We had a lovely time. LSUfan has a great family, and we really hit it off, but I have failed to mention a little tid-bit that happened right after the meal. Being a good friend LSUfan's, as I am, I wanted to preserve his good name here at BC, but since the masses have inquired about the luncheon ordeal...... *hangs head*... I shall tell the dark story.
I walked in and met LSU and his family immediately. We were sat and enjoyed a great meal. There was much laughter and many stories being thrown about. At one point in time, LSU even leaned over to peer around the corner because he had caught a glimpse of a Yodi-like looking old man crutching along, and he said that he thought it looked just like SPARK. I died laughing. I thought to myself, what a great guy, LSUfan is a upstanding, family-man of a gentlemen just as he protrays himself to be here on BC. There is nothing fake or false about him, and I was proud to stand by his side against the evils of the Kaptain....... but then it happened.
Immediately following the meal, LSUfan excused himself and disappeared leaving me to chat with his family for a while. I thought maybe he was just using the boys room or something of the sort.... So I asked for the check, in which the server brought immediately back to the table. And that's when it hit the fan! The resturant was getting kind of crowded now and people were beginning to shuffle about. In and out of the dining room, up and down from the table. Servers flying about delivering food, refilling drinks... I reached for my wallet when I spotted LSUfan in the doorway coming back from what I thought was the bathroom.
He was making his way through the crowd, waiting his turn, and choosing his spots like the 1970's classic, Frogger. I could tell he had something in his hand, and I thought to myself, I hope he hadn't bought me anything. I knew I didn't have anything in returned, and for a moment felt bad that I hadn't picked something up for the guy....... to make a long story short, he didn't.
I took my eyes off him for a second to adjust the money back into my wallet and pay the nice lady that had been kindly waiting for the check to be returned. Then I turned back to see LSUfan standing across the table looking directly at me. AND THERE IT WAS! Hanging from his shoulder was a dark purple satchel. It was spinkled with a metallic gold glitter, and on the front of it was a huge picture of "Mike the Tiger". My worst fears had come true. Jimmy had gone to the car to retrieve his LSU manbag.
