T.O. won a spelling bee when he was eleven...
So I have been keen on this T.O. book signing when I found out about it approximately a month ago at Borders in the KOP mall. I had all these plans like bringing him some mango juice and a special less spicy batch of "chiwda" (that thing with peanuts and rice crispies). So I had all this stuff ready to go in a nice box to present to him. Then I went in the morning as they were handing out tickets so that people wouldn't just show up 4-5 hours in advance. When I received the ticket they also gave me a 8.5 by 11 piece of paper which was full of restrictions. I knew my whole plan of giving him all these ace things was not happening... The other laboring thing was that it specifically said that he would only sign books, no footballs or jerseys or anything else. That limits acing, but not completely, I could still get books signed. So in the evening Ankit and I went to the mall and I had books galore for him to sign. Each person could get 2 books signed. I had a phonebook, Perry's Handbook for Chemical Engineers, a dictionary and T.O.'s book. While standing in the line browsing through the book we realized some critical errors most significantly "balling" instead of "ballin'". He obviously needed a new editor, so we made a business card for Mr. Owens. Mr. Ankit Disa, Senior Editor along with our corporation SNO-borders and contact numbers. This Steven Singular just wasnt getting the job done, and T.O. needs more business cards for his Roladex im sure. While traveling through the aisles waiting in the line, we came across many "Dummy" books. Camping for Dummies, Poker for Dummies, etc. We thought it would be a solid idea to add "Football for Dummies" to the collection of books for T.O. to sign. When we got near the end of the line the security people and random Border's employees were real ace. They took away all the non-T.O. books let us get our books signed and made us leave. T.O. gave me a weird look because I did the SPADES-wink at him. He probably doesn't know Spades strategy. He was also not willing to give any insight into this Sunday's antics though I tried hard to get the information. He has this one really ace security guard that was there when we went to training camp in Lehigh University. Big fat guy that looks like UNCLE PHIL! I should have gotten his autograph...Next time!
