Weird Rugby Wannabe Guy

Playing basketball in 40 degree weather is a fantastic way to try to catch a cold. I wasn't content with contracting a mere case of the sniffles tonight either; I went for the big N (pneumonia) and ditched the sweatshirt in favor of my Norm t-shirt. I had no choice... the sleeves were interfering with my silky smooth J. Or maybe I had a hard time shooting because I lost the ability to feel my hands after the first game. Hard to tell.

However, the real treat tonight was Weird Rugby Wannabe Guy (WRWG). Because the gaggle of rugby players (or do they comprise a swarm?) practicing near us wouldn't let him play, WRWG spent the whole time running up and down the sideline with the action, but obviously not participating in the game. He also spent some time yelling at us from across the courts.

"Hey, dude! Are you the guy from TV?" Because none of us have ever been on TV, and because there's no way WRWG could make out any of our faces from afar, we didn't think he was talking to us and paid no attention. This seemed to annoy WRWG. I'm still not sure which one of us he picked out as the television superstar, especially considering all of our rugged good looks.

Once he got our attention, WRWG yelled something about mouse (or monkey?) peanuts buffalo turds. At this point we all decided that not looking in the direction of the obviously not right WRWG was in our best interests.

But seriously, how fucked up do you have to be if a bunch of rugby guys decide you're too insane to play with them?
