Paul’s Pizza Push-ups!

For the past month, there’s been a guy on our couch.  His name is Blake, but we’ve come to refer to him affectionately as “the guy on the couch.”  Which, as of a week ago, is a moniker of the past for Blake.  He has left the nest of our home and moved into the domicile of a guy named Paul.Paul just bought the house and Blake is the first tenant.  This past week is the first one in their new home, and they have spent it getting furniture and the like to settle in.  I’ve let them use my truck on several occasions for that purpose.  Including yesterday…After being humbly denied their aspirations for retro furniture, I met with Blake and Paul at Cici’s for $3 pizza buffet.  While at our table, a small band of boys presumed to do 30 pushups by the front cashier, and then the manager handed them cash, in which the boys immediately ran to the arcade in back.  This is quite intriguing, we thought.  Ten minutes later, a smaller group of boys did the same, and were handed cash afterwards.  (does Cici’s give cash for push-ups?)  Paul got a kick out of it and began to joke that he should do 50 girl push-ups.  We thought he was merely kidding… I wasn’t the only one with my cellphone out to capture this magnificent moment.  The manager was eating it up as well.  You may have heard towards the end something about Cici’s website.  The manager had congratulated Paul because he was going to be on the Cici’s.  Keep your eyes peeled… 

Represent!

We are Bales Boyz!  Show some love for the south side of KC.  You know how we do!
