Rollin’ Da Dice
July 11th, 2008 by Braddah LanceSorry, not Vegas baby!
But with food.
All this talk about food yesterday was on fitting that last night the birthday boy Jason brought over some sashimi to the alley. It wasn’t ahi (forgot what he said it was - it looked like hamachi) but he knows full well I never turn down sashimi or poke with the caveat that I don’t eat the pieces with cartillage. So there we were, teammates chomping away on a very nice cut of fish (good color & texture) with a diet coke back.
Waking up in the middle of the night: priceless.
Let’s just say that lady luck ran and we (at least me) crapped out…literally.
Wassap Wit Dat!
Eating raw fish is always a gamble but a gamble I’m always willing to take. At least I’m in the comforts of home riding it out as I’m sure it’ll pass by days end - hopefully. Yup, stayed home today but not by choice. Ok, by choice. Because of the frequent “breaks”, I would prefer to be in the confines of a private bathroom than a public one as I’m sure everyone else would too.
No biggie really but my tushy is not so cushy. I do feel totally bad because I’m one of those that hate to put added stress to co-workers and would prefer to come to work even when I’m sick. I know there’s a never ending debate on whether people should come to work while they’re sick but I - 99.9% of the time - suck it up…well, in this case it’s sucking out. 
So uncharacteristically, I called in sick.
I hope everyone else is having a better Feel Good Friday than I am, literally. Actually it’s not too bad until my two dogs get all excited as I power walk to the bathroom thinking they’re going somewhere nearly tripping me. Close your eyes and imagine that - Yikes!
Well not to disappoint and sticking to the food theme - no worry beef curry, not gross - this going help you out! Come to think of it, especially with curry!. 
I know fo’ surah going make my (well not mine, gotta give props to one of my ex-players mom for passing it down to me - Mahalos Eleanor!) secret potato salad mo’ easy fo’ make. Gurans-bombarans nobody make dis salad and most definitely broke da mouth! Kwonic pah-tay anyone?
Mahalos for the video link pandahugger and I know you guys going sincerely enjoy it - if you cook - cause I know I going do ‘em everytime now!

Hey! No blame the fish. Was the DIET coke. What’s 26 calories? Plus you were bowling & working off the calories. BTW, how was bowling?
Neat potato trick. Gotta try that. Guess it’s going to be teriyaki-something and potato/mac salad tonight! Or maybe chili. Or stew. I’d make curry, but I need a good and easy recipe.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:01 am
BL’s on a new diet……..the “Hershey Squirt” Diet.
(Okay………….I had my fun. You TAKE CARE BL…………keep hydrated and WIPE “tenderly”
)

Supposed to open up this Sunday, bright and early, from what I read.

Dirtball,
Great list! Especially the ones pertaining to those special people in our lives.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:30 am
Wow, the creative juices are really flowing this morning in Lanceformerland, along with the contents of Braddah Lance’s bowels.
aw man, I gotta wait until I get home to check out that video. Something about peeling potatoes? I’m assuming that’s the one where you put the boiled potato in the ice water and the skin comes right off?
Those Japanese sure are inventive. Try watch the one about folding the t-shirt. Gotta watch um like 10 times in a row to figga that out.
Well, hope you feel better, BL. I think I can safely say we all been there, and know how you feel.
So what, any of your friends got sick too? Maybe was tilapia sashimi?
July 11th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Been there. Usually passes (pun intended) in 24 hours or so. Hope you feel better!
July 11th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Hoo BL, I hope you get one laptop to take with you when you sitting on your throne. Between Dirtball and OL, you would be laughing so hard, let’s say good thing you sitting down. If I was drinking something when I read all dis post, I would be wiping my monitor all day.
But you all take care. Let em RUN da course.
OK everybody, let’s do Frankie’s cheer. All together now…..8)

Aw man that sucks to have the $#i%s. Being born and raised here I’m just like you, gotta have the raw fish. Take the gamble. As long as you get the fish froma reputible source or da buggah is fresh, chance um. Even if the buggah no smell too hot…cook um and eat like that too. Ono. Btw Lance, drink plenty liquids and buy some Imodium and you’ll be set. I always think of the stomach flu in a positive way… great way to lose weight. Lol.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Hey BL:
Here’s a joke to think about while you’re sitting on the throne:
What did Sushi A say to Sushi B?
Wasabi?
July 11th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Like da doctor said to da man with da gallstone, “this too shall pass.”
Take it easy BL, I always say it’s better to be sitting than kneeling. Hope your TP is soft!
July 11th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Holy Crap! …yeah, ALL pun intended!
Geez! I gotta say all you Braddahs/Sistahs……DA BOMB!

July 11th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Eh BL,
I’m just back from lunch.
I fogot to tell you….make sure you “shoot down” afta each visit to your throne.
Even though you only “pissing” through another puka……..you cannot just wipe. Make sure you “shoot down” cuz if you don’t, when da buggah dry up, your doggies gonna come BODDAH YOU and ask each uddah, “eh……whea da HAUNA coming from?”
Just a personal hygiene tip………………………
GREAT WEEKEND! and hope you feeling bettah…….

the kwonics/lanceformers need to plan a party…why should only the tsaiko’s have fun?? lol!! ho BL…you know that loss of BM control is also a sign of old age…lol!!
July 11th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hey BL, by now you should be bettah, yeah? Hope so so you can enjoy the weekend…just take it easy with food. Take only enough so you not hungry for a while. I’m a firm believer in chicken noodle soup when you able to stomach it.
Yeah, I’ve had some bad stomach reaction in my lifetime. Unlike wife who has a cast iron stomach, I will get deathly sick to some foods or exposure to a virus. Last year had one colonoscopy ? cuz doctor had to make sure it wasn’t something in my intestines after a bout of severe stomach cramps. He asked if I went to Vegas recently because of an outbreak of virus, I think was at the California Casino. You young yet and get ways to go but us old futs gotta get our butts checked out after age 50 as a precaution…huuu, something to look forward to!
July 11th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
BL how you going enjoy tomorrow at the festival…..man with all that hot fuud…..goin get relapse with extra burn
….no worries if soa jus dab som vasaline 
next time u wipe going be smuuuud 
…..naa take it easy….what come around goes around 
July 11th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Not so good being sick on Friday, BL. Kinda jam up your weekend. If you suddenly better on Saturday, and your boss see you out and about, they going think you was playing hooky. Good thing you documented on the blog, so maybe you all good.
I dunno about the Immodium or Kaopectate. My doc said just let um go, don’t try and stop the runs, cause your body is trying to get the bad stuffs out. He told me to take Pepto instead, to try and settle your stomach. The other stuff keep the bad stuff in. I dunno if true, but kinda make sense to me. Best to drink ginger ale, and grind some crackers. Saimin works wonders. Cannot beat “Vitamin S”.
Soda X?
” I like da cracka!”
July 12th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Eh BL, your blog contagious oh wat…..my stomach not to good today
and I heva even eat raw fish last night 
July 12th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
mistake not “heva” but “neva”…
July 12th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
LOL…What happened? Thought you had an iron stomach….
Have u tried the potato trick…does it actually work? I wouldn’t know since…I don’t cook.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:30 am

But I’m back and au’ good.
July 14th, 2008 at 8:46 am
