A Blind Score

Before leaving Huntington Beach and heading home after my epic race, I decided to make a stop at the first gastropub I could find.  Rolling 13.1 miles entitles you to drink your weight in alcohol.  As I chugged, I couldn't stop admiring my finisher medal.


Four hours later, I rolled out into the afternoon sun, got lodged in a bike rack and fell asleep.  I don't know how long I was out, but when I awoke I found myself in a storage unit, surrounded by at least a hundred cases of Girl Scout Cookies.  (I keep forgetting how doggone adorable and kidnappable I am.)



























I assessed the situation and decided I would need to sober up quickly if I was going to get out of this predicament.  As I considered my options, I downed four boxes of Samoas to help me think, followed by two more to replenish all of the carbs I burned in the half marathon, as well as to soak up the rest of the alcohol in my core.  Eleven sleeves of Thin Mints later, I had formulated a solid plan.  I would sit and wait until someone opened the door, and then roll outta there.  It was almost too perfect.  I rewarded my brilliant thinking with some obscenely tall stacks of Toffee-tastics.  

Since I had time to kill, I played a round of "See If I Can Fit In It".  Turns out I fit perfectly inside of a Lakers garbage can.  I do not fit inside of a portable heater, box spring, breastpump motor, or plastic air duct extension.


By this point I may or may not owe the Girl Scouts a couple hundred dollars.
