Electronic Produce
by Slack, on April 19th, 2003
So, I had an interesting night last night. Went over to Drew and Cyn’s and had a BBQ. We had all the standard fun. Cyndi’s dad and stepmom were there, and Drew’s parents were there for a short while as well. Other than that it was just Heidi, myself and Kev. After a few drinks, the fun started. First was Operation Rosebush Freedom. You see, Drew’s neighbors were, among other things, WT, poor money managers, poor housekeepers, loud & annoying, and just generally rotten people. Well, they got their house foreclosed on and left it in a mess. They left other lifeforms to die in the wake of their irresponsibility — two rosebushes and a cat. Unfortunately, the cat perished and could not be saved, but damn it, we could save those rosebushes. So, under the cover of night we hopped the wall, freed them of their bonds and replanted them in Drew’s yard where they could be happy. Truth be told I didn’t do much of the handy work, because Kev was too damn quick about it.
Next was Operation Electric Produce. Ever wonder what you could do with a stripped power cord, two nails, and a pickle? :) Well, wonder no more my friends. I’ll tell ya all about it. It lights up real nice! Right around the time that laughter peeks, you’ll find that you’ve blown a GFCI or two, however. Personally tho I found that the egg we lit up was much cooler. It was a more delicate operation however that involved a DeWalt cordless drill, and two finishing nails. But we got that aborted chicken to light up pretty good indeed! :)
Ahh never a boring moment at Drew’s. :) Tonight we have another party to go to. My boss’ going away party. She’s leaving us for a new crew. Sucks. She’s awesome, and there’s nothing worse than a bad boss. Hopefully this new guy will be as good. Time will tell. That’s the news, and I’m outta here!
