The sights of Vegas
I went to store the other night because I wanted cold cereal for dinner – hey sue me, I like cold cereal for dinner. As I got in line to pay for my box of frosted flakes cereal I couldn't help but notice that he guy in front of me looked very familiar. I was racking my brain trying hard to figure out who he was but I having a brain fart moment. It was all cloudy. Finally it hit me, the guy looked like the boxer Oscar Dela Hoya. I’ve actually met Oscar Dela Hoya and this guy was a little too tall and a little too thin to be him, but he was a good look-a-like. He was buying a bottle of Tequila and was swiping his debit card through the machine when I looked at him and said, "You know, you look like the boxer Oscar Dela Hoya"
It was at that moment that the cashier said, "Sir your card was declined."
He turned to me and said, "I am that boxer guy, do you want to buy me a drink?"
I said "No, that's okay. Why would I do that"
"Because, I'm your hero."
"I Just said you look like a boxer. I didn't say you were my hero."
He turned, mumbled something about me being an asshole, then he walked out leaving his bottle of tequila on the check-stand.
The clerk and I looked at each other and just shrugged our shoulders in bewilderment.
Frosted flakes are awesome for dinner (so are corn checks) for dinner! By the way, the guy was a dud. Happy dining.

You probably should have told him, he stopped being your hero when he lost to Sugar Shane Mosley not once but twice. Then offer him the opportunity to redeem himself by signing your box of frosted flakes.

Wow, that's a bit on an ego. I can't think of any time I wold ever inadvertently slip the word 'hero' into anyone's impression of me. Cereal rules any time of the day.

@Jim: You mean I'm not your hero? Gosh darn!
@Tony: I actually had cereal for dinner last night. I love breakfast for dinner, especially pancakes or waffels when it is cold outside...mmmmm *mouth watering begins*
But seriously, I loved the part "I said 'No, that's okay. Why would I do that'" Perfect timing on the wit there. Oh yea!

@Ms. Bullwinkie - I didn't realize how many people eat breakfast cereal for dinner
@Toughguy - I wish I had thought of that I could have used my phone camera and taken a picture of him signing it and then put it on Ebay
@Jim - wow I'm just thrilled to death that you're still reading my blog - you're almost my hero
@Sal - Gosh Darn! dude, you're just too nice. I feel like I'm the dark side to your good light side.
