Dear Gournal,
I have a friend named Keith. Keith plays a lot of ultimate frisbee and thats good because I always remember Keith as being very good at frisbee. He has a certain grace of control when he plays frisbee. One day Keith told me over the telephone that 3 whole beers fit inside of one frisbee. He told me this right after he told me the greatest recipe for Angel Food Cake filled with a cream cheese compote. delicious... This frisbee and beer trick maybe sounded a little impossible at first but I was convinced when Keith confessed he had completed the feat himself. It was interesting because it was described to me as a C of C ultimate frisbee team man ritual. Pretty cool.
3-6 months later...
I was at a party on Friday night. I didn't even know personally the people that lived in this house but things like that don't matter. These guys or girls had a line of frisbess maybe 16 discs long hanging on the wall. Next, I was talking to this kid Pat who plays the bass big time, hes real talented. Making small talk i mentioned the frisbees and then mentioned the 3 beer frisbee trick, I didn't tell him about my friend Keith. Of course he doesn't believe me and of course hes gonna prove it. Drunken pat the bass player snags a frisbee from the wall and walks it to the keg, meets someone at the keg and runs to grab one more frisbee for them. When he comes back with 2 frisbees in his hands hes caught at the door by a male homeowner. This dude is pissed. He says those frisbees are irreplaceable and very very special. He orders pat the bass player to go right away and put them back. After pointlessly defending himself for a few he does what hes told. After a few moments of calm the homeowner male comes back and is pissed again. There is one frisbee missing from the wall. He seems amazed that during a big party someone would have the nerve to take a sports frisbee disc off a wall full of them. Each of his discs had a life full of memories and happenstances. The missing frisbee was killing him.
Next, my friend Chrissy left the room and walked back in 10 seconds later with great news for the male homeowner. The frisbee had been located (behind a chair) and was replaced on its perch in the frisbee wall chain. The male homeowner was relieved.
What a silly dude the homeowner was. He kept saying 'do you think im kidding?!?!?" i was cracking up because I thought he really was. The point of this story is that male homeowner was not a cool guy and the whole thing was my friend Keith's fault.
