As we left a delicious dinner at Anita's Taqueria, we had to drive around back to get back onto Railroad Ave. In the process we had to pass the front of the Good Time Tavern where we were forced to wait because a cab was double parked while waiting for a fare thus blocking our egress.
We patiently waited and in the process saw a youngish feller lumber out of the front door with his pint glass. He ambled over to the curb where he proceeded to tilt his glass and emtpy the 2oz of beer left into the gutter. It was a comical sight as he swiped at it like he was getting sand out of the glass. Still the cabbie parked and just as I was about to lose it and honk the horn (because he could have pulled to the side.. why are so many people selfish tossers?) it was then that we noticed the young man smacking his lips, gulping repeatedly and turn red in the face. I said "uh oh... looks like a dry heave!"....
Ah... what a beautiful night... Maggie had an outstanding test run on demonstrating her kata at karate, she is up to 35 out of 100 books in the library program, we had just eaten a satisfying meal at one of our fave restaurants and now.... we get to see a Technicolor Yawn. Chris said "that's no dry heave!" Though we all knew what was happening we couldn't look away (and not just because we were still STUCK behind this selfish cabbie!), but it was almost in slow motion and the kid's face was a sight to behold. I only wish I had my good camera with me cos you just don't see a multiple booze barf like that too often when you're boring folks like us. No less on a Wednesday night at 7pm!! We were just in the right place at the right time.
I simply turned to Maggie and said "did you see that?" she said "yeah" (all grossed out) and I said "I'm adding guys like THAT to the list of boys you shouldn't date" to which she replied in her "no-doy,-mom" way "Yeah, NO WAY!" Good girl.
