I didn't know hippies played lacrosse

Ok, Deb always complains cause I don't put enough stories on here but the thing is, they happen...I get in front of my computer...I forget.

But since I can't think of anything interesting to others about myself right now I will share a story from someone else's life.

There is a guy at work named Eric who is a crazy hippy. A few weeks ago he was out in one of the work trucks and it stopped working. There are random "H-E-L-P" vehicles that drive up and down the highway and these guys pull over and clamed to be one. After they check out the problem they tell him to wait there while they go down the road to get the part. Long story short Eric got screwed...well the company got screwed because the shady samaritan's way overcharged for the work they did. Eric was too preoccupied cause his friends were waiting on him to get done w/ work so they could take off for a lacrosse game up at Notre Dame so he actually ran out of the office inadvertantly before everything was taken care of w/ the "mechanics". So he's playing the game of his life, is hopped up on adrenaline from the whole truck fiasco and scored more goals then ever. Then an opponent wacks him hard on the back of the neck w/ his stick. Eric goes down. His teammates start charging the enemy screaming save the hippy. Turns into a major lacrosse style brawl. After the game Eric has like 20 missed calls. After returning some calls he has broken up w/ his girlfriend and found out one of his relatives has died. Both were a long time coming and for the best he said. Later that night he finds himself at a poker game w/ a group of guys that for the most part he didn't know and for the most part were drunk. He, again, is playing the best game of his life. He ends up winning the pot and one of the drunk guys gets a little too riled up. Eric had taken his shoes off at the front door so is barefoot at this point. It gets uglier so one of the guys there that he was good friends w/ told him to run out the back door and meet him at such and such place. Eric takes off running down the street w/ no shoes on and scared for his life.

I think that is where the story ended. I hear he had a pretty spectacular Halloween but I was warned that I might be offended so I didn't ask about it.
