White Jeans Guy

by jbox on May 28, 2007 3:01 PM PDT in News

At Sunday's game, I was walking up the steps at Petco and I followed a guy wearing bright white jeans, white Birkenstock closed toed sandals and a blue jersey tucked in. He was carrying a bag of snacks and a lumbar support cushion.

Right before we got on the escalator he hugged one of the Padres employees in the Panama hats. She looked surprised and didn't hug him back. He said something like "It's just such a great day I had to give you a hug". I'm not sure if he really knew her or not, but she said "uh, it's all good".

As we got to the top of the escalator on the top deck he was walking by the all the red flowers and bent over and gently held one and inhaled it's intoxicating fragrance. He stood up and pumped his fist and said "YESSSSS!" and then kept walking.

Enzo's a tucker

would be a fantastic name for a band.

Or a fantastic idea for a slogan for the next Gaslamp tshirt...

when you meet Enzo

you'd have to say, "no, not you....another Enzo"...like it was a super common name.

freak out if he tucked, right there, right in front of you? < shudder >

What kind of snacks?

Finger sandwiches? Mini corn dogs? Lemonheads? (So many other great details here, I feel I need to know what he had in the bag.)

And for the record - guys in white jeans are ALWAYS funny. ALWAYS. Especially when they are stepping out out of their Trans Ams...

Drugs

He's on 'em. It wasn't his actions that tipped me off; nay, it was his Birkenstocks.

"Yeah, the guy in the four thousand dollar suit's gonna hold the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in three months. Come on!"

Nah,

just making fun of the erroneous old stereotype that all Birkenstock wearers are pot smokin', 'shroom eatin' hippies.
The real tip-off that he's on drugs is the white jeans. Everybody knows white jeans = meth.

when there is no game on

I dont know if this happens to anyone else

But I find that the days when there is no game on, my happiness level goes down tremendously and I am angry all day...

It happens to me.

Not only am I a bitter jerk, I feel lost and have nothing new to talk about: "Yeah, Joe; I know Peavy shut 'em down for seven and drove one in. You told me yesterday."

"Yeah, the guy in the four thousand dollar suit's gonna hold the elevator for the guy who doesn't make that in three months. Come on!"

Hell yeah!

Been out of sorts all day. Does not help that my son's team lost in the semi-finals of their final tournament of the year. Nine kids crying at once does not a happy parent make. Blearrrgh!!!!!!!!!
