I Got Next

So funny story, last Saturday I was out celebrating a friend's birthday and we went to a bar called "The Blue Line Club Car" in Wicker Park/Bucktown (near Violet Hour). A great time was had by all. This place had games that you could play at your table like Scattergories and Jenga. Well a buddy of mine found a life-size Connect Four!!! it was really fun to play with teams. Of course, my team was rocking and rolling most of the night. Much later, a gentleman comes up to us and has shades on the top of his head. He proceeds to put them on, leans in, and asks, "Is that Connect Four"? to which we replied that it certainly was. He then scans the crowd (or at looks like he is, remember he has his shades on, in a bar, that is already too dark) and says confidently, "I got next". We look at each other baffled and laugh but tell him, "You got it!". We start the next game which ends in a tie, flip the contraption over to start again to break said tie and who do you think starts walking up? Yup. He gets to us, puts his shades down again and exclaims, "I said I had next!" We told him he was right, he did have next but our game ended in a tie and that there was no way we were going to give him this game until a definite winner was chosen. He looked angry (again I couldn't tell because he was, wait for it, wearing his sunglasses at night!! BOOM!) He stood around watching us play and seemed very annoyed. His party of about 6 was at another table playing Jenga and seemed relieved that he was no longer partaking in their game. He eventually walked away dejected and when we were done, we looked for him but his friends must have thought they had to get this kid home or something because he wasn't there anymore. So yeah, if you want to play any game at a bar, don't wait until they are done, just walk up and say you have next. Be sure your glasses are UV protected so they can't see the whites of your eyes and wait for success to find you. Have a great day everyone!!
