I had just gotten over being sick with Mono around August '99, and my doctor had warned me, "now don't go playing any contact sports for the next 6 months" due to some side effect of Mono that makes your spleen susceptible to splitting. Now I didn't really play a lot of contact sports, but my roommate Glen liked to randomly sucker-punch me to start a good-natured roommate brawl on occation.... why I'll never know. Anyway, I told Glen to lay off for 6 months so I don't end up having to go to the emergency room w/ a ruptured spleen. Glen tells me, "alright, but I'm gonna punch you in the spleen as soon as the 6 months are up!"
Anyway, fast forward to New Year's Eve 1999... the Cal Poly SLO crew (including Austin and Glen, whose bordering on internationally notorious by now), and my sister go to South Lake Tahoe for the party. Midnight comes and we're in the crowd cheering and I turn around to see Glen kiss my sister for the New Year. He sees me and get's this "oh shit" look on his face. Then he proceeds to sucker punch me right in my spleen... "It's been 6 months, Happy New Year you fucker!"
The funniest part was the next morning when we're drinking mimosas and he tells me, "Dude! It's been 6 months, I get to punch you in the spleen!" and I had to explain to him that he already did punch my spleen the night before... right after kissing my sister.
