Disappointing Balls

This totally slipped my mind. Last Tuesday I went to my cousin Emily's graduation for NYU. Yeah, so I thought I was bored out of my mind at my own, but this one took the cake. It was in MSG, let me just say sitting there for like 3 hours (which isn't really that bad compared to the 6.5 hours at mine) in the pee-smelling arena sucked. I have no clue why it smelled like urine, but it did, that's all I could think about the whole time; cept when towards the end, one of the graduates totally streaked and all I could see was bare butt cheeks and his lil twig & berries on the big screen. His momma & pops must have been so proud.

Well, originally we were going to have dinner in that restaurant in Central Park. But then Emily loves that tv show with that restaurant called Rocco's. I have never seen that show before but I was gung-ho for anything. Well one of the main characters on the show called Mama (she's this old gran-mama person) was in there greeting everyone. The menu was very small, not that many choices actually. I was staring at the appetizers and of course having my obsession with meatballs...I took notice to the "Mama's Knows Best Meatball Appetizer." It was $8, so I was totally anticipating that these meatballs be the size of my head and that they would totally make you faint after eating them cause they're so great. Well, the waiter brings it out...guess how many balls there were? 3, yes 3...3 average sized golf ball meatballs! How are you going to charge $8 for 3 balls, you'd get a better deal hitting up some guy on the corner! So I go for the first taste, uhm yeah, they tasted like supermarket frozen food meatballs. After the appetizers were done, Mama came around to ask us how things were, dude, I so wanted be like, "Mama, your balls suck!" My cousin Kevin wanted to tell her that he had better at Sam's Club. The food was alright, but they did have good desserts. Of course, being the typical asian parents...they wanted to swipe the dishes that had Rocco's printed on it. Seriously..I don't think I will ever understand why they have the urge to do that? I remember when we took a family vacation to Las Vegas back in highschool...they took the egyptian themed dishes/cups from Luxor. So I have learned my lesson, I will not fall for Mama knows best food :P
