Dirty Bingo...

Hey yaars,

Yes, I did it. I played Dirty Bingo. After trying my best to avoid attending, I figured I'd be a sport and go out with the crew to try this scary game. Upon arriving at the Firkin I nervously shifted to the back where we all met. And of course, with the luck only I could have, yours truly won the first game of the night. The reward you ask? I'm still not even sure exactly what it was but it was some sort of clitoris metallic thingy that I wanted nothing to do with. It could have been worse, I could have won the 18 inch "Anaconda"!!!

Beforehand was just as fun. I agreed to meet up with Koji and Travis to watch the replay of the Germany/Italy semi-final. I figured I'd kick around the Eaton Centre for a bit and on the way made sure to avoid watching the Tv's at Hooters, The Duke of Argyle, AND the Fox and Firkin on the way. Upon arriving outside the Hard Rock Cafe I saw them and Nicola waiting outside. Why you ask? Because the live game was still going on and the replay wouldn't start till after (of course we didn't want to know what happened without watching the WHOLE game!).

So we waited for a few minutes outside, while periodically seeing Nicola or Koji jump in to check, until they saw their group sales intern watching in the suite TV. Of course after 3 seconds they decided to kick him out and watch there. I still get a kick out of how easily they got him booted!

After minutes of watching billiards on TSN waiting for the replay to start (so that we wouldn't know the result), I managed to see the reflection of the Hard Rock TV's on the glass of the suite to which I yelp "Shit! I just saw the game in the reflection!". Koji instinctively looks and thinks he sees what happened, and decided to go on a "fuck you Naveed" tirade for a few minutes. Thankfully all is subsided after a few and we head out to the Hard Rock to watch.

IT WAS SICK! Ze Germans are dunzo! I told y'all they were overrated! For what they had they played a great tournament, they just weren't of the same class as an Italy on the day. And when del Piero blasted the beautiful lob to make it 2-0 seconds later, it was pissa' wicked! I ALMOST felt Italian for a few minutes :P

Anyhow, I'm a bit zonked now, just wanted to make sure I posted as I promised Nicola I would. And to answer everyone's question - No, I did NOT keep my dirty bingo prize!

L8er!!!
