King Soopers Games!

King Soopers is the local Grocery store of choice. Who's choice? Mine. I grew up going there so it's more of habit than anything. I could choose the Safeway across the street - or the Albertsons down the road... but I usually default to the King Soopers.

The other night on our way back from Colorado Springs for a family getaway, my sister Mandi, my boyfriend Mike and I decided to stop for a few things before settling in at home. Nothing too exciting happened, we checked out a hot beefy tattooed guy who kept popping up wherever we were (AND who Mike and I totally got busted checking out when we first saw him!) we shopped and then we began to head out of the store.

As Mandi and Mike lead the way I was called to attention by this guy who'd pulled his cart full of groceries over to the side and began yelling to us.

"HEY! Guys.... can I talk to you?"

Mike kept walking and Mandi was halfway to the car. I'm thinking that I'm too close and had already made eye contact so I couldn't just ignore this obvious sales person.

We're in the suburbs so it's not often you get gaggled by people wanting money from you at the store... well other than those needy little girl scouts when they're selling cookies.

The guy introduced himself (Names forgotten already) and he shook my hand and followed as I kept a pace (slower than the original but still car bound) to help unload the items into Mike's car.

He asked me if Mike and I would be interested in playing for this football team that he owns?

FOOTBALL? I know I should be all butch and manly and into it but honestly I don't even get the game... I've tried - it just never stuck. I explained to him as we kept walking through the parking lot that I don't even like football.

"Seriously? Wow... I bet the two of you together would be an amazing force!"

OK When he said that I went mentally to pure porn! I couldn't help it - and yes there were shoulder pads involved in my thoughts... but not football. PORN!

I withheld my thoughts and comments other than to say... "yeah not into it but thank you though"

He said thanks and shook his head like we had let him down... ruined his day.

Then I hear Mike at the car with my sister as they are putting the groceries into the trunk as he says... "I like penis.... I like penis"

I know many gay guys who still like football but it made me chuckle. - I guess that guy shops for all sorts of beef when he's at the store. ... HAHA!~ So do we.
