| The Friday night that turned into an episode of 24. (note: times have been adjusted for more dramatic effects)
The following takes place between 10 P.M. and 11 P.M.
10:00 P.M. Judy is in the washroom preparing herself for
the evening as Alex waits in her room, browsing the internet for HD
solutions. Just as Alex finds the answer to his HDMI delima, his cell
phone goes off, filling the room with Disney's Under the Sea. "Hello?" "Stittle meister! Whatchu up to?" "Im heading out to bubble tea and Honest Lawyers with Judy and her friends. What's up?" "You're
going out with Judy and her friends? You don't want to be that guy that
nobody really knows and nobody really wants there. It will be awkward
and socially embarassing. We should do something, get some good times
rolling." Judy comes out of the washroom. "Who's on the phone?" "It's Don, he wants to do something tonight." "Oh, you should go out with him then." "Are you sure? What about your friends?" "Don't worry about it, just drop me off. I'll tell them you couldn't make it." "Don, we're a go. Round up the troops and I'll get back to you after I've dropped off Judy." "Will do, later"
Alex and Judy pile into the PT and head off towards the bubble tea
shop where they are to meet up with Judy's friends. Meanwhile Don makes
a call to Freddy, who is just getting off work, but is in for
whatever is going down.
"See ya later! Have fun tonight!" Alex pulls away from the bubble
tea shop, awkwardly waving bye to Judy's friends, whom she told he
could not make it. Pulling out his cell phone he calls Don,
anxiously awaiting the plans for the evening.
"Don, what's the status?" "I called Freddy, he's in." "That's it? I just made an ass out of myself and you called one person? We better do something!" "Uh, I also called Lannie but he's not answering his phone." "Alright,
I'll call Shannon and Yang. Im on my way home now, will let you know
what's happening when I get back." Yang's cell phone goes straight to
his answering machine, Shannon goes on standby. Still with no plans on
what to do and two key members of the crew having gone dark, the
outlook for the evening is bleak at best. Judy is going to have words. 10:08:32 P.M. 10:12:27 P.M.
Alex is at home calling Don, coordinating what will happen tonight.
After a short discussion no plans are made, but it is determined
that they are, at the very least, going to need beer. Looking for
ideas they turn to MSN in hopes that either Yang or Lannie is online
and can get the ball rolling. They catch a break, Lannie is there.
Bombarding him with messages he eventually responds, but is not going
to come out because he has a rugby game and does not want to be hung
over and dehydrated tomorrow. Unhappy with his response, Don and Alex
have a discussion. Knowing that Lannie has beers left over from the
cottage, and Don and Alex need beer, they decide to try and heist it
off Lannie. Now this beer was meant for a bbq at Yang's house so asking
directly would surely result in a 'no' answer from Lannie. Instead,
Alex informs Lannie that the party that's happening tonight is at
Yang's house and a bunch of people are going to be there. This
persuades Lannie to allow Don and Alex to pick up the beer from his
place.
"When are you guys going to pick it up?" "Within the hour. Don says 10 minutes" "Alright"
Meanwhile, Freddy has arrived home and gets filled in on the
plan. He is quite happy with the beer heist and suggests going to
a new bar he knows after pre-drinking the 'free'
beers. Everyone is happy with the idea and the night seems to be
taking a twist for the better. Both beer and plans have been
established. Ding, the familiar MSN message indicator goes off on
Alex's computer, it's Lannie. "Actually, I have decided to come. Also, Im going to
bring along Jessica because we were supposed to do something
tonight. Can I borrow a shirt? I haven't done laundry." 10:18:38 P.M. 10:22:12 P.M.
"What do we do? Lannie wants to come to this party that doesn't exist!" "We could tell him the truth and just go to the bar." "But what about the beer? It will save us tons of money and we'll have owned Lannie!" "I dont see a way out of this. Do you?" "Shut up, let me think." "How
about this? We obtain Yang's home phone number. Then, we tell Lannie we
can't drive him so he'll need to drive himself and Jessica. To avoid
Lannie driving with us, we let him know we are leaving now and explain
us arriving later with some excuse. When Lannie gets there, we have
Yang tell him the party was cancelled because of some disaster.
However, since Lannie is already there, Yang will convince him he might
as well drop off the beer for the bbq next week. Afterwards, we swing
by and pick up the loot." "That is so crazy it might just work."
