How much joy can you find in 25 cents?

I went out last night with my girlfriends, Bethany, Laurie, Gina, Karin and Christy. We went to our favorite hang out, Buffalo Wild Wings. Now, if you've never been to a Buffalo Wild Wings you seriously need to stop reading and find one NOW! It is the best place you'll ever eat at! Not only is the food good, but the service is, well... ENTERTAINING! Zach was our guy yesterday and as Karin would say, he's a "bad boy"! He has more piercings on his body than I have--- AND I'M A CHICK! We didn't see all of them, but he certainly wasn't being mysterious about the location! Have you ever seen someone with the skin on their back pierced? GROSS! I'm glad I had already eaten my dinner! Anyway, we decided to partake in a fun game called quarters. PS... if Karin ever asks you to play, PASS!!! This is a game where you take a smaller tumbler glass and try to bounce your quarter into the glass. If you get it in, you make someone drink. We had a lot of fun playing at Buffalo Wild Wings (in fact I think the 7 year old that was keeping score for us had more fun than we did!) and talking with our new friend Zach but the night had to come to an end at some point. So we headed out to Ed & Joe's. Although the pizza was delicious, we were so tired and ended up leaving before the crowds got really crazy! In fact I think the main topic of conversation among the patrons (not my friends) was how many bowel movements they've had today and how much fiber they had to get them there! The crowd was a bit old for our taste, but we enjoyed the pizza, martinis and friendly conversation. We tried to bring our quarter game to Ed & Joe's but we could only play in between the live music. There was a gentleman there who saw us playing and said "Hey you guys are playing titaly-winks"; I thought he was hitting on me, but realized he was talking about the quarter game! I was curious about the sexually explicit game that he was inquiring about so I asked, show me how to do that! He smiled (I'm sure he was thinking, Damn I forgot my Viagra) and took out 2 nickles. He proceeded to explain that you take one of the nickles and push down with it on the edge of the other nickle to jump it into the glass. After a few miserable tries, he gave up. I asked if he wanted to see the more "g" rated version of his game, he politely declined (I'm sure he wanted to see something nasty) and walked away. HMMM... I wonder if he went home and played "titaly winks"? What a nice fellow. I guess 25 cents goes alot further than we all thought. Thank goodness for the economic crisis in today's society. We are forced to find the joys in the good ol' Washington quarter.
