We were going to have a party that night. No big deal, but before the party got started a few friends and I decided to check out the local radio talk show’s studio. So we headed in and met the host, Glen Beck and his producers. We were just wandering around the office when we noticed the arcade machines. These were no normal arcade machines. In fact they were archives of old shows, masquerading as arcade machines.

Needless to say we were immediately intrigued and decided to check it out. Each show had it’s own character and you could pit various shows on the different machines against each other as a fighting character. So my friends and I made two teams. One team was a particularly technologically advanced team of mechs, manbots, and robots, covering topics like international politics, and my brother’s personal favorite: TREES. My team was a mish mash of pirates and ninjas, all highly trained, highly brutal and somewhat skillful. They covered the topical gamut of Hilary Clinton and Bill Clinton as well as Mahmoud Ahminejad. I lost decisively.

So, I, somewhat bored and discouraged, managed to peel my friends off these machines to head back to my place to start the party. The party was pretty good – I don’t really remember much. But near the end of the party, I decided I wanted to go to WaWa. I promptly picked up my keys and chugged the rest of the beer I was drinking on the way out to my car.

Now, I live on a very peaceful street full of rich people who never talk to each other because their yards are too big. So when I tell you that I was surprised to see three cop cars staking out at different places on the block you’ll understand I’m understating my emotions a little bit. In fact, I was pissed. So I hopped in my car and figured the best way to get around the cops was to first make my car jump really high in the direction of the cul-de-sac. This seemed to work like a marvel except a) when I landed I hurt my car and b) a little gremlin appeared in the passenger seat. Nevertheless, the cops, dumbfounded by my extraordinary vehicular abilities could not find me. Me and my new gremlin friend peacefully made our way to the WaWa.
