<p>To celebrate his fantasy football league&#8217;s 20th anniversary and the 40th birthday of a buddy, Bill Simmons and a group of friends hit Vegas. As usual, he has a number of funny anecdotes, but this was my favorite from <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/090903" target="_blank">Part 1</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>7:45:</strong> We will refer to it in 2039 as &#8220;The Sneeze.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what happened: I stood up at the end of a shoe right as Grady&#8217;s cigarette smoke nailed me in the nose and mouth, causing me to abruptly sneeze. Unfortunately, my mouth had water in it, which ended up ejaculating (and really, that&#8217;s the right verb) all over our unfriendly female dealer&#8217;s hands and arms. In the history of my life, I don&#8217;t think I have ever bummed anyone out more. It&#8217;s a new record. I could have attacked her with a bat Juan Marichal-style and she would have been happier. She took an exaggerated step back, frowned, grabbed a napkin and wiped the sneeze juice off her hands with a record amount of disdain &#8230; and then, to make it more awkward, refused to accept my sincere/mortified apology, which made me friends laugh even harder, which made her hate us even more, which in turn made us dislike her again because she&#8217;d been killing us for an hour, which suddenly made me feel happy that I accidentally sneezed all over her.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will be talking about that sneeze 30 years from now,&#8221; Russ says, wiping the tears from his eyes.</p>
<p>The dealer glares at him. She&#8217;s in Eff You Mode. If you know anything about blackjack, you know this ain&#8217;t ending well.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s my favorite blurb from <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/090904" target="_blank">Part 2</a>. Bill and his friends are at their fantasy draft, and were given a suite at Ceasar&#8217;s by the CEO of a fledgling fantasy football company.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>12:20: </strong>The doorbell rings. It&#8217;s CEO Eric! He&#8217;s accompanied by two scantily clad Pizza Girls, five pizzas and a case of Bud Light. I&#8217;m not kidding &#8212; this almost caused a riot. One girl is dressed like a cheerleader; the other is wearing Tom Brady&#8217;s jersey and underwear (only if both had been shrunk to one-fourth the size). Later, CEO Eric described our reaction as &#8220;2-year-olds at a birthday party as Barney walks in.&#8221; By the way, we&#8217;re old.</p>
<p><strong>12:40:</strong> Pizza, beer and awkward conversation with the girls is highlighted by a hungover Grady (wearing Tevas) struggling to keep things moving by asking the girl in the Brady jersey, &#8220;So, where are you based out of?&#8221; My favorite moment of the weekend so far. Slayed me. I want to see this scene re-enacted online with Zach Galifianakis playing Grady. In Tevas.
</p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;So, where are you based out of?&#8221; Classic.</p>
