Yesterday Carrie was given a cute, litle, sminy cactus as a gift. This'll be important later in the story.
Carrie & I took our respective dads (both named Jim) to a baseball game for Father's Day (like last year). I know Father's Day was like three months ago, but our schedules and available tickets only meshed together to allow us to see this game. I generally don't like baseball because it's a sport. I generally like it less than most other sports because it's a lot slower-paced than, say, basketball or soccer. I like my sports where something's always happening. But this game the Mariners defeated Toronto 13 to 6, so it was really actually very energetic and fast-paced with lots of action. So that makes me say boo-ya, granny. Boo. Ya.
It was a night game so we stopped beforehand at the Pyramid Ale brewery for dinner. They have the best bleu cheese burger ever we discovered. Three of the four of us had one (my dad had a bacon burger instead). For the past few days I'd been feeling kinda contsantly hungry. Not terribly hungry, but just a little bit. So yesterday I stuffed my goddam face. I had the enormous bleu cheese burger, a beer, and all my fries. At the game only a couple of hours later I had a hot dog—and I only paid $3.25 for it, which if you know SafeCo Field you'll know is some kinda miracle. Carrie bought them garlic fries, and I ate half of them. Those garlic fries are holy-crap good. Man-o-man I loves the garlic. I will smell of it for days to come, but tha's otay wit' me, babycakes!
Anyway, it was mucho fun, but we had to drop both our dads off on the way home so we didn't get in until shortly after the midnight time. You know that time. Midnight. We got home and shortly thereafter crawled gratefully into bed. Fantastico came and joined us a while later and while we were petting her I noticed something strange. But Carrie said it first:
"What is that thing in her chin?"
Sure enough, there was an inch-long cactus spine embedded in Fantastico's chin. And I mean really in there. She didn't seem to mind, though. She was purring and rolling her head around and bonking it into us and the bedpost like always. She seemed perfectly happy. I pulled it out anyway, but there was no blood so we figure she's all right.
See? I told you that Carrie getting a cactus was important! You all forgot, didn't you? DIDN'T YOU!? And you call yourselves my friggin' friends.
