.... and you end up having a drink with Cal Ripken... or a Cal Ripken lookalike.
So we were at Scruffy's to watch the game, it was crowded, no place to sit, people cheering Gang Green... (but also some Raider fans there), and Cyn asks these guys if we can sit with them at their table... but that's another story. After they left (but there definitely is another story involving them), we notice a guy with a big ol' "Ripken 8" t-shirt on. And I go all wide-eyed... "Oh, look! An Orioles fan!" Before I can blink, Cyn is asking this guy if I can buy him a drink because I'm a huge Cal Ripken fan, and he's going all embarrassed because he says he's not an O's fan, but his friends bought him that shirt because he resembles Cal Ripken (he does), and then he buys us a drink, and it turns out he's a Mets fan (fancy that!!! :uhoh:), his name is Steve, and the next thing I know, Cyn has disappeared and I'm sitting talking to the pseudo-Cal, and then he leaves, and I'm wondering where Cyn is, and she appears, and we finish our drinks, (bought by Cal).... all in all, even though the Jets lost, it was a fun evening. (And I'm not even getting into the details of Brad and Dan (:uhoh: )... (over to you, Cyn!):biggrin:
