"The National Anthem" for Brock's Birthday

We were eating lunch with a group of friends Sunday and our waiter came up to Brock and said, "Come with me." Brock didn't hesitate or question at all. He just stood up and walked with the waiter who went to the center of the room. We were in a smaller room in the back of the restaurant and it was packed. Our waiter said very boomingly, "Attention everyone! I want you to meet Brock." At this point, Brock began shaking hands with people from the other tables and saying that he was glad to meet them!

Then, the waiter said that in honor of Brock's birthday, our group wanted him to be embarrassed. So, instead of singing "Happy Birthday" to him, we wanted him to do his dance. Brock said that he needed someone to sing. Another table pointed out a girl that they said could sing. Brock told her to sing "The National Anthem." She very sweetly asked everyone to sing with her. Then, she said, "The National Anthem, really?"

It was one of the funniest things as everyone in the whole room began singing "The National Anthem." Some people had their hands over their hearts and were singing loud and proud. Brock did his silly dance with some karate kid/flag flying additions. You will have to see it. We're putting it up on his myspace sometime today.

People from other parts of the restaurant came and stuck their heads in to see what was going on. People who were in the room came up to Brock commenting on how bizzarre that was. One guy was convinced that Brock had bet us that he couldn't get everyone to sing "The National Anthem" and won! As we left the restaurant, Brock was famous in there. You know that everyone in that restaurant will be talking forever about the day that guy succeeded in getting everyone to sing "The National Anthem" as he danced! I don't think that you can ever embarrass Brock.