Alex phones Kun, Yvonne, and Vivian in an attempt to get to
Yang's home phone number so they can pull off their plan. Only one of
them answers, and that person does not have Yang's home phone
number. Meanwhile, Lannie has been trying to contact everyone because
no one is responding to him. His confusion and anger at this 'darkness'
is rising. Alex calls Freddy and fills him in on the situation and how
he can not find Yang's home number. Together they think of a solution.
By roughly knowing where Yang lives, they can google maps his street,
cross reference with his last name, and come up with a phone number.
Success! Quickly phoning up Yang and informing him of the situation,
Yang agrees to go along with the plan. As it turns out, Yang's cell
phone is broken and that's why it went straight to his machine. Once
everyone is onboard, Don and Freddy decide to head over to Alex's house
so they can get his car out of the driveway. In the meantime, Alex
calls Lannie to explain his absense.
"Hey Lannie, sorry I haven't responded to any of your messages. I
was taking a crap and then I just hung around for awhile in my
underwear, you know how it is." "Argh, you are so annoying! You ended up taking so long that I put the beer in a cooler and filled it with ice." "Ice eh? Nice, way to plan ahead." "Yea but it's probably melted since you asses are taking so long. Anyways, so what's the plan are we leaving now?" "Yea,
we're about ready to go here, just waiting on Don and Freddy to arrive.
I only have three seats in the Cruiser, the other one is in the garage.
I am way too lazy to take it out but I figure it's ok since you'll
probably drive yourself anyways. You gotta get back early tonight for
rugby right? Don, Freddy and I are most likely gonna get smashed and
crash there." "Alright, Im heading into the elevator now. Im
gonna drive myself and Jessica. So I guess I'll just drop by now and
we'll go from there." "Uhh, yea, hold on..."
Alex puts the phone on hold and then hangs up after a few minutes.
10:32:18 P.M. 10:36:28 P.M.
Alex is in his car, racing to Don's house, hoping to catch him
as he walks over since he is not answering his cell phone. Alex also
calls Freddy, informing him that if Lannie calls him, Freddy is with
him and they are on their way to Don's. Now it was time for Alex to
explain hanging up on Lannie.
"Hey Lannie, sorry about before, Freddy just walked in the door and
distracted me. At the same time Don was calling on the other line. I
answered the phone call from Don and he says he is running late and we
should pick him up from his house so me and Freddy are heading there
now." "ARGH, you guys are extremely annoying! I'll head over and
pick up Jessica and meet you guys at Yangs. Im going to take the slow
way so you'll most likely be there before me." "Alright, Im at Don's place now, he isn't coming out." "What? He messaged me like 10 minutes ago on MSN saying he's ready to leave and he's gonna jet now." "Uh, I don't know what to tell you. He's probably being a pansy and fixing his hair and admiring himself in the mirror." "Whatever, just let me know when you guys are there." "ok sure. I'm gonna try knocking on his windows and stuff in the meantime"
While having this conversation with Lannie, Don has been standing
outside of the car, wondering what's going on. Alex fills him in.
Knowing Lannie is taking the slow way to Yang's, Alex and Don must
brainstorm an excuse as to why they will arrive at Yang's after Lannie.
The best they can come up with is that there was a miscommunication and
Don went to Alex's while Alex went to Don's. That, and maybe they
needed to get gas. Concurrently, Yang is at home waiting to be
debreifed on what he is supposed to tell Lannie when he gets there. He
needed an excuse for the cancelling the party, and he needed an excuse
now. Alex phones him up on and an excuse it prepared. It goes as
follows:
"Since you sprung this party on me this morning on MSN, I was not
really prepared. I called up the people that are going to Montreal and
they said they would come to the party since they aren't leaving until
tomorrow. The reason they are leaving tomorrow, is because they
couldn't secure a rental car until then. However, this afternoon they
managed to get a car and are going to head out tonight, meaning they
can't make the party. So basically, the party got cancelled. I tried to
call you, but my cell phone was broken and I don't have your number.
When Lannie arrives in my driveway, I'll call you to let you know.
Afterwards, you call Lannie on his cell phone and let him know the
party was cancelled, telling him you just called me to say you were
running late and found out. Meanwhile, I will intercept Lannie and ask
him to leave the beer." "Genius"
Lannie has picked up Jessica and arrives at Yang's house.
10:47:18 P.M. 10:51:28 P.M.
