to sit with people I don't get to see very often. All the food was bad for you and huge portions. In the asian area they had this stuff that was bright red and might have been sweet and sour pork. It had no flavor but i ate it anyway. This decision will come back to haunt me. After I ate I sat and chatted with Jesse and Scott.

Back in the casino time flew by. I broke even as they were calling us to get back on the bus. The casino was doing a 'lottery' to get a number they swiped your card. One of the girls in our party won $100 in slot play. They thought you could just put them in the machine and cash them out. WRONG!!!! We waited for them to play it all. This made us late leaving.

Shortly past the middle of nowhere and halfway through 27 Dresses, my lunch attacked my GI tract. If you have never tried to use the bathroom in a moving vehicle, I wouldn't recomend it. Nobody warned me we were going to stop. So I am trying in vain to wipe as the bus is stopping. It did clear out my bowel. I now know why there are handles in those toilets. It's not for leverage.

Another bus trip should be happening in May or June.

If I have never mentioned it before I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Adam Sandler. They put in The Wedding Singer for the last hour of the trip. Drew Berrymore's natural charm is the only thing that makes that film watchable.

We left at 9:15 and got home at 11:30. I sat on my ass for most of that time and I was exhausted the next day and am still trying to recover fully.

The happiness should be up late thursday night. I am going to explain why I don't make my own videos.
