So after a month or so of basically trying to hide from the 8-months pregnant Mrs. Frostillicus, I think she might have turned a corner. My parents took out 2-year old for the night, so she went shopping and I went to watch some friends play in a Kittenball tournament and was there for a few hours. When I got home, she suggested that for dinner we go up to the corner bar for their meat raffle and suggested I have a couple of beers. This behavior would never have occurred even a week ago.I'm trying to decide if she's feeling better or if this is some kind of trap.
Kittenball.Meat raffle.Moar on these plz.
You mean like, what are they?Kittenball is basically softball, except the ball is about twice as big. I would link a picture here, but google images is ######ed and searching for kittenball only returns pictures of kittens, with or without balls (not those balls, sicko). It's a co-ed tournament, and the men aren't allowed to wear gloves, which is fine because beyond being twice as large as a softball, the kittenball is also very pretty soft. Not like, nerf soft or anything, but catching a line drive with your hands isn't going to hurt. It's a fun time, and there was much drinking by all. Especially "pinkies" which were sold by the trayful (one tray = 14 drinks) and are just vodka & pink lemonade. Delicious, refreshing, and alcoholic. What more could you want?Meat raffles are a big deal in Minnesota these days, gaining hugely in popularity after one of the local news shows did a big story on them and are held at nearly every bar on a weekly basis, but my family has been going to them for many years. You just show up, they sell 30 tickets per spin with a number on them, spin the wheel and if you have that number you win. Winning means you go up to the front and choose your meat. Steaks, Ribs, Porkchops, Chicken, hot dogs, bacon, whatever, all supplied by a local butcher. They sell 30 tickets per spin at a buck a piece, so they are raking in $30 per spin, usually for a local charity or school or sports team, and if you win the meat is probably worth about $20-$25 each package, so everybody wins. Plus you get to sit and drink.Any other questions?