Discouraged by his surroundings, Lannie calls Alex on his cell.
"Alex, where the hell are you? Yang's house has no cars in the driveway and the lights are all off, what kind of party is this?" "Hey sorry man, we had a bit of a problem, Im currently at 401 and Kennedy" "Ohh yea, let's here the excuses..." "Well Don was..." "Nevermind, whatever. Im gonna call Yang."
Alex, Freddy and Don were now travelling on the 401 heading to
Yang's place. They were going into position to take the beer after
Lannie left. Knowing that Yang's cell phone was broken, and that Lannie
would not be able to reach him, the PT crew realized they had an issue.
If Yang did not answer Lannie's phone call, then in Lannie's current
state he was in no mood to sit around and wait. He would leave. The
prompted Alex to call up Yang immediatly on his house line and tell him
to intercept. Just as Lannie called Alex back to no doubtly complain
about the situation, Yang steps out of his house. Meanwhile, the PT
crew can only wait and hope that Yang's part of the plan gets pulled
off. After a few minutes Alex recieves a call from Yang.
"Alex! We have a situation, Lannie is refusing to leave the beer here. He made me shotgun one. What do we do?" "Shit, he won't leave the beer? Damn it. I don't know. Just keep trying I guess." "Ah shit, he's coming, gotta go."
Knowing they were screwed, the PT crew tries to head to Yang's as fast as possible. Another phone call.
"Mission failure, Lannie has left the premisis. I repeat, Lannie has
left the premisis. He took the beer with him and said he was not going
to take any phone calls. Either he is suspicious or just mad." "Damn it!! Shit! k thanks."
Alex then phones Lannie, trying to cover up and tracks that might
lead to this being a heist job. Lannie doesn't answer so he leaves a
message saying that Yang cancelled the party and he just found out.
It's a load of BS and everyone is mad. Unfortunately, Yang does not
agree with this plan and decides to go double agent. He calls up
Lannie, leaving him a message describing the whole heist job. The
terrorists have escaped with the beer.
10:59:59 P.M. | | |
| Is there a limit to how big one post on Xanga can be? Cause this weekend at the cottage was so jam packed full of awesomeness that it definately wont all fit in here. I'll try to keep it short.
Thursday - A Prelude To What Lay Ahead Don and I are in charge of shopping for the cottage. Let me tell you, you do not want to put us in charge of shopping. Not only are we horrible at deciding what to buy, we are horrible at deciding where to buy it. Let's take a look at what we bought for breakfast, for 8 people, for 3 days:
- 54 eggs
- 3 packs of bacon
- 100 sausages
- 48 eggos
- 24 muffins
- Toast
When you work out the math, we bought a little too much. For lunches we bought enough sandwich meats and bread so that each person could have 2 sandwichs per day with 2 slices of meat on each. However, we tended to not really have lunch since we would eat breakfast around noon. So yea, I have some sandwich meat in my fridge right about now. Lunch anybody? For dinner we were a little confused. We thought that everyone would eat hamburgers and chicken stuff so that's what we went for. So dinner included:
- 24 hamburgers
- 18 chicken burgers
- A truck load of chicken balls and chicken nuggets
- 60 hot dogs
- 8 packs of dumplings
- 15 pieces of corn on the cob
To give you an idea of the mentality Don and I had going, the 60 hot dogs we bought weren't even really intended for dinner. We figured that everyone would roast hot dogs in the bon fire at night and if we needed more food we could use them for dinner. Yep, we were thinking people would roast 60 hot dogs on a bon fire. Now you might think, that with all that food we had bought, Don and I would come to our senses and take it easy on the snacks. Wellll, we kinda did. Restraining ourselves we only bought 8 bags of chips, 3 bags of peanuts, 1 box of cashews, 2 watermelons, 7 plums, 7 peaches, 2 boxes of graham crackers, 3 bags of marshmellows and 1 bag of chocolate chips. What? You gotta have smores. Remember how I said we were horrible at deciding where to buy things? Well lets just say we bought one watermelon for 99 cents and the other for $2.99. Yep, mighty smart shoppers we are. There were countless times when we couldn't stop laughing, purely from hysteria over the insanity of the shopping we did. I can't list them all but here's a few.
Highlights
- From the amount of bread we bought, we filled an entire garbage bag. Unfortunately, it weighed so much that it crushed itself and a lot of the "square" bread turned out triangle.
