The Sleeping Dude
Posted on May 14, 2005 by Ching under Life, Poker.
Here’s the story with the sleeping dude. We found him sleeping in the little alcove behind the bar at Loft on Thursday. Before the beginning of second session, I went over to talk to Brian who sitting on the couch next to the sleeping guy. Brian was just drawing over there because he had gotten knocked out of the game early. “Who’s that?” “I don’t know. He’s been sleeping here since I got here.” “Did he even play?” “I don’t think so. Must be a college student passed out from studying.. Or he just had way too much to drink.” Chad, Jason, Chris, Brian and I decide to play knock poker over break. In the meantime, several people have come over to check out the sleeping guy. Naturally, I had Tiffany take a picture because he was really adorable-looking in his fetal position. We had complained to Tiffany about turning the A/C down because it was really cold. “He’s probably really cold. Do you have a blanket?” “No, but we’ve got some table cloths in the back!” So Tiffany had this brilliant idea of taking a tablecloth and covering him up with it. The guy didn’t even flinch. We contemplated doing all sorts of stuff to him like writing on his forehead and body. Even mean things like putting his hand in warm water and making him pee himself. That was Brian’s idea, by the way. I just wanted to get a funny picture that could be emailed around the internet with a caption like “Whatever you do, don’t pass out at Loft 150.” LOL. It would be a great publicity stunt for their bar, wouldn’t it? Anyway, second session began so we went back to playing poker, forgetting about the sleeping guy that we were so amused with earlier. As we were leaving, Brian told me that he found out the whole story from Tiffany. Apparently, our speculations were wrong. The guy was some waitress’s boyfriend. However, she worked downstairs at the River City Brewing Co. She was supposed to get off early but I guess she wasn’t off yet when he arrived. He went upstairs to find a quiet place to wait while waiting for her to get off work and ended up falling asleep. Tiffany said that the girl looked for him and couldn’t find him so she thought he left. She left, too. So when he woke up he had to call her to pick him up. I guess he had walked over or something and she was his ride. There were a few people missing from our group, but we still had fun. Chris and I made to the final table together. When I got knocked out in sixth place, he was still playing. Not sure if he won, though. I’ll find out next week.
