Testicles 1, 2, 3<\/i><\/p>\n

Is this thing on?<\/i><\/p>\n

Yes … they’ve brought back kareoke at the bowling alley on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Long, long time ago …<\/p>\n

I can still remember how the music …<\/p>\n

Used to make me smile.<\/i><\/p>\n

Well, it really wasn’t that long ago … about three or four years I’d say.<\/p>\n

And I’m not sure it was smiling that people were doing, but more like outright laughter.<\/p>\n

At me.<\/p>\n

Back in the early stages of The UnUsual Suspects … they used to have kareoke at the bowling on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

And we’d stay … and take over the bar.<\/p>\n

We’d be the only ones singing for the most part …<\/p>\n

A rotation of Singer, Hottie, Me and then all of The UnUsual Suspects at the time performing under our stage name of The InBreeds.<\/p>\n

Different times … different days.<\/p>\n

Same behavior. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But they stopped having that a couple of years ago … I guess because it was primarily just us at the bar … and they couldn’t justify the cost of kareoke … knowing full well we’d stay and drink anyways without it.<\/p>\n

Bastards.
\n
\nAnyways … for some reason it’s back in the mix,<\/p>\n

And Singer and Hottie took control of the stage Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

It was only the three of us representing The UnUsual Suspects in the bar this night …<\/p>\n

Singer, Hottie and Me.<\/p>\n

Sister had to leave early.<\/p>\n

And Miss Daisy had an alternate engagement … yeah, like anything could be more important that us ?? LOL<\/p>\n

For a change, I didn’t take the microphone once that night …<\/p>\n

But instead watched both Singer and Hottie try out new songs,<\/p>\n

Which they did masterfully !!<\/p>\n

Personal favorite moment … Hottie singing Rock This Town while Singer and I danced to exhaustion … well, at least I was exhausted … I really think you guys should still let me take up social smoking if I’m going to be this out of shape anyways !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Now … it was kind of a quiet night last week …<\/p>\n

In fact, even the other team commented …<\/p>\n

You guys aren’t drinking as much as you normally do, are you feeling okay?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Well … that’s probably because Miss Daisy wasn’t there !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But we did get a surprise visit from Shaft !!!<\/p>\n

Just after the first game started, out of the blue …<\/p>\n

All of the sudden I saw Singer’s face light up and she exclaimed with a smile …<\/p>\n

Hey Kool-Aid !!!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I grabbed the pitcher of beer just as it was about to bounce off the table … and turned to see Shaft ambling towards us !!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So nice !! It was just like old times … well, not quite … Shaft … (though at bowling now … he’s referred to as Straight Shaft) … was sitting where Miss Daisy sits, which is where Hottie sat last year … Singer sits where Shaft used to sit … Hottie sits where Singer used to sit … and Sister and I sit where we’ve always sat. Got it? Good … because it’s not important ! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Anyways … it was a really relaxing, mild night … just easy catching up on times …<\/p>\n

Oh sure … there were a few moments …<\/p>\n

He touched my back fat !<\/i>”<\/p>\n

She got her hand caught between the balls.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I barely made it to work before I had to change my tampon … again.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

… well, I don’t have balls.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

But it was rather uneventful …<\/p>\n

Until …<\/p>\n

Sister got this brilliant idea that we should smuggle in some of the Red Bull she has in her trunk … (she’s driving around with a case of it in her truck … I told you she likes the stuff !!)<\/p>\n

Just buy shots of Jager<\/a> straight up …<\/p>\n

And use her Red Bull as our own mixer !!!<\/p>\n

We’ll save money !!!<\/p>\n

Brilliant idea … and a bit rebellious.<\/p>\n

Sounds fun.<\/p>\n

So Sister gave Shaft her keys …<\/p>\n

And Shaft was going to go pick up the goods …<\/p>\n

Be the Red Bull Pimp.<\/p>\n

He goes out to the car …<\/p>\n

And comes back in 5 minutes later with Red Bull stuffed in his pockets (that’s NOT code for gawd’s sake !!)<\/p>\n

Though … what’s that … a look of fright ??<\/p>\n

You won’t believe what I did !<\/i>” Shaft asserts.<\/p>\n

You’re right, we won’t. Do you have the goods?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Yeah. No … I’m serious … I locked Sister’s keys in her trunk.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Whatever, we don’t believe you … nice try.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Seriously,<\/i>” Shaft began, as he slid cans of Red Bull into Singer’s pwus under the table, “I’ve got A.D.D. … I must have set the keys down in her trunk when I went to load up the cans in my pockets. I don’t have them … do you have a hidden key someplace … a spare?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Nice. We don’t believe you.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

No we don’t. Hey, Drink Bringer … we need four shots of Jager?Thanks … oh yeah, may we have four empy glasses too?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I’m not kidding !!!! I locked her keys in the trunk !!!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Sure … sure. Give her the keys !<\/i>”<\/p>\n

I’m not kidding !!! Really … do you have a spare at home … I’ll go get them.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Here you go … four shot of Jager … and four empty glasses … that’s $18.00.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Here’s a spare key … I have it from a few weeks ago when I lost them myself.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Thanks … be right back.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Hey … what did we just save ourselves smuggling Red Bull … only like a $1.50 ?<\/i>”<\/p>\n

Yeah … something like that … I’m not sure it was worth it,<\/i>” Singer said, pouring the Red Bull she had hidden in her pwus into the glasses and passing them around to each of us.<\/p>\n

Hey … see … here are her keys,<\/i>” Shaft said, returning with the original set and the spare Sister had given him.<\/p>\n

He’s not kidding, the key’s been outside … it’s cold.<\/i>”<\/p>\n

And so we consumed our Jager and smuggled Red Bull combo … all keys found … and with the company of Shaft enjoyed.<\/p>\n

For a mild, quiet night … it was nice that we still found a way to make it interesting.<\/p>\n

And as Singer, Hottie and Sister all said …<\/p>\n

It was really nice seeing Shaft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
