Well,
even if I do fail out of school this semester because I'm not doing my work, my
student career here at UMBC will have been worth it. And that is because I
finally, after five years of losing in the championship game, won indoor
volleyball sixes. And it's a good thing too. Because after every year I've
lost, I've taken that stupid mug (of which I had accumulated 12 before I
started giving them away as prizes), and punted the thing in frustration. And
now that they're glass, I imagine it would have hurt a lot more. Anyway, what
made it even better was that after two straight years of losing to Tony's team
(not our Tony, but evil Tony, the Asian one. He's not really evil, we just call
him evil Tony because we all met "good Tony," the blond one, first.
So if you ever meet another Dustin, he will be known as "evil
Dustin." Unless of course you have already met another Dustin, because I
cannot be known as "evil Dustin," so we make an exception to that
rule and call the first Dustin "first Dustin." OK, I'm going to
return to my sentence now), well, anyway, after two years of losing to evil
Tony's team in the finals, we beat them. It was neat. Lots of people showed up.
I fell down. They all laughed at me. So I punched them in the genitals. I like
monkeys.
Alright, now that that's over, I have to explain to you my family. There's a
reason I am the way I am. Our entire family has the same sort of low-brow, off
the wall sense of humor that I do. I remember this every holiday (for example
Thanksgiving). I sat a little ways away from my uncle Eddie, who is over 50
years old and having another kid (well, his wife is having a kid. You know what
I mean). That little fact has nothing to do with what I'm about to tell you,
except that there's gonna be more little annoying kids I'm going to have to
chase around the table playing dinosaur within the next few years. Anyway, we
were eating our huge turkey dinner (Grandma made 15 pounds of mashed potatoes),
and my uncle Eddie just finished his meal. He grunts, grabs his full tummy, and
casually says...
Quote Of the Day 11/14
"Boy!... I could sure go for a Snickers Bar."
-My Wacky Uncle Eddie
Most of the family laughed at this "most-bizarre thing he could think of to
say" statement. My grandmother didn't see the humor in it. I can still
hear her bitching to him about not realizing the true spirit of the holidays.
Still crapping mashed potatoes,
Extendo.
Still Standing Right Here...
