Can't you just see them, the entire Rockets team, sitting around the fire on the couch and the floor, watching television like a boy scout sleepover.
ROXTIA, THat is too funny!! lol My version of what happened: Cat: Mmmmmmm!!! Damn, this food is good. Are you getting enough over there Yao? You haven’t even touched your plate. Yao: I need bread. Can I have bread? (question is ignored by Steve and Cat) Yao: (mutters something in Chinese to Colin) Steve: What did he say Piney? Colin: He wanted me to ask you if he could have some bread? Cat: Tell him we heard him the first time. Well give him some bread when we feel like it. Yao: (irritated) Can I have bread? Steve: No, Yao. There is only enough bread to go around for 2 or 3 of us. If any of us have some left over, you can have some. Cat: Yeah, see Eddie over there?? He doesn’t have any bread and you don’t hear him complaining. Right Eddie? Eddie: (nods quickly while looking straight down at his plate, trying not to make eye contact with anyone) Yao: (seeing one last piece of bread in the basket) But there is once piece left. Cat: That is there in case Steve or I need seconds. Glen: Ya know, you guys should give Yao the bread. Big men need as much bread as they can get and they will never take any more than they need. (Eddie looks up with a worried look on his face, like the ****s about to hit the fan). Steve: Shut up Rice. (to Cat) I told you we shouldn’t have invited him over. Yao: Can I touch your piece of bread at least? Cat: Yeah I’ll let you touch it, but then you have to give it right back to me. Don’t even think of eating it or even nibbling on it. Yao: (touches the bread once very quickly). Cat: That’s enough Yao. Give it back!!! Can’t you see I need it to sop up my gravy??? Rice: You guys need to let Yao touch the bread more than that. Here ya go Yao (gives Yao his piece of bread). Steve: That’s good old man Rice. You should be laying off the bread anyway. You are starting to look like Tony Gwynn. You should ask Eddie over there if he wants some first. Rice: Do you want some Eddie? Eddie: (nods yes and snatches the bread) Yao: But I have three commercials and he has none. Why should he get the bread before me? Cat: Because he doesn’t eat very much. Right Eddie? Eddie: (nods yes) Yao: GIVE ME THE DAMN BREAD!!! Steve: Mind your manners Yao. Where are you picking up this attitude? Cat: Are you teaching him this Colin? Colin: Don’t look at me. I only handle the language translation. Why don’t you ask Glen over there? Steve: The only people who ever whine about getting bread is either a 3 point shooter that doesn't get much playing time or some one that has never eaten here at Cat’s house. Rice: GIVE YAO THE DAMN BREAD ALREADY!!!!! Cat: Ok, Yao can have the last piece of bread. But it will cost him!! Yao: Can I write a check? Eddie: (trying hard to keep the corners of his mouth from cracking a smile) Steve: Not funny Yao!!
