beers and balls weekend

so... instead of the Wahoo Zip weekend or the Funtime Getaway i had been pining for, i ended up with a couple of drinking buddies, at someone's pad, on an overnight beers and balls binge.

one of our 'mates' was -- yep, you guessed it -- oz and so rabid about the 2011 Rugby World Cup . we headed for a kegger at his place and watched the World Series first. (go St. Louis!!!) the Rugby World Cup didn't come on till about 4AM!!! i think he got live feed via pay-per-view. i don't have this on cable.

it was the All Blacks versus the French (forgot what their team's called -- always called them the French.) our host was for the All Blacks. i was rooting for them too. i watched a couple of games during the semis and they were good. another buddy of ours was for the French. he said he was part French, if having a Frenchman who lived in Madagascar as a distant great grandfather really qualifies him as part-French. he only knows to say Sacre Bleu and a dirty French word, and hasn't even stepped a foot in Europe. anyway, whatever floats his boat. his team lost anyway. 8-7 for the the All Blacks.

critics say this was a so-so win for the All Blacks, that the French played a better game. i say defense is a huge part of the game and the All Blacks' defense was solid, almost impenetrable. have to admit though, the best moment during the game was when the team captain of the French touched down on the 2nd half. that was awesome.

this was a good weekend. i may not have Wahooed or let loose with my friends at Funtime Getaways; but it was good clean fun with my buddies. quite tired and still drunk right now. our binge ended at about 12nn Sunday. that's a lot of beer, and a lot to recover from for Monday's work. catch you in bit. i am looking forward to this week. work, gym (and maybe running into my crush), and next weekend's Halloween.
