The Curse of the Shamrock Shake

Hey, Justin again.

So, my biggest regret with the sugar fast is that I am not able to enjoy McDonald's Shamrock Shakes.  They come out once a year, and are delicious.  But, I am a good husband and keep my commitments......groan....

That aside, let me tell you a story about one of my best friends, Garrett.  For his sake, I'll do my best to not exaggerate.
So Garrett and I had an Economics test to take this week.  We have been "studying" for it, and were going to study for it a lot this weekend.  However, Tayler and I were in Nephi with my brother and Garrett was back home in Oregon.  Needless to say, no studying got done.  Typical.
Garrett was slated to come home Sunday.  I got a series of phone calls sunday night that went something like this:
-"Hey Justin, I should be home late sunday night"
-"Hey Justin, can you take copius notes for me on monday's lecture?  My plane is having problems and got delayed so I wont get home til the wee hours of the morning."
-"Justin, this is not cool.  The plane has a broken part.  They ordered a replacement part, but it wont come until tomorrow and the plane isnt even guaranteed to run with it.  I'm trying to find another flight."
-"....My family picked me up from the airport.  I wont be leaving anytime soon"
-"I should get home early evening on tuesday......TUESDAY!!!!"

Oh yeah, the test was Monday.....

Thankfully, he was allowed to take it when he got back, but it was a terrible circumstance and it must have been annoying.

So we he got back, Tayler and I decided to do something nice for him....

...Dont worry, Tayler got one too...
Yes, those are shamrock shakes......I regret nothing...

  2. You told the world that if this got 100 views that Tanney would fill out a bracket. And now Andrew wants me to fill out a bracket. And I only know three or four teams.

    Well played, sir.

    2. I filled one out. We should compare. I hardly know any names, let alone any statistics or history of these teams. I know that Syracuse has a good basketball team because of that one time that we had apartment 9 watch Sinbad the Sailor, and that was the comment Andrew made at the beginning of the movie.

  3. I vote She needs to fill out a bracket. It's the only reason I clicked through to the actual browser.
