SO, NOAH AND NIKETOWN HAD AN EVENT FOR THE OLYMPIC TEAM LAST SATURDAY. NOAH AND NIKE PREPARED FOR THE ONE OR TWO HOUR EVENT FOR WEEKS AHEAD OF TIME. WHEN THE DAY CAME, NOAH RODE UP IN THE ELEVATOR WITH THESE WOMEN. HE DESCRIBED IT VERY HUMEROUSLY. HE SAID HE DIDN'T WANT TO STARE BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL THEY ARE WOMEN AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. SECOND OF ALL THEY ARE CELEBRATIES AND HE DIDN'T WANT TO ACT FOOLISH AROUND THEM. HE SAID THE ELEVATOR WAS VERY CROWDED WITH ALL THESE TALL WOMEN AND SO HE STARED AT THE FLOOR, TRYING TO LOOK NONCHALANT WHILE DOING SO. HE SAID THESE WOMEN ARE JUST MAGNIFICENT AND THAT THEY WOULD KICK HIS BUTT WERE HE TO BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO SCRIMMAGE WITH THEM.
