Update from the HQ: Last Night

SO last night was a good night for door-pictures. H^2 (Hov and Hen) swung by to pick me up at 1020 and in an occurance that was borderline beyond our control we were swept up by the ghost of friday nights long past and ended up in Cannon's ready to take some PIX (in true HOV and B fashion, 2 years later, we still neglect to look for DUH MOOSE the only reason we are friends in the first place). Also, you can't pull HOV away from a good deal on a cold pitcher of Miller Lite so that might have also played some role in our venture to 108th. Anyway, we get inside and let me tell you, Hen.was.mortified. So we stayed on task and met this lovely fellow, to whom HOV inquired "like, omg, what role do you play on the football team" which he correctly interpreted to mean, position, and we learned the answer was "center". sweet. So, a scene ensued that could only be likened to a make a wish kid meeting their favorite athlete (twinkling eyes and puffed up chests respectively), we got our pictures, and we were out.

giggle.giggle. NO the fun did not end there because, ugh oh, someone had just gotten back from a TOGA PARTY. Though the total lack of anyone else wearing a toga begs the question of whether he was really at a party of said theme at all. And in response to that question that was lingering in the air but never explicitly being stated yet implicitly was also responding the the aforementioned begging...he proclaimed "I'm THEE guy in the toga" followed by (this time in response to our explicit request) "yeah! sure you can have a picture."

On the way to Pinnacle we discussed what the female version of "thee guy in a toga" would be if we were to ever want to call that much attention to ourselves as "that guy" and eventually we concluded that it would just be a girl in a toga which was pretty anticlimactic given the name of the place we were about to go and also how excited we had been to solve that puzzle (sorry that i just made that punny connection). In pinnacle we learned that garlic can come in powder form and that HOV doesn't chew her chicken fingers (I'm keeping this super brief). Outside of Pinnacle, much to my surprise and to the surprise of people who actually know/are related to him, we found out Christian has a SWEET red honda motorcycle and i have to say, he and HOV make quite a pair on it. Really, when I look at the picture the first thing that comes to mind is a lyric from that song "Can't Deny It" by Fabolous f. Nate Dogg. Which is the note I will end this on.

"Ghetto fabolous, n** I ride til I die

Hollerin 1-8-7 when I ride through the stuy, fool.

[chorus]

Yall cant deny it, ima fuckin rider
You dont wanna fuck with me (yeah)
Got skills in the trunk with me (ok)

Switchin lanes, do a buck with me (thats right)"

- Fabolous, "Can't Deny it"