- After realizing shucking corn ourselves was time consuming we decided to pay double the amount for pre-shucked corn. Much to our dismay, most of the corn we bought went bad. We really know what we're doing I tells'ya.
- "Hey Don, let's get these burgers." *Alex procedes to smash his head into a solid wooden overhang*
- Purchashing countless items because they were cheap. Or purchasing things because "oh you have to try this!". Just like the Dill-icious chips.
- Deciding we needed more hot dogs after having already purchased most of the other food, including the 40 hot dogs we already had.
And before I forget, we also had to buy some alcohol. This required two trips to two different Beer Stores since the first one we went to didn't have any Lucky. We ended up getting four 2-4s of lucky cans. Combine this with the litre of Vodka, Goldslager, Yagermeister, and Wine we would have plenty of alcohol for the three day vacation. Right? More on this later. All in all the shopping extravaganza took around 7 hours and 3 different supermarkets. But did we care? Of course not, we were too busy laughing our asses off and going out of our minds.
Friday - An Unexpected "Turn" Of Events *brrring brrrring* The alarm goes off early in the morning as the cottage goers wake up and prepare for the journey ahead. Lannie and Don head over to my place and we pack up the cars full of food and luggage. Everyone was told to pack light since the food took up most of the space *eh hem*. Our targetted depature time was 10am but we didn't get on the highway until about 11am since we had to go and pick everyone up, and Don was a little late. Don being late is a very significant delay as you will see in a little bit. So after picking everyone up, this is how the car layout worked. Car 1: PT Cruiser Passengers: Lannie, Barry, Jessica, Alex Car 2: Mazda Protege Passengers: Freddy, Shannon, Peter, Don Driving up to the cottage, the Mazda Protege (driver Don) fell behind by a couple of kms due to some light traffic. This wasen't really a problem, it just meant that we would have to call back to them on the cell phone to make sure they knew where the only turn was on the way up. As we continued to drive, about 10 minutes past the halfway point, navigator Lannie points out to me that a ladder has flown off of this van in front of us. Using evasive tactics (the brakes) we successfully dodge the ladder. Now the real problem began, everyone behind us also slammed on their brakes causing an 18 wheeler to veer off to the left, grinding a car against the guard rail. Looking back and seeing this we had a good laugh making fun of the poor bastard that got crushed. We then decided, almost immediately, to call back to Don's car to warn them that there has been an accident and they should be careful. *ring ring*"Hello" comes Freddy's voice from the other end. "Yea, there's been an accident, watch out guys" Lannie says informatively. "Oh, we know, we are the accident!" Wh-what? They were the poor bastards that got slammed against the guard rail! After hearing everyone was alright we doubled back to go and help them out and to see what happened. Doing so caused us to be stuck in traffic for hours because the 400 Northbound was completely closed off. Having no way to reach them Barry took over driving responsibilities and Lannie and I jogged down the highway to where the crash site was. Upon arrival we were greeted with the unpleasant smell of diesel as the truck's fuel had leaked everywhere. Talking to the passengers of the Don-mobile we found out what had happened. During the big lock up, the truck driver decided the safest crash was to crush Don's car, and so he did. The scary part was that when they came to a halt on the guard rail, the diesel from the 18 wheeler was spraying all over Freddy's window! Good thing the window was closed. People driving by were yelling at Don to get out of the car because inside were Don, Freddy, Shannon, and Peter sitting there with their seat belts on instead of running for their lives. Haha, they were too calm, what's a little explosion to them? As it turns out, everyone in the accident was ok and we managed to get all of the insurance information and get a rental car. Unfortunately for Don his car was a write off, but its alright, now he has reason to buy that Ferrari he's been dreaming of. Incredibly, the jackass with the crappily tied down ladder came back and took full responsibility for what happened. I guess he's a decent guy, just sucks the big one at tying stuff down. Since the highway was closed and we had to go through that insurance fiasco we didn't manage to get to the cottage until about 5:30pm, 6.5 hours after our departure time. Our hassles didn't totally end yet either. To get to the cottage we need to take a boat trip across and on the way we got pulled over by the OPP! This guy was a bastard too, he made sure we had absolutely everything you need when boating and even ripped one of the life jackets in half because it had a hole. But it didn't really matter since when we got there we busted out a few beers and took a swim. As night time fell upon us we decided it was time for dinner, so BBQ chef Freddy with his side kick Barry cooked us up the hamburgers. After eating it was time to just relax by the fire side. We were kind of drunk so we built a pretty lame fire but it was sufficient for the night. Chatting and eating we decided it was time for bed around 1am. We didn't want to stay up too late since we didn't know what tomorrow would bring.
