These will be my last two stories from the adventures of Kirk. I debated not telling them since they are both self serving but then I thought if you've got it you better flaunt it because if you don't hardly anyone else will unless you pay them to. These stories are called:
While in Australia Caleb corrupted Kirk by taking him to several pubs and bars. Neither Kirk nor Caleb drink alcohol and so I fell in love with a non alcoholic drink which I ordered 20 to 30 times called "Lemon Lime and Bitters." I loved it so much that I brought a bottle of bitters back home with me. Any ways on my fourth day in Hawaii I had been too long without this drink and every restaurant I had tried to order it in just looked at me funny. No one had heard of it. I figured I knew how to solve this and so I sought out the Outback Steakhouse. (a little piece of Australia in the U.S.) I meandered up to the bar and ordered a lemon, lime and bitters. The bartender flashed me a winning smile (female not like the sticker guy) and said I've never heard of it how do you make it? I proceeded to tell her and she made me one and it was perfect. I offered to pay for it but she refused and offered me a second. So I have taught the Outback Steakhouse Corporation how to make an Aussie drink.
The second story took place in the airport in Sydney as I was waiting for my plane to Oahu. I was pacing around the terminal as I always do, (I hate sitting still) wearing my Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Champions T Shirt when I was approached by a man who introduced himself as Don from South Carolina. I told him I was Kirk from Canada. The next thing he asked me sent a chill of joy down my spine. He said "So how long have you been playing for the Hurricanes" I said "excuse me" He said "it must have been great winning the cup this year" I then explained to him that I was a fan and not a player on the team. He probably thought I was Mike Commadore. Look up his picture I think you will see the resemblance.
