I'm going to hell...but at least my friends will be there with me

Yesterday we ventured to Champaign to our alma matter and watched U of I mens basketball lose to Purdue. We then went to Murphy's on Green Street for burgers and beer. Next time you are over at U of I, stop by Murphy's - they have delicious & cheap burgers and fries!

Anyhow, there was about 6 of us so we grabbed a table at the window looking out to Green Street. As we were staring out, we saw that across the street right on the corner there was an extremely slick spot. For a while a homeless guy stood there and told people it was slippery and then asked for some change so some passerbys were cautious. However, he left and the youngins kept coming. Thus, we and the other tables near us starting watching intently and started calling out who we thought was going to wipe out. At first we were all doing this independently but then realized we were all playing the same game!

Yes, other's misery was our entertainment. It was hilarious though. It took a while for someone to totally biff - those college kids are agile and can stay on their feet...legs and arms flailing! You should have heard the whoops when someone finally wiped out and then took out her friends. Note: no one took a huge fall and cracked a skull or anything, we defo weren't wishing for that or would laugh at that.

At the end, we did go notify the store owners of the slippery corner and karma paid us back...my husband ended up wiping out on a different street corner!
