Today I have decided to blog about one of my friends and our often dumb escapades. I won't say his name, but you can easily guess who it is from the blog title. My friend often does very dumb things, not to say that he isn't one of the smartest people I know, but he often makes dumb decisions. I'll give a few examples.
My first story takes place over the course of finals last semester. Since it wasn't a regularly scheduled school day my bearded friend drove his car to school and parked it at meter close to Uni. After finals we were we decided to head over to McDonalds. My friend offered to drive since he had his car with him. When we got to his car he had a ticket on his window because he never thought to put money in the meter. Soon after noticing the ticket, we learned that he had also left his lights on. Of course his car battery was now dead. At the time both of his parents were out of town so we had to ask another classmate of ours to help us jump the car. Of course my friend, not knowing how to jump a car, decided he would take the jumper cables and randomly attach them while no one was paying attention to him. After telling him not to connect the wrong poles, we heard a loud sound followed by a spray of sparks from the car battery. He had done what we told him not to do ad connected the wrong poles of the battery given himself a pretty bad shock. Eventually we were able to jump the car and we made it over to McDonalds.
Another more recent incident occurred when Iain and I went over to his house. When we arrived at his house we saw someone standing next to a tree. At first we thought it was some random girl, but then the person turned around and we immediately saw the beard. We broke out laughing. After noticing the car he charged at us car and pelted us with hershey's kisses. We learned that he was "hiding behind a tree". However, he assumed we were going to come in through the most ridiculous entrance to his house and was thus on the wrong side of the tree. When I got there I learned that he had been sleeping in his steam room at night instead of his room, which happens to also be a bomb shelter. After removing his pillow from the steam room we hung out and relaxed. After that we proceeded to hang out and attempt to "hunt" deer with airsoft guns. He decided since he didn't have a gun he would use two poles as legs and pretended to be a deer so that the deer to come over. Magically it worked.
My bearded friend is extremely funny, but at time does extremely dumb things. In fact I had trouble deciding which stories to use because there are so many. Tell me a funny story about one of your friends in the comments!
Hey bro, entertaining post. You might want to spend a little time editing your entries before posting them as this one has quite a few spelling errors, just saying. So for my story: said friend spent 2 hours baking that homemade fortune cookie and it is now in the trashcan.
ReplyDeleteIain, you give some good advice, but you forgot to tell a funny story about a friend! But as long as we're giving advice, I'd expand on the "it worked" part of the deer story. What happened?
ReplyDeleteHm. A funny story about a friend. There are so many. When I was in high school, I had a very smart but also crazy and completely fearless friend named Amy. She was constantly talking me into doing things that I would never do normally, like detaching a clock from the wall at our school after school hours and taking it back to her house for no apparent reason, or letting her ride me from the Piggly Wiggly (a local grocery store - real name) to her house in a shopping cart. One time she talked several of our friends into going cow tipping (this is in Wisconsin, remember). The idea was that sleeping cows stand around in fields and it's great fun to tip them over. I've since learned that if you succeed, you can really hurt the cow, so don't try this! But all we succeeded in doing was having a very grumpy cow charge at us and scare us out of our wits. We ran back to the car, fearing for our lives, and never went cow-tipping again. (But we did laugh about this story many times afterward.)
Haha, great stories. Do I have any good ones... well, in the unrestrained days of middle school, I was vaguely acquainted with someone who sounds like your mysterious bearded fellow. This kid, Felix, was ridiculously smart, but, unfortunately, equivalently immature. He was the laziest person I've ever known, and I shudder to think what he'd be like as a high school senior.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, we were having a sleepover in his basement. Oddly enough, the basement was decorated with road signs, as he and his father had the (illegal) tradition of taking them home. One of our friends had fallen asleep, and Felix, feeling abusive, desired to prank him. He also happened to have two cats, and a box of catnip. You can see where this is going... and two scoops of catnip later, the snoozing friend was being sexually assaulted by the maddened cats. I can't imagine what he felt like, waking up...
As with the cow-tipping story, I wouldn't suggest this. His father was unamused with the tale of this escapade, and coldly related that the cats might have OD'd on the drug. I'm not sure of the validity of this, but it /is/ a drug, so.
