Blue Ball and Friends Thanksgiving

Its the Saturday after Thanksgiving which means its Friends Thanksgiving Day.

In this timeless tradition, we always start the day with a game of Blue Ball. Blue Ball is a game that we made up and has nothing to do with having a bad case of the Blue Balls.

It is kind of hard to describe the game because the rules are ridiculously awesome and hard to remember. It is basically like rugby where you try your best to knock the person down to stop then from scoring. It usually takes a couple of hours to play and everyone is pretty winded at the end. Last year I learned that it is not wise to drink red wine and eat pumpkin cheese cake for breakfast right before I played the game. I lasted to plays and then vomed all over the place.

After the game, it was time to go to Peter and Jess' house for the feast. Peter grilled a turkey while his wife Jess prepared deviled eggs and dip. Everyone who came brought some sort of dish and whatever they wanted to drink that day. I brought an awesome cupcake dessert that resembled a turkey when they were all put together.

We played washers, talked with everyone, and had fun playing with everyone's kids. I did learn that Juliette and Elizabeth, both 3, loved to be thrown in the air at an alarming height and I am a big stinky head.

After Peter and Jess' party was over, it was time to go to Stephanie's house to play some games and go to Vino's. I hope you read the post about Vino's because it had the exact same feeling to it and I am pretty sure that everyone was still there wearing the same clothes when I originally saw them.

Since it took forever to get service and even longer to get our drinks, a change of venue was in the works. And that venue would be the M Lounge, a karaoke loving place that has steep stairs that will make any fall down to the ground while onlookers laughed.

Several drinks and tons of horrible songs later, it was time to call it a night and try to prepare our livers.
