Magnum Sake!

Throbbing headache and a difficulty enunciating words but luckily it is Friday.

Thirsty Thursdays took a new spin yesterday when a fun bunch went to Tao (website: http://www.taorestaurant.com/ says it's "a sensual trip through the cusines of Asia.") It sounded great. I was just happy that I was going to eat the food rather than deliver it. We were a hungry and thirsty crew so we placed ourselves in the gentle hands of the server with the simple instructions of leaving us "over full" rather than under.

Those words would come to haunt us.

She then prodded me to get a large bottle of sake for the table. I asked why but she just said that I should "just do it." And of course that was absolutely convincing enough for me to pull the trigger. I was so easy that she probably could have sold me floor mats, undersiding protection and the shirt that I was wearing at that point. She then unveiled this huge 'Magnum' Sake in grandiose fashion. Have you ever heard of such a thing? I expected a slightly larger one than a normal sake bottle but what came out was a propane tank of clear poison. She did not serve them in dinky shot glasses either but in what seemed like junior beer steins so that one gets a large mouthful each time.

Everything about the dinner was huge and made us 'over full'. I did not even wear a belt today because there was no need.

Even the fortune cookie that we had for dessert was almost as big as my head and filled with chocolate and vanilla creams (like in my head).

I am not sure what happened after that. I think at one point I was rubbing the belly of the large Buddha statue in the restaurant.

But after all that and a couple of pub stops later, I remember going home and found Babyboo with her girlfriends in our living room. I went to the bedroom to change and go back outside to be social but apparently I passed out and never made it. I woke up this morning shirtless and pantless and not being able to remember how that all happened. I think Babyboo took advantage of me! Damn you Magnum Sake!

Have a good weekend. Don't let it happen to you!
