Sloshy here. The Cap'n is having some trouble accessing the blog and posting, so until we figure out what the problem is (he's a drunken idiot,) I'll be posting his stories for him.

Last night, I called him up around 9:30 to see if he knew who we had in today's race pool. I'm itching for another victory so I can by myself some new shoes or a fabulous purse. Here is how the conversation went:

Cap'n: (unintelligible loud noises, sound of phone being dropped) pshhhello?
Sloshy: Hey man - any idea who we have in the race pool tomorrow?
Cap'n: Absolutely not! Hole on...HEY! Whose does wese have in race pool? Oh. Yeah, don't know.
Sloshy: Okay, we'll figure it out before the race.
Cap'n: See you tomorrow. Click.

I had been planning on going out to Chubby's for a quick beer to see him, but at that point decided he wouldn't remember if I did or not, so I stayed home. Amazingly enough, he called me at 9:30 this morning, sounding rather chipper. Here is his story:

Cap'n here. Last night when I got home, my sister and her friends were trying to watch Baby Mama. For some reason it wouldn't play. Even in my polluted state, I figured out the problem. It was a Blu-Ray DVD, and they were trying to play it in a regular DVD player. When I pointed that out, my sister grabbed the DVD, went back to the store, and returned minutes later with, you guessed it, yet another Blu-Ray disc. I decided to sort this problem out my self and took the disk back to the store.After several minutes of stumbling around, unable to find the correct section, I wobbled my way up to the cashier and silently held the disc out to her. Here is our conversation as I remember it.

Cashier Chick: You've got to be kidding me!
Cap'n: blank stare
Cashier Chick: After all the times they've been in here trying to fix this, you're they're best hope?!
Cap'n: 'Fraid so.
Cashier Chick: grabs the correct disc Are you okay to drive?
Cap'n: Absolutely not.

Thinking back, it would have been a lot funnier if I had returned home with a VHS.

Weekend Winnings

Sloshy here, wanting to update you kids on what the Cap'n and I have been up to.

In a nutshell: drinking. We won the pot in our local race pool on Sunday (I'd like to thank Carl Edwards for hitting the wall coming out of turn 3 at the Kansas Speedway, allowing our driver, good ol' Number 48, Jimmie Johnson to cruise past for the checkered flag.) What did this mean?

Well, Jimmie Johnson won a ton of money, and the Cap'n and I won...well, a lot less, but enough to keep us in beers for the week...providing they're cheap beers.