Highlights
- Jessica stating the day before that she wanted to ride in the Cruiser for "safety reasons". Haha, what a witch!
- Freddy nearly getting killed by a passing car that clipped he sleeve.
- Drinking 54 of the 90 beers on the first night! Barry showed us how to properly do a shotgun.
- Jessica making some kick ass smores for everyone over the fire.
- Freddy getting a phone call telling him he won a contest when really we think it's just a scam.
- Getting free bananas from the car dealership.
- Lumberjacking the trees with the chainsaw after failing miserably with the axe.
Saturday - Members Only We started the day off with a giant breakfast cooked by the hand of my quite talented mom. It was fantastically delicious but she made a few too many sausages, so I had the bright idea of finishing them. Little did I know what a horrible mistake that was. After breakfast we all headed down to the dock to just relax in the sun and go swim a little. Freddy, being the master fisherman that he is, busted out his rod and managed to wrangle in a bass. This caused some jealousy among a certain female that was watching, I won't say which tho. So she decided to go off fishing as well. Meanwhile a couple of us decided that it would be fun to do some archery, so we made a little shooting range. As our skill improved we slowly decided to keep moving back until eventually we were shooting from the dock about 50 yards away. In the end this turned out to be a bad idea since someone made a poor shot and we lost an arrow to the forest creatures. Back at the dock, catching minnows was the latest rage. Since a certain female used a live minnow as bait and caught a bass (jealousy over) it was decided that minnows were the way to go. After fishing we headed over to the cliffs to do some cliff jumping (this was a major hassle since I lost my boating licence). When we got there we dropped anchor and a few of us jumped out and swam to the cliffs. The ones left behind in the boat had a little trouble tho, seeing as how the anchor line broke! Mamma mia, now we had no where to park but thankfully there was a dock close by and we used that. The owner of the cottage wasen't too happy about it but at least he let us use it. At the cliffs we all had fun jumping off and watching these kids do dives. Freddy and Jessica were too afraid to jump at first but with enough coaxing we got'em to go. It's not really like they had a choice tho since the only way down is to jump, unless you're an expert climber. Speaking of climbing, when we were leaving everyone had to climb into the boat. It all went ok until it was Shannon's turn. Having trouble getting in he opted to use the ladder. Unfortunately, he sucks at using ladders and broke it. Oh well, one day you'll be able to climb Shannon, next year. Once we got back to the cottage Freddy reminded me of how lame the fire was last night and persuaded me to help him build a giant fire. However, we didn't have small enough fire wood, so we each took turns cutting the old pieces into quarters with an axe. It was absurdly tiring but whenever you chopped through the wood in a single blow you felt like a clobbersaurus. When the wood was ready Peter and I helped out Freddy with his mission to build a massive fire. In the end it was around 6 feet tall, quite impressive. Dinner time came around and my mom cooked us the chicken burgers while BBQ chef Freddy did up 20 hot dogs. We were all stuffed afterwards and just decided to lounge around on the screened in porch. Then came the bright idea out of Freddy "Hey Alex, remember we said at the cottage we would attempt the Century Club?" Well, if I said I'd do it, I'd do it. Lannie, Freddy, Shannon and I took on the challenge of the Century Club, we had just enough beers left to do it. It started off ok, we were all doing fine until about 20. That's when Freddy started to act a little odd. At 35, he puked. The rest of us kept going and going and going. We were at 90, we were all feeling pretty good, and I started to brag a little "Hey Lannie, this is gonna kick ass, we're gonna join the club and Freddy isn't!" What a terrible mistake I had made, for at 97 karma caught up with me and out came those extra sausages I had for breakfast. Shannon and Lannie went on to enter the exclusive club and I attempted to redeem myself by doing 8 more shots but it was pointless, I had lost. So out we went to the massive fire we had made and lit it up. I endured countless comments about how shameful I was but they were well deserved. At the camp fire we were all drunk and eating hot dogs and smores but we couldn't find Freddy. Assuming he just went to sleep or to puke we ignored his absence and Barry, Lannie and I went for a paddle boat ride. When we returned we needed Freddy for something so we went to search for him. Not in the cottage, not in the cabin, not in the woods, not on the dock, where the hell is he? Hm, the boat is gone. Operation search the lake for Freddy's drunk drifting ass had begun. Don, Peter and I used a spot light off the end of my dock and found nothing so we took out the fishing boat. Armed with a flash light and a few senses we started up the engine and began our search. We eventually found freddy sleeping in the row boat floating in the middle of the channel. Dumbass! It was a struggle trying to guide his lame ass back to the dock but eventually we got there. Luckily he was ok and just went to pass out in the cabin. Lannie was super hammered so he was passed out on the trampoline and looked rather comfortable. Why not join him we thought? So we hopped on the trampoline and lay there with blankets chatting for awhile and star gazing. Once a few people went to bed we decided it was late (5am) and also went to bed. The only problem was that Lannie refused to move off the trampoline so we got him some extra blankets and left him there. Another day at the cottage had ended.
