...Like my encounter with John Merritt yesterday at the PG Reid Resource Center.

Me: Hey John, what's shakin?
John: Ehh, not too much... just reading about pirates!

Word, John.
...Word.

...Or, Fun Time today with little Liam Eskens!

Liam: [lifts up shirt in crafty five-year-old fashion as makeshift pouch for transporting toy cars]
Me: Ahhh! You have an outie!
Liam: [clearly amused by exuberant burst of babysitter enthusiam] Hey!
Me: I have an innie-- LOOK!! [lifts up sweater and undershirt to expose inward-oriented belly button, proceeds to point like a moron]
Liam: OH YEAH!! Well I have BREASTS! [gleefuly lifts up shirt, flashes innocent, unsuspecting babysitter]
Me: [dumbstruck] ...Smart alec.

Ha ha! I love this kid! (Though part of me yearns to question what the crap that was all about.)

Also.

Lastnight I hearded two drama geeks down to the GSEC to watch the Storm actually win for once!! (This morning my radio announced, in exact phraising, that we have a "two-game winning streak" -- HOLY CRAP DUDES, WE'RE ON A ROLL!!!)
Anywhoo, aside from the normal fun of pointing out which hockey players are going to bear my children (you heard me), I had the added bonus of listening to Mikey describe the changes he is going to make to the glorius sport that is hockey.
First off, there are going to be lions chained to the middle of the ice rink that the players have to skate around... just, you know, to spice things up a bit. And in addition to hockey sticks, when they get into a fight it will now be with swords.
I objected to this, saying that he was merely going to add everything he saw off of Gladiator and that wouldn't be origional at all. But oh no, Mikey wasn't done yet. Mikey was just getting started.
Next he proposed the idea of an exploding puck that will blow up randomly, incinerating whichever hockey player happens to be in possession at the time. I rolled my eyes... but it takes more than a little eye-rollage to stop a drama geek.
In addition to exploding pucks, the red circles at either end of the rink will be replaced by lava pits.
...I gave up after he informed me that the scoreboard is really connected to an alien mothership that will blast through the roof of the GSEC, and that the players will then have to fight it off with their hockey sticks.

...Nerd.


Ta Da.
