My CSB of the day

I met Kodi Burns today. There's a little bit of an awkward story to go with it, so if you want to read the backstory, continue. If you just want to know what he thinks of our QB situation, skip to Part Deux. This is your warning
PART UN
So, late this morning I headed over to Dillard's to pick up a gift for my SO. As I'm waiting for an associate to come help me in the purse department, I see Kodi Burns over by the sunglasses. I thought that was pretty cool and at least this trip to the mall wouldn't completely blow, until he turned and noticed me looking over at him...a random guy amidst many purses. Fortunately a sales associate finally arrived and saved me from further embarrassment.
By the time Dillard's was done raping my wallet (the rapage wasn't as bad as anticipated...turns out everything is 30% off for the next couple day for those of you that are interested), Kodi is gone and I haz a sad. Since I saved a little money and am in need a few new shirts, I head over to that department. As I turn the corner to the men's department, I come inches from running into Kodi. Purse in hand, I say sorry quickly and do a spin-move of sorts to get out of that situations.
I imagine Kodi is thinking 1 of 2 things at this point:
1)This awkward white guy is stalking me
or
2)This gay white guy is stalking me
I try my best to avoid the area he's in as I grab a couple shirts. I go over to the changing room and wait for an associate to come unlock a room for me (apparently Dillard's employees aren't morning people), and mere moments later Kodi is standing next to me with an armful of clothes. After a good period of awkward silence, he makes comment about how well my purse goes with my sandals. I tell him the story behind it, then we make comments on the promptness of Dillard's employees, and I ask him how he likes the new job, etc.
PART DEUX
After some small talk, I decide to pop the QB question to see if he would divulge a little info I could share with my e-frands (after all, sharing is caring). This is how the dialogue went:
Nino: So what about our QBs? How are we looking?
Kodi: smiles Yeah
(I wait a couple seconds expecting he to expound a bit)
Nino: Is that a good 'yeah' or a bad 'yeah'?
Kodi: laughs
Nino: So...that's a 'no comment', huh?
Kodi: Yeah
I didn't want to pry any further. It was pretty obvious he didn't have much to say on the subject. By this time a sales associate came over, unlocked a couple rooms. I tried on some stuff, told Kodi bye and good luck, got in my car and began thinking about how a company can charge so much money for two pieces of leather stitched together.
Overall, Kodi seems like a personable, funny guy. He's happy to be back on the Plains, and he seems to think the same thing we do about our current QBs.
We need a countdown clock for NM's arrival on campus...someone make that happen

Story sorta entertained me for few.

That sounds like it was awkward as frick. This your reaction when you got back to your car?

Best part of the story, imo

I had some time to kill...trying to figure out how to wrap a bag. Typing seemed like a better use of my time

More or less. Shopping for girls is always awkward. Having someone you respect watch you makes it 10x worse.

Been married almost 20 years and it doesn't get any easier. After many bad gifts, I make my wife tell me EXACTLY what it is she wants. I'd rather her be happy with what she got than surprised by something she hates.

You might find great success if you place the purse inside of a box, then wrap said box.

I turn into a bumbling idiot the second I touch wrapping paper. Or more of a bumbling idiot anyway. Doesn't matter how simple the wrapping job is.

Kind of boring. I like to think outside the box.

I'm fine with online shopping. I just don't enjoy going to a jewelry store or the women's department of a store to buy something that has a 50% chance of being returned. Not my thing

Just get gift bags...much easier.

well then I would cast that purse on an entire roll of aluminum foil. Or even better alternating layers of foil and newpaper, then covered in a layer of wrapping paper topped with a nice bow.

Nah I normally just find a female willing to do it for me.

Not to get all technical but did you just pop the job question without letting him know you are an AU fan? Just curious.

I'm thinking of putting the nice purse inside of a very shitty purse, then getting a series of progressively bigger bags...putting bags inside of bags, with the purse(s) at the core...sounds like a job for WalMarks

Better than my conversation with Auburn basketball player Mark Hutton in the 90s.
Setting: The checkout line at Kroger
Me: Hey, Are you Mark Hutton?
MH: Word
Me: Good game last Saturday
MH: Woooooooooord
Me: OK, Good luck on Wednesday?
MH: WWWWWOOOOOOOO00OOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD

Which is exactly why on every Christmas Eve, my best friend and I get shitfaced and wrap presents. Best part of Christmas, IMO. I have some awesome wrapping pictures from the morning after when I realized how bad they actually were.

My dad used to tell me that Santa got a glass of milk at every other house, so it'd be much nicer to leave him a beer instead.

My hat is blue with orange on it...and we're in Auburn. I have an Auburn croakie too, but I don't remember if my sunglasses were in the car. Either way, I didn't say "OMG you're Kodi Burns, I'm and Auburn fan". I guess he assumed I was an Auburn fan