Highlights
- Showing the kids at the cliffs my third nipple.
- Shannon falling off the trampoline and bruising his arm hardcore. As well as burning the inside of his forearm on the archery set.
- Ong Bak-ing myself in the face, giving me a swollen lip.
- Lannie and Shannon entering the Century Club.
- The psychadelic shades.
- Finding out Jessica snores.
- The beginning of Freddy's big ass sunburn.
Sunday - Dangerous Waters The day starts off with Freddy in everyone's face telling them he caught a huge bass. Intrigued by what he thought was "huge" I went down to the dock in my boxers and wouldn't you know it? Master fisherman Freddy actually did catch a huge a bass! I think it was 2 pounds but that's still pretty big. After looking at his fish we went up to the cottage to eat another feast of a breakfast prepared by my mom. It was pretty late (around 1oclock) so we didn't have lunch and instead headed out to the rapids. I had been to the rapids before, a long time ago, with my cousins and remembered not really liking them, but of course I didn't bother telling anyone that. When we got there, no one really wanted to go down them since they looked full of rocks and danger. However, after some quick persuasive talking by me, my sister went down first. She came out with a few scrapes and bruises but all in all she was ok. Then went down Don, Lannie, Jessica, and Peter. Each of whom received terrible injuries. Peter's ass was pretty much raped as he hit it on every rock, Lannie might have broken his feet hitting one rock (they were all swollen and he couldn't walk on them properly), Jessica managed to flip upside down and go head first (narrowly avoiding some serious damage), and Don scraped up his leg. Having witnessed all this and hearing them all say "Dont go down!", the rest of us opted out. So the rapids got off to a rather injurious start but that's alright since no one was complaining too much. We headed down a long trail next, trying to find this "whirlpool" my sister spoke of. Once we got there, we sat in the water and just chilled out for a little while a few of us went down these much more tame rapids. The whirlpool wasen't much of a whirlpool but it was an alright place to just sit around. Once we had finished there, we made the long trek back through the foresty trail (Lannie was barely able to walk so it was a mega struggle) to the boat. Wouldn't you know it? Once again we had to climb aboard, and once again everything went fine until Shannon's turn. After breaking one of the flutter boards used to aid him we gave him a little boost and he managed to get up. Dont worry Shannon, it's all about next year. Arriving back at the cottage we were all exhausted and broken. This, however, didn't stop us from doing what Lannie and I had been waiting to do for at least a year. TUBING!!! First up were the impervious, ultra l33t, tubing masters extraordinaire, Lannie and Alex! Let me tell you, my dad really took it to us. After being whipped around and flying through the air we tied the duel at 2 a piece. Neither of us could recall a tube ride as hard as that one was. The next pair to go was Don and Barry. This was their first time tubing and they managed not too poorly. During the circles they would hang on for one or two before wiping out completely. In the end Don managed to squeeze out the 3 - 2 victory. Sorry Barry, maybe you shouldn't have went for that body check. Arriving on the tubing scene next was a great match up between Freddy and Jessica. Again, both had never been tubing before but you wouldn't know it from their performance. Suriving circles and catching huge air, they both looked like they knew exactly what they were doing out there (blame it on the excellent coaching of Alex and Lannie). Freddy went down 1 - 0 early on but managed to tie it up at 1 when Jessica couldn't successfully navigate a backflip in mid air. n00b. They both survived the rest of the ride and the war ended in a draw. The final match up was between Shannon and Peter, the biggest weight mismatch imaginable. Shannon felt it was a good strategy to use his normal style of no leaning whatsoever and it turns out, it wasen't that bad. This was Peter's first time tubing, so he didn't really have any clue what he was doing, but he held his own against his giant of an opponent. The crazy thing about this matchup is that they had the exact same amount of skill. Whenever one would fall, the other would follow. It was pretty crazy because even if they weren't near each other they would still manage to wipe out at the same time. Both having fallen 3 times, with each one