text msg alex that he's married and will only have sex with one woman for the rest of his life and then text msg my german landlord to "reich on, frauline"; we get in the car and listen to money money and JIMMMMMMAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! until we get to this bar called phils which is quite possibly the most incredible hole on the wall i've ever crawled into&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;now upon entering joel informs me its time to get initiated and that a money shot is coming my way; for the sake of not ruining phils for anyone who hasnt been there i wont divulge just what a money shot is but i will say my nose still fuckin burns from it&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me and stephan start talking to this chick that cant get enough of me impersonating the micheal goulet skit that will ferral does so the whole bar knows i love it when you call me big poppa; i go to request my bar song but realize as im spitting it out that its retro night and manage to spit out TAKE on me instead&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;me and stephan dance with this chick (whos given me her drink) on the stage to a bunch of retro songs before i start gettin a little groggy.  joel reccomends a jagerbomb and im back on my feet busting out to take on me wearing stephans AWESOME hat&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;joel leaves and brings back his gf jen (who buys me a drink, what a sweetheart she is) and naturally the first thing joel and i do is hit on some chicks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we get to talking these two girls and about how the one of them is getting married in two weeks and the other one is the bridesmaid, and i end up buying them a shot of......uhm, well, shit i have no idea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; but it was damn tasty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the bride-to-be asks me how old i think she is and i underball it at 22, beleiving shes no older than 25, but the chick turns out to be the hottest 31 yr old ive ever met, and proceeds to prove it by showing me her id, then takes off into the crowd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;things get really blurry here but i recall chillin with stephan for a bit, and eventually find myself on the dance floor with the girls me and joel were hitting on earlier talking about how i work at a wedding hall and "CAN GET YOU A TOTALLY BITCHIN DEAL ON A WEDDING!", but to my dissapointment she's already got it covered&lt;br /&gt;now i have no idea what i was saying to these girls, but i remember trying to hit on them and i remember doing a good job cause all the one-who-wasnt-getting-married was saying was "HOW MUCH I LIKE THIS FUNNY TALL GUY!" or something to that effect&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;anyways they ended up taking off from the bar, so we pounded back a couple more and gaver' until last call&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we leave phils and who do i see but the two chicks waiting for a ride&lt;br /&gt;we talk some more and stephan decides its time to walk home, they tell me how nice it was to meet me and i say something stupid like the pleasure was all mine&lt;br /&gt;i turn to leave but not before one of the girls grabs my arm and writes &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;both &lt;/span&gt;thier numbers on it.&lt;br /&gt;apparently the pleasure was all thiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so, me stephan and that chick he was with all night take off on the walk home, we hit up campus pizza, wolf down two slices in front of some depressed guy who's clearly lost as shit, he creeps me out so i walk faster and we lose the weirdo, and end up on a hour long hike through half of waterloo throughout which i completly space out and start referring to myself as jesus (pronounced hey-zeus) in the third person&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we make it back to stephans and i pass out on his couch, but not before the chick tells me how some girl wont stop hitting on her cause they had sweet lesbian sex once, so i do my best to have a mini pysch-major schpeel with her b4 im out cold&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;stephan had to work early the next day so i left his house hung over as shit at 8am, tried to get outta waterloo, got lost, asked the same gas station clerk for directions &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;twice&lt;/span&gt; and finally got on the road&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how i drove, i dont know, i imagine jesus (again, pronounce it hey-zeus, its much funnier that way) was watching over me. in any case i left waterloo with the phone numbers of two beutiful ladies and my appetite for good times satisfied&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;proper satisfied&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ps- thanks to joel and his buddies for the waterloo experience, stephan that red label is all urs, johnny and i wont be on speaking terms for a good while&lt;br /&gt;pps- congratulations and best wishes to the blushing-bride to be, Kelly...........or Beverly....i cant remember which was which&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21422684-115499567305084864?l=jimsalmon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jimsalmon.blogspot.com/feeds/115499567305084864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21422684&amp;postID=115499567305084864' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21422684/posts/default/115499567305084864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21422684/posts/default/115499567305084864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jimsalmon.blogspot.com/2006/08/we-like-ardy-that-rocks-party.html' title='We like the Ardy that rocks the party'/><author><name>Jim Salmon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00698047312656133260</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21422684.post-113907723888586811</id><published>2006-02-04T10:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-02-04T10:22:17.546-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Whats the fucking time? Its time to get ill. Or something</title><content type='html'>This shit is so damming I have to write about it    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One of my roommates needed, quite frankly, to have sex.&lt;br /&gt;Now I wont name names, because that’s not kosher, but lets refer to him as Mister F&lt;/p&gt;             &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now we get to the bar, me, Mister F, Mister V, and Mister C.&lt;br /&gt;Good stuff, Good bar, and a Good buzz has got me feeling the faith rrriiiiissssing up in me!&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So I decide to make a bet with Mister V, that Mister F will for sure get laid tonight.