For example, at the end the server was asking our names. I introduced my brother as my brother, and Koz as "my ugliest friend Koz." The girl seemed startled but I pointed out, "it's okay for me to say that, since he's my only friend" (which isn't true—as I have two friends—but worked for the joke) when Koz deadpans without missing a beat, "You can see why."
This reminded me of the time we were playing trivia and for some reason Koz was deeply intent on the menu when the server came up. I told her that Koz was deaf and couldn't hear us, so I would be ordering for him, and she shouldn't try to talk to him. Without any set-up beforehand Koz looks up with perfect timing and starts screeching like a dolphin in heat. You had to be there. That's one of his greatest assets: his timing. (The other two are how hard it is to offend him and how he doesn't mind that there's an 80% chance his upcoming kid will technically make me a part of the family.)
We played trivia at Brandi's in Stockbridge, GA. If you live anywhere around the south side of Atlanta, it's worth checking out. We finally met Brandi at the end of the night, and I was shocked to see she was a little girl! Brandi was 21 going on 12, and 4'11" if she was lucky. I can't imagine owning a restaurant at 21. (Actually, that'd be pretty sweet.)
Anyway, my journey home knocked most of the sap out of me and I need to get to sleep soon, so I'm going to post the Trivia questions today, and then tomorrow I'll have the answers, how we did, and what our team name was. (I would tell you now, but I want to make a comic strip out of it and I'm too tired to do it this morning.
You can play with your friends if you'd like. You can leave your answers in the comments too: just DON'T CHEAT!
