Chris and I arrived in Dallas early. Mark Croft had not made it in yet, but the hotel really went above and beyond for his bed. |
What a lucky guy. Most people would pay big money to sleep in a custom bed like this. I sure hope he likes it. By the way, his select comfort sleep level is 7, just so you ladies are 'in the know.' |
Tiny Dancer (aka "Beth") is the first to greet the can-do-crew. She seems happy. Must be on drugs. |
Jennifer quickly arrived and started talking, but was interrupted when she started choking on her tongue. Not to fear, a match book and open bottle of tarter sauce put her tongue right back in place. |
Chris demonstrates his unique ability to do what most guys can't: Look good wearing a red shirt. Unfortunately, he fails. |
Even Redd insisted on one 'buffer' seat between her and the freak in the red shirt. |
Jared "Sweaterman" Sylor was voted most likely to have received a wedgie when in grade school. Why? Because he's nice. And he wears sweaters. Need proof? Well... the sweater factor is obvious, and the nice factor is shown here as he does what no one else is willing to do -- be seen sitting next to the dude with the red shirt. Sweaterman was also voted the nicest/coolest guy at the YA Weekend event. Now all the other guys are out buying sweaters. |
Tiny Dancer, infatuated with her digital camera, shows off the unique serial number found only on her particular model. She accomplishes this while still keeping perfect timing with her workout routine, which consists of 20 reps with her left hand holding a purse with 20lbs of weight in it. Classy. |
Here we see Tiny Dancer showing off the fruits of her workout labor... holding the left side of her prized digital camera with no more than one muscular finger. |
Chris tries to cover up the fact that he has a red shirt on by putting on a leather jacket and by standing next to a pretty girl with a purse that glitters more than the Las Vegas strip. It doesn't work. |
Shake your computer monitor... shake, shake, shake... now ask the magic 8 ball a question and all will be revealed. |
UCG gang members. If the shot were any wider you'd be able to see the spinners and installed black lights under the car. PUNKS!! |
At the end of the table Dave tries to show off his "magical rising card" trick while Sweaterman watches is neutral amazement. Ashley does not seem thrilled at all either. |
When double-fisting a drink isn't good enough... order TWO!! What a boozer. |
Mcleod watches on while Tiny Dance catches some much needed zzzzz's. She soon pops out of sleep, however.... |
... and jumps directly into a paparazi photo frenzie!! You just can't keep that camera away from that girl. |
Tiny Dancer basks in the glory of digital pixel goodness. Did I mention how much she loves her digital camera? |
Redd tries to see how close her hair color is to "natural" by holding it close to Chris' shirt. |
Sweaterman impresses the ladies by demonstrating how he can tie a knot in an orange peal using nothing but his tongue. WOW! |
The ladies discuss his amazing abilities... and his collection of sweaters. |
Mindy promptly joins the group, but it takes a while for everyone to see her, as she is cleverly sporting her "Where's Mindy?" shirt. Classic. |
The wait staff calls for a halftime time out while they do calculations of our bar tab. Drinking resumes once we're given the 'all clear.' |
Mark Croft decides to greet everyone, but soon falls prey to Shelly's reinactment of her favorite Mike Tyson fight. Mark hasn't been able to hear right since. |
Two crackers try to pull off a jiveless handshake. Oh, the shame of it all. |
Redd quietly awates the return low-five she gave to someone else. There is no skin-on-skin action this go-round. Better luck with the high-five action. |
Mark tries to tell a story to Redd, but rather than talk back to him she insists on only communicating with him through SMS Text Messages. |
Tiny Dancer controls the other end of the table with her tale tales of her last fishing trip. |
This is what happens when someone looks upon the man in the red shirt. |
Kelli shows off her collection of "obtained" cameras. She's offering them to the group at a discount rate. Tiny Dancer is her biggest customer when it comes to digital cameras. |
Jarboretta joins the 'rita race and soon outpaces Chris. Chris has the added advantage of having help from the ladies at the table. What a wussie. |
Mindy, still semi-hidden with her "Where's Mindy?" shirt, play an equally invisible instrument for our entertainment. |
Proof that the person who smelt it (left) is not always the person who delt it (right). |
Faced with the potential of NO girls talking to him all weekend, Chris finally pulls the plug on the red shirt and decides to bust out his collection of non-red shirtware. Good move. |
Mark Croft has been waiting at the door for almost three days waiting for us to walk in the door so he could photograph us. He must be tired. |
And when you're tired, there's nothing better than turning down your own custom-made bed. |
Sleep tight. |
Although Mark was sleeping tight on his custom bed, this is a brief glimps into what he was dreaming of that night. |
