Kidney Infections Suck, Ultimate, Applebee's, Jackass 2, P-town, Frisbee Golf

So I had my first beers in over two weeks last night. And they were delicious.
I am fully recovered from my kidney infection. Let me tell you that it was no fun. Easily one of the most painful things I have ever been through.
So after work I went and met Gus for a little Ultimate Frisbee. Also joining us was the Booths (Garrett & Irina) and Dez. As usual I pretty much dominated at Ultimate. There was a lot more people there than usual so we had to sub in and out. The first set of plays I caught a long pass for a touchdown and in my opinion I resembled a young Steve Largent. The second and third set of plays I tossed a couple of TDs. The other team never recovered, mostly from my stellar play but also because Seth Krause was on their team. He may be tall but I shut him down with my awesome defensive skills.
After Ultimate we decided some drinks and some grub was in order. Since we wanted to eat good in the neighborhood, we headed to Applebee’s. I ordered some mozzarella sticks and a bottle of Guinness. That beer was so good that I ordered two more. We had quite the group of people at Applebee’s and we were overflowing out of the large corner booth in the bar. Our group consisted of Dez & Erica, Garrett & Irina, Gus & Mrs. G-Dizzle (fo shizzle), my roomie Bish, Collin Booth, Jimmer, Jeffery D, Willie and BoPhal. About halfway through our meal a couple of girls came running into the bar screaming about a car that just hit ‘n ran a new Chevy Colorado out in the parking lot. Turns out it was Jimmer’s truck so we headed out to the parking lot to check the damage. I guess the car was parked in front of his truck and they must’ve put it into Drive instead of Reverse. We checked out the damage and were surprised to find nothing. Maybe just a small scratch on the license plate but that was it. I am convinced that Chevy trucks are the tougher than shit after seeing that.
After heading back inside I noticed it was quickly approaching 11. Since I have to get up at five in the morning for my wonderful job I decided to get my bill and head out. I was feeling pretty great until I got my bill and saw that my bottles of Guinness were over five bucks each. Ouch. Vegas prices and I don’t even get to gamble. So I have decided that next time I am gonna stick with the draft brewskis. But all in all it was a great night.
Tonight the same group is going to enjoy Jackass 2. Willie’s already seen it and said it was three times funnier than the original. I laughed so hard at the original that I pooped my pants a little bit. Seriously. We’re talking bowel movement here. It was sick. So who knows what’s in store for tonight but I’m guessing I will have a great story to tell.
On Saturday I am most likely gonna head down to Portland and visit E, double D, I, E and cause some serious trouble. We are gonna explore Portland during the day and most likely pick up a set of Frisbee Golf discs. After that we are going to get Tucker Max drunk. So that should be fun. If any of the readers out there are gonna be in P-town and want to meet up with us call Ed’s phone. His number is (503) LIL-COCK. Or (503) 545-2625. Hit us up and I’ll let you buy me some beers while I make off-color jokes and make you feel really uncomfortable.
Sunday we are going to head over to the site of the former Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and check out their newly installed Frisbee Golf Course. It’s supposed to be a nice day so we’ll probably have to bring a couple of cold beers with us. It should be a blast.

more football and videogames

Speaking of bowl games, I was just reminded of a little known fact last night by my dad. My great-great uncle (or something like that) played for the Huskies in the 1926 Rose Bowl. George Guttormsen was the Captain at QB and a Kicker (yeah, crazy), and held the record from 1926-1963 for the longest punt in the rosebowl (73 yards), which was broke in 63, and then again in 81, both also at 73 yards. He also scored "A few plays later Wilson caught a short pass for a crucial first down and then threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to quarterback George Guttormsen." ( husky bowl history )
They lost the game 19-20 to Alabama, and some attributed it to the 2 extra points that George missed in the game (according to the Pac 10 Football book my dad has). I couldn't find mention online of him missing those kicks, or of his record, but I did find that he scored a touchdown, and I like that version better.

But I attribute the loss to the fact that the Huskies sucked, have sucked, and still suck. But its cool to have a famous family member, even if no one knows he is famous, and even if he is a hucking fusky...

Another cool fact. my licence plate is 1926, but its Coug plates since the huskies suck. But its a cool coincidence to have the same number.

The Xbox360 rocks. And I am very excited for this new shooter to come out in a few months. Until then I have Dead Rising, where I get to kill zombies by the hundreds, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.

Call of Duty 3 is in the works. Halo 3 comes out next year. They announced that Halo Wars RTS game. I just got Lego Star Wars 2. If I had more time to play, I would be loving life with all these games and new technology.

wow, that's a short list

Washington State University Bowl Game History
Nice page, but short list. Here's to a bowl bid this year, and hopes that we can hold our own against USC this weekend. And by hold our own, I mean going to the bathroom multiple times while drinking our sorrows away. At least next weekend is Oregon State, so we get back on the W train.

Ryan, long time friend and reader of NOSE, has these little tidbits to contribute:
Something for the blog...
First,
TV geek Dustin Diamond can now take his place with Colin Farrell, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock as the star of his very own sex tape. Everyone who remembers Diamond as a lovable putz is in for a shock once they see a 40-minute video in which he engages in a kinky three-way with two women. We can't get too graphic here, but word is that the action includes some bodily functions and an act known as a "Dirty Sanchez."
The best part about the whole story above... its called, "Saved by the Smell."

Second, a real time strategy Halo game has been anounced for the 360. http://www.halowars.com/
Q: What is “Halo Wars”?
A: “Halo Wars” is the next big real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios, creators of Age of Empires. Designed exclusively for the Xbox 360, “Halo Wars” allows you to take charge of the human UNSC armies and see the Halo universe from a totally new perspective.

(As Ryan knows, I was addicted to these in college, and still occasionally geek out with them. I am a little excited to buy this game and put it on the shelf next to my other games I don't have time to play. For sure.)

low

man we suck. Todd still working, pretty much not posting anymore. Nate still hurting, kidney infections and related medicines are no fun. Erik still working and helping Abby with school. We are losing readers faster than....shit, I can't even think of something funny.

How about a depressing post instead. My last grandpa died yesterday. He had a stroke earlier in the week, and his heart and body just weren't strong enough, and he passed away. And to make it worse, today is my Mom and her sister's birthday. How do you say happy birthday when its not happy? Shit. Her mom and stepdad passed away a few years ago, my dad's dad passed away last year on his birthday, and now I am down to two grandmas. And to really cap it off and make it hit home, I hadn't been out to their cabin the last two summers, and I said I would try this year. And I didn't. And now I won't ever get that chance again, because he's not there and my grandma can't drive at night so will have to sell the place. Fuck, I hope no one comes in my office right now so I don't have to explain why I'm almost crying at work.

if you have any funny stuff like the email I just got with a bunch of funny dog costumes, feel free to send it on or leave the link in the comments. (I am totally dressing my black cat up like this dog, and then letting it outside halloween night)
