The Best Three Bucks I Ever Spent...
Saturday, Feb. 21, 2004 at 8:13 P.M.
The winter when I was 20 I hung out all the time with my friends Geoff, James, and Rob. (Rob who I later dated for a while.) Almost every evening was spent with one of these three guys who were roommates in a downtown apartment. I met them through Geoff, who was the one saving grace at church which my parents were still guilting me into attending. James had been his roommate in the dorms the year before, and Rob joined them when they moved off campus.
Almost every night after work I borrowed my parents� car and headed from suburbia down to the �fun-house�. One evening the plan was that we were going to walk down to the movie theatre after I got there. James was taking forever to get ready so Geoff and I, in the attempt to speed him up, decided to start out the door. It was mid-winter and the night was very chilly. We were walking slowly knowing they (Rob was still inside waiting for James) could catch up rather quickly. Well, we were out the door, on the sidewalk across the street and there was still no sign of them. So giggling ensued as we ducked behind a large Douglas Fir, and waited to see the apartment light go out.
When they finally stepped outside we stayed behind the tree. Being the observant (if slow at getting ready) guys they were, they saw us shivering there and we heard them comment about us hiding behind the tree. So they headed off down the street without us. We waited until they were around the corner and then began our pursuit. By the time we reached the corner we could see that while they were still working their way down the sidewalk, they were doing so slowly, obviously waiting for us to catch up. Instead of that, we headed over a block farther and ran so we could reappear in front of them farther down the street. Well our plan worked and we appeared not too far in front of them and slowed down, not looking back, and pretended that we had been in front of them the whole time. Like I said, these guys, while not particularly fast at some things, caught on to our game immediately, and the next thing we noticed during our chilly stroll, was that they had somehow gotten up the street in front of us! Game on! This went back and forth for several blocks.
As we were getting within blocks of the theatre, we took another �shortcut�, and made it back in front of them, but instead of letting them see us, we crouched behind a cab, jumped in and ducked down. By this time we were less than two city blocks from the theatre we were headed to. We had the cabbie drive us that short distance, paid him three dollars for the one dollar fair (seeing as it was such a ridiculous fare for him) and hopped out across from the theatre.
When James and Rob finally arrived, obviously looking for us since they hadn�t seen our ingenious escape, and were quite shocked to find us not out of breath like they were, sitting calmly on the flower containers in front of the theatre, reading newspapers, and trying our best not to laugh.
