Going into July 4th Weekend the Writers at Fourth and Fifty have decided to take a hiatus for the weekend.  We’ll have a couple posts up on Friday, but this post will be enought to hold you over for the weekend.

In a spectacular turn of events, perhaps even BREAKING NEWS, Reginald Blackstone has captured paparazzi pictures of the one and only Mario Williams of the Houston Texans.  You are probably asking yourself, “where these photos were taken?”

Here it goes… I was standing in line at Buffalo Grille off of Buffalo Speedway on Wednesday morning preparing myself to eat some bitchin’ pancakes and bacon.  As I waited in line, I thought to myself, “who is this giant man standing in front of me…?   His arms look enormous.   I’m pretty sure this guy could tear my arms off.”  He turns to the side.  My inner monologue continues… “Is that a Superman tattoo on his shoulder?  It is a Superman tattoo.  No way this is Mario Williams.  Holy crap, it’s Mario Williams.  Should I say hello?  Where are my business cards?  Dammit I don’t have any.  I really need some business cards.  That rules out the email interview.”

I decided to play it cool and not bother him like these two other douche bags that proceeded to ask him a series of mind-numbing questions.  I feel like he deserves his peace, so I casually sit at the table in front of him and proceed to secretly take a collection of shoddy pictures with my BlackBerry instead.

Unnecessary you say?  It’s not every day you run into an NFL superstar. Plus, I wanted to share my brush with fame with my beloved readers.  As you can see from the pictures Mario likes to eat eggs and pancakes and drink OJ out of a red straw.  He’s JUST LIKE you and me!

I hear Mario likes Lambos, but I didn’t see any parked outside.
