This was my description of one of the many people we shared a table at Crunchy's with on Saturday night (buckets of beer and the best cheesy breadsticks in town, can't be beat!). As he sat in our booth, leaning over to talk to the Iowa fans at the neighboring table about how they're going to get pounded by Illinois (truth) I realized that this guy will talk to anyone or anything that will listen.
J is a memorable guy, when he walks into a room you can't miss him - and not just because he's 6'4" (though not the tallest guy in our group that night...seriously). He's dynamic, personable, and it always complimenting someone.
"T-bone, you're lookin' great in that shirt," was one of his favorite lines of the day.
I'd like to say he's one of those that talks more with increasing amounts of alcohol, but I'm not sure that's possible.
At the beginning of our tailgate, 8 a.m. or so, he shows up, wearing not one piece of Michigan State clothing and was immediately surrounded by people as he told the first of many stories that day. He has a way of engaging the audience and involving everyone in the conversation. He even had us playing guessing games as to how much his 76ers shirt cost.
He's a one man show, that's for sure.
J's definitely the crazy guy in the group, but you've gotta love him - he's nothing shy of friendly, honest, and genuine.
Everyone should have a friend like him - do you? What's the one thing you love most about your crazy friend?
Cheers!

The fact that I still get to enjoy my beer and a good laugh while he is the one talking his way out of a fight.
ReplyDeleteuh oh... I think I might be the crazy friend.
ReplyDeletenarm - luckily with J. fighting is rare, he's just too nice for that - and the fiance would intervene before that took place.
ReplyDeletemaxie - but we all love the crazy friend!!
