This weekend Sami came into Ruston to watch some football with us. We planned to grill some burgers, and porkchops.
We ended up watching the first game that was shown locally, Jacksonville Jags vs. The Indy Colts. It turned out to be a great game, though I think we all really wanted Indy to get the win.
The post game entertainment was provided by Sami and Taylor who continued their everlasting argument on whether animals can reason. Everyone ended up being dragged into the fight, and Taylor was the only one who tried to defend the position that animals can reason... because he is the master of opposition. If he hadn't tried to quote sources that came from places like the Animal Liberation Front, or any other group that values the lives of animals above those of humans... he might have had a fighting chance.
It was just like the good old days. Sami yelling his points at Taylor, and Taylor getting red in the face in his replies, and ultimately ending up no closer to the truth than where we initially started. Ahhh... those were the good old early years of college.
After the great debate of October, the other games on didn't really interest anyone, so Taylor and Sami headed into a battle of the video game egos. Sami has been making the claim for some time that he can beat Taylor at any EA sports game, and the time came for him to back up his claim. Of course, they had a great time playing, and probably more so arguing with each other about what they were "trying" to do on the previous play. The game went into four overtimes, and Sami ended up winning because he missed a 2 point conversion, which Sami did not when his turn came around.
We went to get some food at Subway, and had a good time, as is the norm when it's the four of us... The major conversation piece these days is Sami's arranged marriage. He's been talking to a girl in Jordan, and if everything continues as it's going now, he'll be going over there to propose in the near future. It's really interesting to everyone, how things work in different cultures. Coming from American families, we don't have any experience with these kinds of things.
Lastly, to cap off the night, we took some pictures so Sami could have some pictures to send to his prospective bride, and so we could have some to remember the weekend too. We did a lot of stupid stuff in the pics, but most of them turned out alright.
Here are a few of the pics.
