Can we say "Ben's Half Yard House"???



OK, I was at Ben's again this weekend both Friday & Saturday nights. I really do enjoy being a "regular" there. If you have never been, it is a really great place to hang out. Well, back to this weekend. Friday I'm a couple blocks away and my comedian buddy calls me. He performed that night and is heading there with 3 ladies in tow. Oh my God, my buddy is working his jelly!!! I get there first and I get a booth instead of our normal 2 person table. They show up shortly and, he wasn't lying, he has 3 ladies with him. One was older and drunk. Right away, I could tell I had ZERO interest in her. Now the other 2 ...... hmmmm ...... I was interested. I was trying to be cautious since I wasn't sure who my buddy liked. I'm not sure which of the 2 I was most interested in. I was having trouble getting the old, drunk broad to leave me alone. Every 30 seconds, she told me she wanted to dance. Then I had to escort her to the bathroom. Then she wanted to leave. Over and over and over. I want to leave. I want to dance. I want to leave. I want to dance. My God, what a miserable drunk! Just when I thought I'd never get away from her, my buddy dances with her. The other ladies were at the restrooms and they got up and danced. When the 2 came back from the restroom, they said my buddy was kissing the drunk. I didn't think so, but, when I looked..... Oh my! They were sucking face pretty hard. Well, if he is making a move on old, drunk girl..... maybe I can go after one of the others???? As the evening wound down, they wanted my buddies phone number. Since nobody had a pen, I gave them my card with my number on it. I told them I would give them his number if they called. They also expressed an interest in coming out to Ben's on Sat night. I told them if they called, I could give them directions to Ben's also.

So, Saturday rolls around.... first I find out my buddy didn't even realize he was all over drunk girl. He had too much to drink. Second, I don't get ANY phone calls from any of the 3 ladies. Ya know, with me, that is par for the course. I could be the last man on earth and all the ladies would decide to become lesbians. The girl that my comedian buddy has kinda been seeing showed up Saturday night. You remember her, I said I thought things were over between them. I think I might have been wrong. They seem to be really clicking Sat night.

Man, I really hate my life! My buddy has his pick of the litter (not without some problems) and I end up with nothing as usual. O-well. Not like I'm not used to it. I guess I'm just gonna be a "wing-man" until I die and nothing else.

Well, to end a perfectly average weekend, the Mavs lost game 5 of the finals. Looks like they might piss away the 2 game lead and end up losing the finals. Just something else in my life that would totally suck.
