An A-Day for Slic in Tuscaloosa

Another weekend down, another recap to write. This weekend the show got taken to Tuscaloosa and Slic certainly did not disappoint. Going to Sigma Nu, seeing the Bear Bryant statue, hanging out with our two lovely hostesses, cheering the Dawgs in some bar, and tailgating with some Alabama fans almost proved to be too much, but we made it back alive. Let’s go to the highlights…

Friday:

- Hit I-20 West around 2:30 and the Firefly cap is twisted off. With me driving, the booze cruise has become a tradition with Rick when it comes to Interstate 20.
- Throw the Acura in cruise control and we are in Tuscaloosa in no time. As for the Firefly? Never had a chance of making it to town.
- Pick Fender up on the side of the road and head to the liquor store. See the Bear Bryant statue and he gets crotch chopped from the car. Pick up more “party favors” for our hostesses.
- Fender takes us to Sigma Nu. Slic walks in wearing a suit and acts like he owns the place. Meets a few of the brothers and gives them hugs, telling them he’s ready to rock n roll. Starts talking about the Kappa Alpha order and the big ass flag they had in front of their house. Fender wisely has us leave.
- Head over to Jennie and Emily’s house. The Makers starts flowing and things are going pretty well considering. Meet Hamilton, or rather “Beethoven.” Loved the dog.
- Fender leaves and is not seen again until later that night. Guess he knew there could be problems.
- The ladies take us to the bars and the night gets a little blurry from here. Rick gave our ride 40 bucks as a tip. I think the ride was free, so she made out really well.
- Some UGA fans found us at one bar and started the “What’s that coming down the track” chant. I’m not a big fan of doing that, but for some reason being in hostile territory got us yelling along with everyone else. Def got booed for it. We didn’t last much longer at that bar.
- Rick tells everyone he has a wedding to go to next weekend and Emily suddenly becomes his date. She’s promised a limo ride and a hotel room. Rick would later start looking for a room at the Westin and Desoto. Not to be outdone, Jennie becomes my date for a future wedding. Made my night.
- The rest of the night goes quick and everyone makes it back to the house in one piece.
- An orchid gets snapped and I get blamed for it. I promise I didn’t touch it ladies. Fender shows back up and gets in an argument with a guy who has also made it back to the house. Apparently Fender was told he couldn’t stay and was locked out. Things somehow end on a peaceful note.

Saturday:

- Wake up at 7:30 and the ladies take Slic and I to meet the parents. Wasn’t expecting this and Rick put on a show. Pops get told that Rick is in sales and will be starting Schwarz and McCarthy LLC, a consulting firm. What are we gonna consult?
- Go to Publix and the sandwich lady basically tells me I look like shit and that I need some sleep. Thanks a lot. Meanwhile, Rick moves full steam ahead.
- With it being A Day, the tailgate party stayed at the house and we got to meet some Alabama fans. Made nice with some, and enemies with others. Typical.
- Meet the ladies friend Bo and his friend Charlie, who I couldn’t understand to save my life. Nice guy, but a redneck nonetheless. Rick calls the guy Radio and acts like he has Down Syndrome. Probably gonna be punished for that years down the road. Bo: not a fan of the blog apparently. Rick will go into that later.
- Rick finishes another bottle of Firefly and opens another Makers. It isn’t even noon.
- Rick thinks one guy that comes over is Newman and semi chops him in the chest. He’s confused, but plays along. Coulda been worse.
- The Makers is done by 1pm. Head off to some bar where things would start to unravel.
- A tab is opened and Slic starts buying shots left and right for the girls he moved outta the way to get to the bar.
- Drinks are spilled and the girls eat it up for a little bit. Boone and Fender show up and see what I’m dealing with. Close Rick’s tab and take him out. $66 tab and a $50 tip. Seeing daylight, Rick thinks there is plenty of time left to party. Technically yes, but not for him.
- Obscenities are shouted around crowds of people. Slic walks up and puts on the Rick Flair show for these four big African Americans that are tailgating. They loved him. Particularly when he did an elbow drop on the concrete in his jacket. To top it off, he gave the cops the double bird who were stopped in traffic watching him.
- Some little 6 yr old girl yells at Rick to ask him who won the game. He walks up to her with her parents right next to her, puts his hands around her head and yells “BAMA.” We gotta go home.
- Make it back to the house where Rick thinks it’s a good idea to call Mimi. Ends up passing out on the couch.
- Knowing full well if he gets a second wind what could happen, I decide to cut the trip short and go back to Atlanta. Tuscaloosa can thank me later. Even if I did get chopped for it.

So that does it for this weekend. Eventful and no one died. Would like to thank our two lovely looking ladies for their hospitality and a great time. Sorry we left so quickly, but I think it was honestly for the best. Maybe next time. Rick’s next stop: Savannah for Snuffy’s wedding.
