Brianpolooza

After an action packed weekend the highly anticipated, long awaited, extremely overhyped Brianpolooza extravaganza is finally over. And Billy's wild berry bushes in his backyard will never be the same again.

Some highlights of the festivities:

The block that Brian used to live on had a block party on Saturday afternoon prompting Brian to ask, "how come they never had a party while we lived on the street!" After attending and finding four people there, two of which were a father and son having a catch, Brian replied, "no wonder."

During wiffleball on Saturday I hit three homeruns and tore it up to win MVP honors. My emotional high was quickly reduced however as Billy and Brian M. told everyone including our guest of honor some not so flattering stories about some of my other recent athletic accomplishments including how I tried to throw a runner out at home plate in a recent softball game by running the ball back into the infield and how I struck out in kickball.

Brian B. won the first annual Brianpolooza food eating contest, downing a double cheeseburger just one second ahead of Russell by taking one of the largest bites in the recorded history of mankind. Maybe Russell would have had more room in his stomach if he hadn't just spent five hours eating wild berries in Billy's backyard.

Russell did have a consolation prize though as he had the two best lines of the night telling Brian M. to stop moving in on his shit after Brian sat down next to his girlfriend, Sona, and then telling all of us what the great philosopher 50 Cent once said about lesbians.

Sunday night, the festivities wound down with $20 buy in No Limit Texas Hold 'Em. All I can say is that at least I wasn't the first person eliminated.
