A few of my co-workers joined me for lunch at a local sandwich shop called The Granola Jar. I usually get a Corned Beef Reuben (no dressing) and a broccoli slaw concoction when we go there... and I did the same today.
After I paid for my order, I sat down but realized I forgot a straw. So I stood up and started walking over to the condiment area. Before I could get there, a gentleman sitting at the next table stopped me and we had the following exchange:
"You're him," he said. I give him a confusing look. "You're the guy."
"What are you talking about?" I ask.
"You're 'goatee bike riding guy,'" he responds. Again, I'm a little confused.
"You ride your bike on Oak Hill Road. My kids and I see you every morning and they say "There goes 'goatee bike riding guy,'" he explains. "My kids created a comic strip about you and they call it 'Goatee Bike Riding Guy."
We talk a little longer about the fact that I ride in just about every type of weather and temperature and then I grab my straw and go back to eat my lunch.
Weird...but cool. So I guess that now makes me an icon in the Evansville area. I'll tell you one thing; if the "Goatee Bike Riding Guy" comic strip ever makes it big, make sure to send me my royalty check.

LMAO! Your touched. I want a copy of that comic, autographed, no doubt a collectible.
ReplyDeleteBTW, In case you missed it, that game went down hill fast and frankly short of Adam getting that ball there was nothing to be jealous about for sure!
