Our Old, Bad Habits Part 2
I’m really sorry it took me this long to get this up. The mid-terms got all up my ass and made my life a living hell. Luckily, I’ve already finished up the next part, so after you read this and comment, I’ll put the next part up. Let’s get to the fun:
6. Killroy was Here/The Lonely Bear Tapes
Alright, I’m starting off with a cheat here this time. This is just sort of a catch-all for the silly adventures we have captured on tape throughout the years. Most people, after their college years, only have snippets of memories that their alcohol-destroyed minds have managed to save. Not us, my friend. No, we decided that the dumber we got, the more pressing it was to capture it on film. It’s great to know that there are videos of us doing the most retarded things we could think up–like jumping on a bed with fish sheets and yelling, “splash!”
But then again, there are some great times captured on film as well. The chase scenes were pretty bad-ass, as was the the Lonely tapes. I still look up our masterpiece on Youtube every now and then, just to remember how pissed off John and Bart were at each other, for really no reason.
5. Getting Irish Bobby Fired
Everytime I use that “I’m a Mexican” pic on Facebook, I inevitably have to tell the story of how that picture came about. Everyone loves it and has a good laugh…and then I get to the end; the part where Bobby loses his job over it. I mean, sure he hated that job, was overworked, and was underpaid, but I really still feel bad about that last part. I mean, I’m sure he doesn’t give a shit anymore, and I think we’ve all pretty much put it behind us, but that twinge of guilt still comes when I tel that story.
I’m not trying to be a downer, though. It was a blast to sneak into the studio the times we did, messing with the ALICO cam and busting that guy with the hooker. The fake newscasts were great too, with Tsz-Wai trying to get the Engrish down and John and King Bobby being asses. I wish we still had the video from that second one, though. Then we could have proof that it was all Lynsi’s fault he got fired. Speaking of Lynsi…
4. “Fusion!”
I don’t think there’s ever been a plan that came together as beautifully as this one did. I mean, we drew out a map and everything.
Here’s a link to the full telling of the tale: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=60211838&blogID=118054844
Words cannot explain the level of glee that we all had when this plan went off without a hitch. I swear John’s balloon toss went in slow motion as it knocked Lynsi’s glasses off. It was a great day for all mankind. High-fives all around.
So that’s the second part. I swear there won’t be a month delay between the next two.
My favorite part of the lonely bear tapes is me not being able to see the family with many small children through the bear head, while I swore at the real bear; and made inappropriate gestures towards my bear crotch; for being a sell-out.
oh man, the water-balloon attack. reading the old blog of this had me laughing out loud. classic moment. possibly our finest.
as for getting irish bobby fired. i think all in all it set a precedent for bobby. as SOON as you are bored with a job, QUIT.
Gettin’ Irish Bobby Fired! That is good. good. shit.
and Ps. I’m assuming that “I’d like to report a crime” (aka. the 2 ton weight bench stolen out of IB’s truck) isn’t making the top 3. And that is a sad shame.
Indeed it did not. I completely forgot about that. Goddamn, Waco PD was/is inept. I hope they have one of those “cold case” departments that can still look into this. Maybe Max Payne could transfer to Waco, and sort it all out. Are there any Valkyries in Waco?
