A Cleveland Choose Your Own Adventure

Grumpy's Cafe in Tremont

A Cleveland Adventure

Sitting at Grumpy’s with a group of friends, you are absentmindedly pushing your blueberry pancakes around the plate. Your heart is crushed by another dismal Browns season, leading into an equally bleak offseason. You perk up when your best friend suggests recreating Mike Polk’s Factory of Sadness video. Ha announces, "That will help everyone feel better," and you agree. 

You put your fork down and before you know it, impassioned words tumble out of your mouth - forming phrases like The Fumble, The Drive, Cleveland Sports Fail Reel, the guy from Akron, CC Sabathia, swirling in a blur of emotion until you have to take a breath. You look up and everyone at the table is staring at you. Your best friend gets up and excuses himself from the table because he “has something in his eye.”

You feel a tap on your shoulder and turn around to see none other than Terry Francona, Coach of the Cleveland Indians. He tells you that he feels for the Cleveland fans, because he is one, and then asks you and your friends to meet him in the parking lot by his scooter.

He smiles and says he has something for you.

You look at each other as he heads for the door. 

Do you…

Go with him, because OMG TERRY FRANCONA!!!!

OR

Politely decline. You are on a mission to recreate the Factory of Sadness video and nothing will stand in your way.
