best week ever

by TrizzleNizzle510 on Jun 19, 2005 6:58 PM PDT

im in a good mood...

Reasons for the the good week...

my cousin and i went to the Crosby and Byrnes autograph session at stoneridge... we started the line at like 12:30 and wait 7 hours to find out that they cant sign personal items... so im beyond pissed because i lugged a statue that i made of crosby in ceramics class... to add to the frustraution.. the macys people decide to let people who purchased $75 dollars worth of IZOD crap jump in front of us in line.. which was not fair at all... those people are like the ones who go to bobblehead games... leave with bags full to sell on ebay... when we finally get up there... my cousin tries to sneak her glove in.. she was successful until the macys worker grabbed the glove away from her and crosby... he was gonna sign it too!!.. when its my turn... i try to sneak my statue in.. the lady tries to take it away.. and i refused... Crosby sees it and says "wow.. did you make that?".. i say " yea i made it in ceramics class"... then i ask him if he could sign it for me afterwards... he goes "why dont i sign it for you now"... he signs it.. says nice work.. i say vice versa.... reason why i love crosby so much.. as a player.. hes such a nice guy... so i was successful at my goal... was well worth the 7+ hours...
Finally meeting Byrnes
Seeing Crosby driving away in his black escalade on spinners.. haha
FInally graduating from highschool

Very nice!

though I'd like to see the ladies try to compliment the statue's butt.

That is really well made, though--very impressive. I'm glad Bobby signed it.

Great little story there, I'm glad to hear that he signed it for you after all! Mean little Macy's people... They just want people to buy their stuff, I guess. You did a really great job on this piece, I can't believe all the little details you put in, like on the shoes, the belt, and even the patches on the back of his shirt!

I am officially impressed

With your ceramics skills, as well as continually impressed at what a stand up guy Crosby is turning out to be.

That is a sick little statue.

The details are excellent.

I'm afraid I'll have to confiscate

that statue. I'm a security consultant for Macy's and that statue is hereby identified as "signature contraband" and as such is subject to confiscation. You are also subject to a fine of (no less than) $500 (five hundred dollars) and if you do not comply no less than 30 (thirty) days in jail. Please report to the Macy's security office at the Stoneridge mall (where you can also conveniently sign up for a Macy's line of credit). Mr. Crosby has also been implicated in this fraudulent act, and will be similarly prosecuted.

As always, your satisfaction is our number one goal, thank you for shopping at Macy's!

Look at the elephant on the sleeve

WOW!!!

Good stuff

I like the screen shot of AN in the background too!

Picker of Nits since '63. Or so I thought until I discovered AN. Now I feel like a nitpiker.

To be fair

the people who bought the Izod are the ones who actually made the event happen. If they weren't there, you wouldn't have gotten your autograph.

Awesome statute, though. I love the details. The elephant is great. It's neat how you even have the stitching outline around his name on the back.

Congrats on your graduation and that a baby on the "Things that went down Graduation night".

The next time I slap a guy's ass, can we all just assume it's because I wish I was a baseball player?
