Mighty Wingman
The nickname
America’s Wingman has caught fire. Well, not exactly, but
another blogger has used it in reference to Al.
Speaking of Grubby, he’s making the AC portion of the weekend, but not the Philly party. I’ve got to say I’m a lot disappointed in Grubs. Not to mention
Mean Gene and
Sean.
I told Al I’d look for the “stumbling hippie with the hotter-than-he-should-be-able-to-get wife” at the terminal when they’re picking me up. I have the advantage of having seen pictures, they don’t. Therefore, I can be discreet like a ninja, because, as we all know, ninjas are super sweet.
Aside from actually playing poker live with these guys (I’ve played with Pauly, Pauly with Al, none of us with Iggy or Carter), there’s a few things I’m anxious to see…
>> Who drinks more, Al or Iggy? I’m putting the line at Al minus 2.5. I’ve got the Pauly + BG line for total drinks on Saturday night at an O/U 7.5.
>> How many “bathroom breaks” will Pauly take to stay well ahead of his buzz?
>> How does a youngster like Carter take to hanging with a bunch of middle-aged men for two days straight?
>> Knowing Al and Iggy are married, and Pauly’s a goofy looking bastard (kidding, kidding), does Carter get in the way of any of Al’s machinations to get me laid?
>> Do Sean, Grubs, or Mean Gene sack up and make the Saturday night portion of the trip?
>> Does Al see 7AM on a Sunday morning for the first time in his adult life by having to bring me back to the airport?
>> How many times do I get called “BG,” rather than having them use my real name?
That’s always weird to me, being called by my online pseudonym, rather than by my real name. Granted, I don’t think Iggy necessarily knows my real name, and it’s only because of online chatting that Al knows for sure, but it’s certainly strange to me to respond to “BG,” or worse, “Boy Genius.” It’s actually a little unnerving to be called BG out in public. God forbid I have to explain that to someone.
”You see, I have this website where I whine about my ex-wife and girls I should have dated but didn’t, and I use this pseudonym ‘Boy Genius,’ which comes from ‘BoyGZA,’ which is what I used to type into the NBA Live video games to track my stats because I was a big Wu-Tang fan at the time.”
Yeah, that’ll get me laid.
Speaking of, a chat snippet for you:
Pauly: BG, we’ll try to pick up some loose girls
Pauly: well, at least drunk ones
BG: I’m confident that’s all Al knows are drunk ones.
