People Watching is My Fave

So last night I attempted to go to the Royals game with some friends.  And, oh yeah, it was sold out.  

Huh?  

The Royals sold out?  That doesn't really compute.  

But it was Buck Night and Zach Greinke was pitching.  (He's good.)  And the Royals are leading their division.  Kansas City is stoked.

So we didn't get to go to the game.  But we did make $20 scalping tickets and went and got ice cream.  So not a loss.

Today I actually made it into the Royals game.  It was Jersey Day so that was awesome.  And these 3 hilarious things happened:

*Preface:  My absolute favorite thing in the world is catching people doing hilarious stuff that they didn't intend for me to see.  It's the little things that crack me up.

1)  On our way to the game, we drove past a giant billboard for a gun show.  Standing in front of it was a 20-something man.  His girlfriend was taking a picture of him as he hilariously flexed.  You have to love a guy who will pull over his car to make a "gun show" joke.

2)  Walking back to our car after the game, we were walking behind a couple who were in a little bit of a tiff.  From what I could gather, girlfriend was annoyed at boyfriend but he was making funny jokes about it that were making her laugh a little and therefore pissing her off more.  I understand that this is extremely frustrating.  So, in justifiable retaliation, girlfriend (without missing a step) noticed some trash on the ground, picked it up, and threw it in boyfriend's face.  Boyfriend started cracking up and yelled, "You just hit me in the face with Jimmy John's.  You got mad and hit me with Jimmy John's!"  Girlfriend kept walking but was clearly also cracking up.  Sometimes all a relationship needs is some trash throwing to diffuse a potential argument.  Also, I like boyfriend a lot for thinking that was funny.  Because it was.

3) My friends Ben, Ryan and Pat were on the Jumbotron winning a seat upgrade.  Ashley and I started screaming, "That's Ben!  And Ryan!  And Pat!"  People all around us thought we were crazy but it was irrationally exciting.  

We finished off the night by watching the movie Once which is now one of my all-time favorites.  (See the song of the day if confused about why.)  

Oh, and my Cardinals beat the Cubs.

Life is good.
