My vision of Dinner at the RX Thanksgiving Party..........
We peer in to see the beautiful Scarlett in her traditional Thanksgiving apron, putting the finishing touches on the bountiful meal she has prepared for the gang........She asks Ken to help her put the turkey in the oven, because it is quite heavy, he hollars back that he is quite busy watching the line moves, and arguing with Pete Rose Jr., and that he was thinking about getting her a new fur coat, she smiles, and says "nevermind, how heavy could the damn thing be anyway..."....:lol: ........Shrink is no "rookie" at this
The doorbell rings, and the first to arrive is Fishhead.....Not because he likes to get their early, but he just went ahead and came over on his way home from an all night binge.....he staggers in, freshens up in the bathroom a little, then apologizes to Scarlett for parking on her shrubs......"I used to drive a cab you know", he says to Scarlett...
More of the guest start to arrive, and everyone is having fun.....Bigbet arrives in a "Bengal-striped" tuxedo, and proceeds to do the Icky shuffle around the table while pronouncing Carson Palmer as the second coming....He is quite irked that they are not on the Thanksgiving day games.....General proudly exclaims that the "horse" are on this thanksgiving, and starts to describe how they will dismantle the Lions today.....Dante, being the usual wisecracker, makes a joke that he hasnt seen General go this long without posting before, and General begins to noticably sweat, and soon heads for the study to "check the boards"......
More of the guests have arrived, and Scarlett is beginning to bring the food to the table.....Arguments insue over who to play, and everyone anxiously awaits as Slim's phone keeps ringing, to see who the "squares" are on......
Truelyhandicapping takes the lead by announcing he has played the bears moneyline, bears in first quarter, bears over in first quarter, bears to score first, bears to win the coin flip, dallas to throw first interception, bears for the half, bears over for the half, and yes to score in first 7:30....He then proceeds to say he didnt really like this game, or he would have played more..
Bucsfan organizes a contest with many of the guests, as each is drawing out a score for the game....the one who gets the correct score wins the pot.....However, there is some discrepancy, and Playersonly has noticed a player seemed to peek into the hat while drawing his number out, and Playersonly is calling for a new "draw"..........Panther stands up and explains a new "draw" might not be good for Playersonly's health, and PO69 decides to keep his score of 11-8 at the half......
Shrink has emerged from the study to announce that he and the "syndicate" are on the Colts today, and Pete Rose Jr begins to noticably sob.....He heard Ken tell a guest that he wasnt "lyin" about how much he won, and Peterosejr thought that meant ken was playing the Lions, and placed his bet on Detroit....Not again.....
As the food arrives at the table, the guests are seated by their place cards....Noticeably Raiders and Bucsfan are at opposite ends of the table, as are Journeyman and PO69,and Lander and Gameface...
Kodiak, Co-Captain, and Truelyhandicapping seem slightly offended that they have been placed at the "kiddies" table, but Co-Captain is quick to point out that his turkey leg is bigger, and that the other 2 are just jealous basher who wish they had his turkey leg......Kodiak, actually has 3 seats at the table, because when Scarlett put out the place cards, she didnt realize 3 of the names were all him, so he has room to stretch.....
Identity has just shown up and no one is sure where to put her? with the men? or with the women?......But he/she decided she cant stay anyway, they lost their GOY halftime play and arent allowed to eat with us anyway....problem solved...
A phone call from GutterRat puts a smile on everyones face, until Ken realizes he called collect, and simply wanted to know if anyone was giving out "free" accounts for the Holiday......:nono5:
Truely and Kodiak are now arguing that they couldnt have gotten the line that they say they played on the game, and it was starting to get ugly until Cocaptain mentioned they might have a "local" with the way off line....They seem calmed down now......
Fishhead asks to make the toast, and simultaneously 40 guests hollar "NO!!"
Kermit has just been wheeled into the table, seems he had a few too many "morning eye openers' today, and is a little tipsy......He seems fine now though, just leave him in the chair.....
Noreaga announces that he "refuses" to eat the "Bush" beans, and Gameface clocks him from the side......they have both decided to eat whats on their plates.....
Journeyman announces he will have to leave early to meet with a "hottie" he met over the net, that lives in Ken's general area.....He says he decided to kill 2 birds with one stone on the trip, but is now nervous, because he realizes he forgot to pack a "new" pair of sneakers for the date.....
Scarlett has made a wonderful hostess, and the meal was delicious, as the table begins to be cleared......Everyone seems stuffed and content.....
Playeronly complains that his slice of pumpkin pie didnt seem as big as some others, but Journeyman agrees to "mail" him another pumpkin pie when he gets home, to make him happy.....
Dante is noticeably worn out, and for the first time all day, we notice him "not" smiling, seems he is just too tired.....
General is trying to get some of the crew to exercise a few minutes to shed those calories they just consumed, but a chorus of "f*ck you", "exercise this", and "drop dead jarhead", leads him to think this is futile, so he grabs a Busch and enjoys the game.....
Some of the guests have headed out, and the party is winding down.....
Amazing to hear how everyone "won" on the games, yet people had different sides.......JJ proclaims a "bloody" day for the books and announces at least 3 shops will shut down before Xmas..........
All in all, it seemed like a fun dinner for all......
I cant wait to see what Xmas brings...........
