French Fans


Soooooooo, on Saturday the impossible happen. We won, not impossible that we won, but the fact that we beat Istres, who on a scale from 1 to 14 is a 4 and we are a good 10 or 11. No one expected that we would win, but thank goodness they played really terrible in the first two games and we got 2 points, sounds bad but hey, at this point this is what we need while playing the top ranked teams.

After the match we headed to the VIP room as we usually do to stand in the corner and pick over the yummy pasteries (we, Regan and I). Usually we stand at the table in the back cause no one speaks English and our French is limited with strangers:
French Stranger:"Bonsoir"
Me: "Bonsoir"
French Stranger: "Bon match!" or "La prochaine!"
Me: " Merci!" or "Oui, merci"
But there is one man who insist on have a full conversation with us, despite the language barrier. Now granted his cheeks are always BRIGHT red and his cologne could be called "Budwiser" I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. But he's drunk, he's always drunk and uncomfortably close when he talks to us. Usually it's about steriods (i think) or "boom" (apparently the sound we make when we hit the ball) but last night I was standing alone and I gues he thought it was appropriate to have a French conversation with me about Viagra...um sir? Ok I usually laugh at him cause it's something like him pointing at the red and blue image of Barak Obama on my shirt and saying something stupid like "Obama black! hahahaha" and I laugh cause I'm..ok I don't know why I laugh at him but I do. But last night I had no idea what he was talking about, so I walked over to a group of my teammates and Alice (the translator/setter) and asked her what he was saying and she goes "He's talking to you about VIAGRA!" Ewwww, why drunk man why? So I got freaked out and got away from him.

The later when Regan and I were in our Range Rover Clio in the parking lot he came over to our car and I immediately locked the door and he tried to open it, so I cracked the window about 2 inched and he tried to put his hand in so I rolled it a little more and he put his face in and gave my cheeks two overly moist kisses and blow 2 to Regan...so needless to say, I have a new boyfriend!
