Game Night and UFC

Let’s see, where was I?

Oh, right. Friday. LAST Friday.

I took Toby to his vet appointment since he wouldn’t put any weight on his leg. The vet took X-rays, but thank goodness nothing appeared to be broken. After I got home and gave him some medicine, I sat down in my chair with the intentions of resting my eyes - for just a minute! You know what they say about intentions … I fell asleep with Toby in my lap. By the time I woke up, it was too late to go out dancing, so we decided to go see Four Brothers instead. It didn’t get the greatest reviews, but I thought it was decent. I wanted more for the ending, but that’s just me and my belief in fairy-tales.

Saturday, we had people over for game night. It was a blast! I’m still getting flack for something I said while we were playing Catchphrase: The clue was Sandy Duncan. Since I didn’t have any idea who she was, I decided to try to break her name down.

“When you go to the beach, it’s that gritty stuff that gets in your parts.”

Seemed like a good clue to me …

Sunday, we watched a lot of Ultimate Fighting. Saturday night during the party, I used Tivo to record UFC - Boiling Point. Man, am I glad I did! It was worth paying the PPV price for it. We also watched the reruns of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, and were able to watch the final fight between Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar again. If you are a fight fan, and missed that fight, you’d best just take yourself out behind the barn and have a nice long pity party. Or, you could bribe me, and I could send you a copy ;)

I hate to disappoint Chumas, but I didn’t get one single picture the entire weekend. I haven’t been very good lately about remembering to get out the camera.

Am I in trouble?
*evil grin*

  1. Ye know… in any other reality but this one, you’d be the perfect woman for me. :o)

    I never got to watch the finale between Bonnar and Griffin. (Was in the process of having one relationship end… though I think I met the current girlfriend [and love of my life] that night)

    Griffin won, I take it? But Bonnar probably was a destructive machine as well. (Lordy I hope so. That guy was a tank.)

  2. It’s scary to think I don’t even know you and we might be dating in an alternate reality ;)

    The fight was a slugfest with both guys taking and giving great shots. They both lasted until the end, and Griffin won the judge’s decision. It was one fight I really think even a draw would not have been right - both guys were winners. I also like the fact that both of them are funny and articulate speakers. The after-fight remarks were great :)

  3. Not so scary… But yeah on the Alternate Reality.

    I very much enjoy Bonnar’s commentary when it comes to pre- and post-match comments. It’s almost like he’s gearing up to cut a wrestling promo. Griffin is a good fighter, but comes across as a bit of a dumb-hick who is getting into fighting because he’s not a good enough driver for a tractor pull.

    But the worst one in TUF1 was Chris Leben. That boy was in major need of a hrmone re-balance or something.

  4. Your comment about sand remidns me of a comment a Scottish woman once uttered in my mom’s presence, upon having her crotch nosed by the resident dog–”Quit sniffin me naughty bits!”
