THOSE GUYS...those guys that sit behind home plate at baseball games and call home on their cell phones. You can practically read their lips and minds as they say, "Can you see me? I'm behind home plate. In the blue striped shirt. I'm holding up a beer right now and have styrofoam cheese on my head. You see me? You do?!? Yeahhhhhhhh!!"
Then he turns to the guys he's with.
"Hey, she sees me!" he excitedly exclaims as he high-fives the guy next to him. "She sees ALL of us!!"
You've seen that guy, right? You might even be that guy. I have seen him several times in the last few years actually. He made his way up to Connecticut a few months ago to watch some fights at the casino and to try and work his way into TV land.
I was once at the same fight he was at, at Foxwoods, and he happened to sit right next to me, about thirty years old in a suit, as he aligned himself in the camera line right behind the ring so he could be seen. He is sitting there next to me trying to call his girlfriend or somebody but he can't get through and he is going crazy, dialing and re-dialing the number. He's very anxious and getting angry when the phone either cuts off or he gets a busy signal. When he finally gets through he changed up his whole demeanor, acting almost nonchalant, as he asks her, "Hey, what's up? Can you see me? Yeah, I'm sitting right behind the ring."
Apparently she couldn't see him, though, and this did not go over too well with the guy. He's telling her exactly what he's wearing, where he is sitting, what the people near him are wearing, etc. Finally, after a few minutes, he manages to make it into the line of sight of the viewers out there in TV land and he was so excited, asking her several times, "You can see me? I'm wearing the black suit, right?? Awesome! Call Tony and tell him to turn on the TV!"
I told my friend, "Please, please, if you ever see me doing that...hit me in the head with a rock."
