This is a very weird situation. 'Cause I don't know if you remember back in '86 there was a major *ing drought. Nobody had anything. People were living on resin... -smoking the wood in their pipes for months. This chick had a bunch. And she's begging me to sell it. So I told her I wasn't going to be Joe the potman anymore, but I would take a little bit and sell it to my close, close, close friends. She agreed to that, said we'd keep the same arrangement as before; 10%, free pot for me, as long as I helped her out that weekend. She had a brick of weed she was selling, she didn't want to go to the buy alone. Her brother usually goes with her, but he's in county unexpectedly.
What for? His traffic tickets. Got a warrant. They stopped him for something, found warrants on him, took him to county. Now she doesn't walk around alone with all that weed. I don't want to do this. I have a very bad feeling about it. But she keeps asking me, keeps asking me, keeps asking me, finally I said OK 'cause I'm sick of hearing it. Now, we're picking the guy up at the train station... Wait a minute. You go to the train station to pick up the buyer with the weed on you? The guy needed it right away. Don't ask me why. Anyway, we're get to the station and we're waiting for the guy. I'm carrying the weed in one of those little carry-on bags. I got to take a *iss. So I tell the connection I'll be right back, I'm going to the boys' room. So I walk in the mens' room, and who's standing there? Four Los Angeles county sheriffs and a German shepherd. They're waiting for you? No, they're just a bunch of cops hanging out in the men's room, talking. When I walked through the door, they all stopped what they were talking about and they looked at me. That's hard, man. That's a *ing hard situation. German shepherd starts barking. He's barking at me. I mean, it's obvious. He's barking at me. Every nerve-ending, all my senses, blood in my veins, everything I have is screaming, "Take off, man! Just bail, just get the heck out of there!" Panic hits me like a bucket of water. First there's the shock of it... -BAM!... -right in the face. I'm standing there drenched in panic. All these sheriffs looking at me, and they know, man. They can smell it. Sure as that *ing dog can, they can smell it on me. |

Great memories from my trip to this contest and games back in 2007. That US team included Bert Sorin, Mike Pockoski, Chris Chafin, a young T&F thrower named Dave, and myself. The Scotland team consisted of Neil Elliot, Graeme Allan, Jason Young, Scot Thompson and one other whose name escapes me.
Hard to believe it has been seven years. I only had one kid back then, and he was a baby; now I've got five (when you get older, you reference years to when your child was born). Good luck, USA.

My mind is basically a wasteland of throwing, lifting, hair product, and movie quotes.
Oh yeah, and 8-bit video games.
Believe it Adam.

Thanks for updating, Nate. Congrats again to you, David, Brezina, Shane and Travis. It's a big honor to be able to rep the USA. Big bucks no whammies!

Game starts in two hours. Had a great time with the scots last night. Drink they can.
Wifi is my only way to get here and it's spotty. Info tonight if I can. Heavy rain in the forecast however the locals guarantee sunshine. Going to be a good time. |

These guys deserve huge praise for what they did on the field but I kid you not - the CLASS that they showed during the Kay Cummings Memorial ... you ALL owe these guys for doing the USA proud!
