Two nights ago, one of my good friends who is a lawyer in east Texas came to Shreveport to hang out with us.
He is a member of the "I've lost a lot of money here so give me free stuff" club at The Horseshoe Casino, so we decided to watch the Celtics/Lakers game there, then go gamble. One of the benefits of that club is this private VIP room with free drinks and food and big lounge chairs and huge flat screens, which is where we watched the game. Me, Nils, Sean McKittrick, Benson and my buddy were downing vodka clubs and because the game was such a blowout, we started fucking around with the people who work there, one woman in particular. She was a huge black woman, all fat and jovial and full of raucous laughter. She was a Lakers fan, so of course we were busting on her:
Woman "It's aight. They comin' back. Kobe gonna get it, he coming. You'll see, he comin."
We were at least 7 or 8 vodkas into the night at this point, and before I can even make a joke, Nils belts out in his deep baritone:
Nils "Yeah, he's coming alright, he's coming to rape THE SHIT out of you!"
Of course I busted up laughing, but pretty much everyone else in the room stopped and looked over at us. I can't say for sure, I but I think McKittrick--who is a pretty normal dude and isn't quite used to our particular brand of craziness--ducked his head in anticipation of something being thrown at us.
One guy, a thick, middle-aged white guy who had a purple LSU hat and a yellow LSU collared shirt on, came over and said in a thick Louisiana drawl:
LSU guy "Did you just say you were gonna rape her?"
Nils "No, I said Kobe Bryant was gonna rape her."
LSU guy "Oh. Oh well, yeah, of course. Good call, that's funny!"
He laughed and high-fived Nils and went back to stuffing cold cuts into his jowls. People in Louisiana can take a joke.
