Come Friday, I am always being asked,
“Any exciting plans this weekend?”
And I always say,
“Abso-freakin’-lutely nothing!”.
I just want the week to be over, just relax, sleep in and just be lazy.
But I totally forgot!
This weekend, my brother and I went to the OTTAWA CAR SHOW.
An annual tradition the two of us have.
You know, it’s one of those “Brother Bonding – why-weren’t-we-born-with-rich-parents-kinda-places-to-go-thing-y”.
And every year, we always do the same thing.
1.) Stare and gawk at the cars.
2.) Debate if we should play the lottery or rob a bank.
3.) Check out the chicks and make fun of the geeks they came with.
4.) Eat.
Another thing we also make fun of,
are the funny questions and comments of the other people around us.
Here are a couple of examples:
1.) Hey Dude! Check out this new “HUMMER”.
The rear is ugly man. I don’t like it.
– Yeah! Like you have the money to buy it if you like it, asswipe!
2.) Excuse me. What is the Safety Rating on this vehicle?
– Good question! Since nobody here in Ottawa knows how to freakin’ drive!
3.) Can you please pop the hood? I just want to see the engine.
– Sure buddy! – (note to guys..if you want to show off
and pretend you know what you’re looking at under the hood
to impress the ladies, make sure you can find the latch and lift the hood within 5 seconds.)
Any second longer, I can’t help you anymore.
Funny isn’t it?
One more thing I would like to add.
Guys, why do you bring your girls to a car show?
I mean come on?
I just don’t see it as a place for a date.
Tracy and I would go there because we are actually planning on buying an “SUV” someday.
Plus she loves the trucks.
Anyways, you know what I mean?
We guys go there to check the cars out.
We check out the features, get in it and pretend it’s ours.
You do not want your girlfriend, dressed beautifully, appropriate for a dinner date or somethin’,
standing outside the car while you get in and you say,
“Oh my God ! This is perfect!! Take a picture of me!
Do I make a point girls?
Oh wait, on second thought.
Go ahead and bring your girls to the show.
My brother and I are not ready to scratch off number 3 on our annual tradition list.
Here are pictures of some of the cars at the show.
Have a nice day!
