And you thought you tried everything...
And you thought you tried everything...
Allow me to explain...Trina Coker and Eric Fizur apparently decided that it'd be a fun idea to have a night in which they got together a bunch of friends and had a Sushi Night. The only minor setback was that Fizz and his friends backed off at the last minute after Trina had reeled me in to go. I was looking for Fizz-dog, but where was he??
Eventually, I got over my anguish of not hanging out with The Fizz. The people that actually went were Trina, Lauren Schilling, Stephanie Sapok, Nick Scafidi, Rebekah Westermaier, Megan Chance, Alexis Sexauer, her boyfriend, and me, Nick Ruiz (as if you didn't figure out that was me). "Fizzard" wasn't there (haha, you like all of Fizz's nicknames? I'm making some up).
Anyway, we drove in two vehicles to the Cherry Hill Mall, and as we entered, lo and behold! "Fizzinski" wasn't there! (Sorry, I just wanted to say his name another way.) Alexis and her boyfriend went to reserve a table at Houlihan's (not Hooligans), while we ordered a plate of Sushi at the food court. Not just any sushi, the California Roll.
Now, I had vowed not to eat the Sushi, and so did Rebekah, but as it got closer and closer, my curiosity overcame me. Everyone tried some, except for Megan Chance, who won't eat anything that doesn't sound American...and then it was my turn. As I wield the chopsticks like the Chinaman I wish to be and pop it delicately into my mouth, Scafidi quickly yells "Swallow it quickly, don't chew!" I would have gladly taken his advice, only at the exact second that the sushi touched my tongue, it doubled in size and became impossible to swallow.
So, there I was, battling the giant Sushi beast with no one to help me tackle this thing into my belly. I chewed and I chewed as the Sushi beast was choking the life out of me with its seaweed tentacles. Everyone was begging me to "swallow it!", and finally I gained the upper-hand on the beast and managed to forcefully send it down to the bottomless pit.
I paused for a moment to recover from the intense battle with the thing they call Sushi. "Never again," I said. But didn't I say that I'd never try it? So the story continues...
Anyway, back to what I was talking about, here are some pictures of the evening. Coming soon, clickable faces!
