I went out last night with Boss and The Consultant for a few drinks and to officially get my ass schooled at the various ways you can play pool and all the "Rules" I will never abide by.
I'm sorry, I just don't call my shots.
Why?
Because most of the ones that go in are accidental.
And I still think if I get any ball in, be it mine or yours, it should count if it was a kick ass shot.
That's why.

So, while we were there, Emilee had called to ask if she could spend another night with her Little Friend and I asked her if she had talked to Little Friend's Mom yet... she says no and that she will call me back.
Well, during the course of the game I am playing, I frequently glanced over at my phone to see if Em had called since it was loud enough in the bar to drown out the sound of my ringer. But the little light wasn't flashing so I knew she hadn't.
But then I see The Consultant's phone is flashing.
The first time I saw it, I thought it might have been a reflection or something since it flashed green. My phone doesn't flash green. It's only lit up green when it's fully charged and still plugged in. So, I watch The Consultant's phone to see if it does it again and it doesn't until right when I turn my head to look back at the game. It flashes just in the corner of my eye. So, again, I stare at it to see if it does it again.
Mostly because I was afraid I'd had too much to drink.
Ahhhh, but then it did. Seems his phone flashes, very briefly, like every thirty seconds. Where as mine is a long flash like every five. So, I tell him his phone is flashing and he picks it up and flips it open and says, "It shouldn't be, I haven't missed any calls or anything..." Which of course makes me feel like an idiot because I swear I saw it flash no less than three times.
All of which I tell The Consultant.
His response?
"Oh, I must have put it on 'Drunk Mode'. It's just flashing to say Hey, Dude, I'm over here!!"
Yeah.
Apparently Cingular phones just flash.
For no reason.
I decided rather than have to stare at the phones any longer, I would just call Emilee back. Once I got her on the phone, I said "Hey, I thought you were going to call me back?"
Her response?
"Well, I didn't say when."
Touché.