having an odd mishap, it was decided that the match would end in a tie. Darkness was starting to fall upon us after tubing and my mom had made us yet another fantastic dinner, so we dragged our now extremely sore bodies off the dock and up to the cottage for some good eats. Since it was already pretty dark we jumped right into the drinking games. Or should I say game? "Oh my god, so easy" was the name of the game and shots of liquid cocaine were for when you felt the shame. Instead of mixing the Goldslager and Jagermiester for every shot, we got a big juice jug and dumped it all in and stirred. That's a lotta LC. The game started off with a war between Barry and I against Lannie and Jessica. Bad news for Jessica since Barry and I are so incredibly knowledgeable and fast on our feet. Yea, right. Anyways, Jessica took about 4 or 5 shots in a row and was pretty toasted. She had that whole asian glow thing going and she never gets that. Team LJ would have its revenge tho as Barry took shot after shot after shot. The poor guy, he got overdosed. After Barry was down and out the game sort of trailed off and a few of us went to the fire while the others either slept or puked. The game managed to destroy the whole jug of liquid cocaine, so needless to say we were pretty smashed. I think it held 54 shots or something like that. But heck, we still had that 1L bottle of vodka so we busted it out and killed it. Shannon pretty much chugged half of it (insanity) while Don and Lannie did some shots and Freddy and Peter finished it off. But heck, why stop there when your mom said you could have the bottle of Peach Shnopps? Badda bing, shots got passed around by the people at the fire and before you know it, it was gone. But heck, why stop there when there's another 1L bottle of Ouzo that your mom supplied? Do it up is what we said, and spinning dizzy was our head. Buuuuuut heck, there was still a tiny bit of Sake left so why not just finish everything? And we did. Needless to say, we were pretty damn hammered. Barry even woke up and came by the fire to help us out with our drinking insanity. Freddy was by the fire and kept attempting to get into the boat, but seeing as what happened last time he wasen't going anywhere. Shannon was completely hammered and couldn't even walk straight. Eventually he just fell onto the ground and lay there till he fell asleep. Meanwhile, back in the cottage bathroom were Lannie and Jessica who had both puked and fallen asleep. When they woke up from the bathroom they headed to the cabin and slept there. That's when Freddy decided it was time for bed and time to puke. Unfortunately for me, I was on clean up duty and needed to supply the bucket as well as clean up the puke with the hose. Finished with Freddy (he went to bed), I had to deal with Shannon. He hadn't moved from where he was lying down but he had just sat up (Undertaker style) and started puking all over himself. It was a pretty damn hilarious sight and we couldn't stop laughing as he suffered in pain and agony. Cleaning up his river of gross, the rest of us decided to call it a night. Our final night at the cottage was over and we ended it with style. The next morning was when we were to head home and nothing really interesting happened that day so Im leaving it out. Except that none of us were hung over (except Shannon), just as had been every other morning. Odd. Highlights
- Shannon falling flat on his face and bending his glasses when he was drunk.
- Peeing on the trail through the forest at the rapids when no one was looking. And walking back over it on the way back.
- Freddy catching a turtle at the whirlpool.
- My mom bringing down this awesome dip with chips.
- Everyone suffering trying to climb back on the tubes after they fell. Yes, including master climber Shannon.
- "Oh my god, so easy, Chinese, Jessica" proclaimed Jessica. Not to be outdone, Shannon had a move of his own, "Oh my god, C".
- Freddy completing his massive sunburn which covered his chest and his back.
- Having to give Freddy a shot in the face with the hose to keep him in line. Stay off the dock man!
- At last, feeling the air wipe across your face as you skid along the water at high speeds behind a boat, in a tube. Ahhh.
We couldn't have asked for a better weekend (good weather, good food, good stories, good times) and hopefully we can do it again sometime. I have tons of pics from the weekend that I will probably put up somewhere, but right now Im waay to lazy. It took 4 days to write this entry (since I have so little free time) and my fingers are tired. Thanks for coming out everyone! | | |
