I was just in an elevator with ...

Mark Grace, and he complimented me on my late-night pizza, which I'm consuming as I type this. We're both staying at the Grand Hyatt in NYC, apparently, and he had with him something of a hottie -- though the red highlights in her mostly-blonde hair left a little to be desired.

This isn't an Ask Drunk John thread, because those are lame, but I am fairly shitfaced for the first time in about eight months after spending the past four hours drinking at a place called Redemption (at 53rd and 2nd).

And I didn't let on to Grace that I knew who he was, though I was a big fan of his.

And and the nbight did include an body shot off the hostess, who was a stunning 6-foot Asian-American chick.

I love being on vacation.

You're now free to go on about your evening.

 

After googling Mark Grace (forgive me.. I'm a looser) I am also now a Mark Grace fan, but I am guessing it is for different reasons than you.

 

You didn't ask Gracie if his escort was a slumpbuster?

For shame. For shame.

 

I'm guessing you didn't say, "If you like the pizza so much, how 'bout I trade you a piece of pizza for a piece of ass?" Or piece of pie for a piece of pie. Something like that.

 

Given what he is probably doing to that young lady right now, maybe so, Zeke.

And looking at my previous post, I'm embarrassed at the typos.


Bubbler, I thought about it, but she was a little rough for my taste. I'm thinking she might have blown most of Bon Jovi when she was in high school.

 

He bummed a cigarette off me once after an interview at the Cubs Convention (back when smoking was allowed there). Very, very cool guy.

 

Even the drummer?

 

John --

I forget where it was, but Grace once gave an interview explaining the concept of a "slumpbuster".

In essence, Grace said, when you're going really bad you go out to the bar and get hammered. Then, at closing time, you walk up to the fattest, gnarliest chick in the bar and ask, "You got any hits in you?"

 

Given that background info, I'd say Grace is busting out of his slump tonight. This woman was by no means fat, but gnarly is a possibility.

 

You're saying Gracie squared one up?

 

Like a scout seeking out the next linebacking phenom, this thread has good hip swivel, is long, athletic and gets to the ballcarrier quickly.

This thread could become be an all-timer.

As for elevator encounters, I hope Mrs. CI and I can have a similar one next week in Vegas.

 

I'm saying Grace is probably going deep. But unlike in his playing days, he better put on a batting glove.
