Queer Side of a Straight Guy


Jeremy has a cousin, Tyler. Tyler is a cool guy. He is one of the funniest people I know. He is married and has three great kids. Tyler and some of his friends watch UFC.

Lets take a time out.... For those of you who aren't familiar with this term let me explain. UFC = Ultimate Fighting Challenge. There are a few things you can't do in this cage aka "The Octagon". Included are things such as eye gouging, groin attacks, and fighting with bare knuckles. This type of fighting is also know as Mixed Martial Arts.

Anyway, this is a real MANLY sport. Lots of kicking, punching, some blood. You get it. Right??
Well, Tylers friend invites him and some guys over for the fights on Pay Per View once in a while. Tyler says his friend never charges anyone to come over but he doesn't have any food while they watch. So being the thoughtful guy he is, Tyler decides he'll bring a little something this time when he goes over to watch the fight.

Some normal food options for a bunch of guys watching UFC, in my mind, would be:

a) Pizza
b) chips and dip
c) little smokies in bbq sauce

The list could go on and on, but you get the drift. These are food choices you might expect to see at any testosterone laden sporting event.

Well, Tyler choses to bring over all the ingredients for smoothies to the fight.
SERIOUSLY, I'm not joking!

And not only does Tyler bring all the stuff, but then he proceeds to make everyone smoothies for the rest of the night. So in honor of his accomplishment I would like to label him as the official "Barista Boy" of UFC. If this doesn't qualify him I don't know what else would.

Hi Heather, this is ABQMom. I've noticed you've commented a few times on my wordpress blog. YOu asked which stake I am in. I live in Albuquerque, but it appears you're in the Tri-Cities. Where I grew up. When I lived there (it's been 10 years since then) I was in the Kennewick East Stake 2nd ward. I graduated from River View High School (Finley) in 1997. Thanks for the comments on my blog.

Smoothies at the fight, I have to say that is pretty macho. Great story.

Ty lives in Cali- AND he was the only one who brought food. So there was no topping off Tiff. It was exclusively smoothies and UFC.

Maybe he could be the Cabana Boy at our RS Birthday Dinner on the 16th? We're looking for someone to serve the tropical drinks!

Heather said...

IF the RS has a budget to fly him out I'm sure he'd be honored! HA.
