20,000 is a big number

So yeah. Went to the bar last night with Pete and Mike, because Mike heard through the grapevine months ago that the have beer pong on Tuesday nights. We get there and of course nothing is going on. Eventually it is discovered that, yes, there will be beer pong so Mike and Pete rejoice. However, to dampen the news, we find out that it is not played with beer. Instead, water is used. This is not cool. But, because they advertise for the beer pong tournaments, they have to use water.

Pete celebrates by coming back from an astronomical hole and defeating Mike in darts (Cricket). This sends Mike into dispair. More beer is ordered.

People start filing in (or as I like to say, "Here comes the booty") and it's getting pretty crowded. After much discussion and wavering through names like "Raped Angels", "Ranch Dressing-Glazed Dead Babies", "The Godfathers", "Team Tyson" and the more offensive "Fag Beaters", Pete and Mike settle on "Kong Dongs" as their Beer Pong name. This is humorous. I would have preferred "Ranch Dressing-Glazed Dead Babies", but it's not my team. I suck at beer pong and will watch.

I make small talk with a few hot girls. Maura, who I am acquainted with, introduces me to everyone as "from Massachusetts". One girl is from Keene, NH. This keeps my interest for about a minute.

Well, after Mike and Pete win their first game, I leave because I am a loser and I am slightly buzzed so I must go home. Pete later calls because he wanted to leave and Mike was still inside the bar making an ass out of himself. I pick up Pete and drop him off. Later, I learn that not only did Mike leave the bar with 2 complete strangers (walked all the way back to his apartment no less...I'm surprised they didn't kill him), but he was going to go to a party with them. You guess what happens. Yeah, they end up robbing Shelly and taking off.

Pretty slick Mike. Nice job.

Nate did his Senior Thesis presentation today, and like most of the things Nate does, it was impressive. I had already seen most of everything (I use the Firefox theme, and the weather application to check the weather), but it was still neat to see how Nate presented to everyone. They all seemed impressed and Nate is going to go places (to see his stuff, go to thesis.nathanweller.com). Pete presented his yesterday and everyone got a kick out of it. That's not online, but it's a pretty cool movie. He got asked about his Quentin Tarentino-like influence, which is evident if you know Pete. I am not cool, nor smart, enough to do a Senior Thesis. I congratulate both of them on completing it and wish them luck with whatever they wish to do.
-----------------------------------
Braves win today, 5-2. They looked awfully shakey from what I saw. I guess Chipper hit a homerun, which is nice since he's been hurt. He looked rough running the bases though.

Celtics lost last night, 90-85, at home to the Pacers. They are now down 3-2 in the Series and have to go to Indiana to try and send it back to Boston for a Game 7. This is unlikely. They have been extremely disappointing, outside of their two blowout wins. How they can win by 20+ twice, and lose every other game is a mystery.

So Joe,

I read todays entry. I like the part about the robbery, but how come Shelley is the one who got robbed and not Mike?

When I was in Cape Verde over springbreak, this boy Jake from school got robbed by some prostitutes. It was kind of funny since he took off drunk to go "punch the punta" and got picked up by some cops that did not speak english obviously.

Anyway....

have fun!

Amy
