Memphis called me on my cell phone yesterday. Now I've gotta change my number at least one more time.

Easy there tiger.

Come in the house after an outstanding day at work, closing two large projects on the same day, essentially locking late spring and all of summer up for business. Mrs. Three has invited two couples over for barbecue and drinks, and all are having a wonderful time. I do notice a bit of Saturday Night Fever in my gait as I emerge onto the deck, chest out just a little bit, and get better-than-average handshakes and hugs from our guests. It's as if they knew that this was their chance to touch greatness, even if for just one day. I'm just about to drop the "this is why I'm king of business" bomb when Mrs. Three, never one to miss an opportunity, beats me to the punch with "Oh yah, and did I tell ya? One of Den's tank game dork friends called the house the other day." Deck erupts with laughter. Chest deflates. Good feeling gone.

As I try to invoke the standard Jerry Springer guest defense of "whateva, whateva, you don't know me", I come to the realization that I'll have to wait another day for the fitting of my crown. Thanks, pal.

I try and achieve greatness at least once a day...

Mrs. Three shoulda said, "and, guess who called Den this week? Fo Fo. That's right. He got a call from Fo Fo." Guests slap Three on the back. Chest puffs out further.

We gotta figure out a way to widen our sphere of influence. This pond is getting too small.

[Three]

Ahh yes, it appears we're sleeping with the twin sisters by the names 'objectively' and 'subjectively'. I'm sure I would've received much less ridicule from my guests upon their hearing "And did I tell ya? Den got a call from a tank game dork friend named fo fo." Yes, much less. My apologies.

Point well taken. However, you might have saved some face by telling them I'm one of the coolest dorks in here. Kind of like saying, "Sure, I've got an STD...but it's chlamydia."

[Three]

Whatta you talkin' about? Tellin' 'em I had an STD woulda been the only way I could get their minds off of my tank dork friends.

[Norm the toe]

Yikes, even I didn't know how to spell "chlamydia".

Norm

What a yay!

Heh, I don' know whats more funny. The comments or because there surprised they gave out there number and someone called.