&lt;br /&gt;I outline the rules real Kenny Vs. Spenny-like to avoid loopholes:&lt;br /&gt;1. I’m allowed to help&lt;br /&gt;2. Mister V nor Mister C aren’t allowed to fuck it up&lt;br /&gt;Real simple, how I like it, good I think, good, just made 5 bones.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Perfect.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And from there it GOES PERFECTLY&lt;br /&gt;Michelle, an attractive young thing comes bouncing along up to me and asks me to come dance with her cause her ex-boyfriend is here and she wants to make him jealous.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe she thought if it’s me dancing with her the guy is more likely to see us…but anyways, she grabs me and drags me to the dance floor, and along the way I grab Mister F. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Perfect.&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;we dance for two seconds before I inform her I’ve left my coat unguarded and “id better go check it!” and I shove her and Mister F together. And they dance. And dance. And grind. And &lt;i style=""&gt;Grind&lt;/i&gt;. For thirty minutes or so, most of which I spend rubbing in Mister V’s face I’ve just made 5 bones. Until he stops.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;WHY DID HE STOP?! I grab him, pull him to the side, and the three of us look at him like he’s a complete idiot.&lt;br /&gt;We more or less politely ask for an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;Mister F more or less had his eye on this other cutie, whom he believed he had a better chance with.&lt;br /&gt;So that’s fine! Nothing wrong with that! He goes over to her, and they dance! And they dance! And they grind and they grind! &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Perfect.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Now I won’t lie, things got blurry around this point&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But to the best of my recollection they continued to dance for awhile, until we lost sight of him and assumed the best.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Until we saw his cutie dancing without him.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Fuck.&lt;br /&gt;As the night progresses as I search for him, Mister C meets Sonja, who is deserving of a WHOLE other blog entry about her alone.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But we’re not here to discuss Sonja.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;We’re talking about Mister F, who I finally find, making out, HARDCORE, with some hot blonde on the dance floor!&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;PERFECT!!!&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You don’t kiss like &lt;i style=""&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; unless you have the intent for intercourse.&lt;br /&gt;I promptly turn into a smug jackass to Mister V screaming my praises and well placed faith to the good Mister F.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We leave him to it, go to another bar, and chill for two hours.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mister C buys a pitcher of Tuborg, gets a free CD, I see some art thing on the wall that tells me to shut the fuck up cause its time to get ill and completely trips me out,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;we talk about hong kong blood operas, Takashi Miike, music we’ve done it to and what the fuck lotus style is, some guy grabs a chick’s ass at the bar and denies it, she absolutely tweaks the fuck out and gets him thrown out, some guy who’s way to drunk gets way too deep with us and gives us two drinks, Mister V doesn’t ask how much the joint costs to buy, we go to a convenience store and listen to some bitch demand 5 bucks for smokes from her boyfriend, we tell her off, the boyfriend tells her off, and the clerks tell her off, and&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;we go to get pizza at the only place open at a quarter to 3 in the morning in London.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Perfect way to end the Perfect night.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And then.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mister F earns his name.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The sly, smug, smartass, happy-go-lucky, too-drunk-to-walk bastard struts into the pizza joint screaming&lt;br /&gt;HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! THERE ARE MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My mouth drops to hit the floor like a ten ton sack of potatoes.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE AND WHY ARENT U GETTING LAID?!&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;My peripheral vision informs me that Mister V is smiling in my direction, knowing damnwell he just made 5 bones.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We spend some time and ruckus figuring out what the fuck happened to the bastard, but he’s too drunk to know why he didn’t get laid, too drunk to know he even made out with a hot blonde on the dance floor, fuck he’s too drunk to know how he got here! And he just got here!&lt;/p&gt;         &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Fuck.&lt;br /&gt;It was supposed to be soooo eeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssy!&lt;br /&gt;It was PERFECT!&lt;br /&gt;But not perfect enough for mister F.&lt;/p&gt;       &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We walk home along some train tracks and I decide it’s probably good he found us, as it was obviously questionable whether or not he would’ve made it home on his own.&lt;br /&gt;I furthermore believe that he’s probably beating himself up about it enough, and if he isn’t now he would be tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;I take relief in the fact we have our friend, and also in that I decide I’m just not gonna cough up the 5 bones.&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;We get home, I steal some pop tarts that someone has stupidly left in the middle of the kitchen (if they were Scotts, ill buy you a new package; if it was Alex’s, sorry; if it was Stephs, you don’t live here you hooker-bot) and I go to sleep, my faith shaken and my times certainly ill.&lt;br /&gt;Proper ill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;Oh.&lt;br /&gt;The F in Mister F stands for &lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:18;"&gt;FUCK-UP!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21422684-113907723888586811?l=jimsalmon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jimsalmon.blogspot.com/feeds/113907723888586811/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=21422684&amp;postID=113907723888586811' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21422684/posts/default/113907723888586811'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21422684/posts/default/113907723888586811'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jimsalmon.blogspot.com/2006/02/whats-fucking-time-its-time-to-get-ill.html' title='Whats the fucking time?
