The Downfall and Recovery of a Sometimes Blog: Part VII


Sometimes things don't work out how you'd like them to. Sometimes life gets in the way of things you enjoy. Sometimes you can't post on a little-read blog because you're stuck between two competing crime syndicates. Sometimes you just make stuff up because the truth is somewhat less interesting. This is my dilemma.

(Read Parts I, II, III, IV, V, and VI.)

The boys delve into the minds of Hollywood think tanks and come up with the best idea for a film since anything by Nicholas Sparks. Of course, there are even more revelatory confessions . . .


June 30, 2010:
Corban: I might be slow.

??

Corban: There are going to be tryouts for USA Team Handball in Sandy.
Josh: Would making the US team handball team be equivalent to making the North Korean football team?
Corban: Or the Haitian curling team.
Josh: That would make a great movie. I'll call it "Cool Rollings."
"Rollings" is a play on words. Get it? Because of the curling and the earthquakes.
Corban: Zing! You showed Haiti.

July 2, 2010:
Corban: Is someone from Ghana a Ghanarean?
Josh: No, that's someone from the San Fernando Valley.

Things are about to get even more contagious . . .

August 25, 2010:
Corban: Sporcle has a quiz, "Name the 200 characters who are mentioned most often in the Harry Potter series."
Josh: That just seems like a waste of time.
Corban: You're just a muggle.
Josh: You're a nerd now? Who knew.
Corban: But Harry Potter is nerd-lite.
Josh: Nerd-lite? Justify much? But seriously, you're a nerd.
Corban: Takes one to know one.
Josh: I'm fully aware of that, Pee Wee.
Corban: If I hear one more person call healthcare reform "Obamacare" I'm going to reach through the phone and punch them.
Josh: Only a nerd would have access to the necessary technology to punch someone through the phone.

I'd bet you never knew that nerditude (?) was contagious. At least it sometimes pays off with the ability to be anonymously aggressive.

August 26, 2010:
Corban: So is Jono playing? Is he going to be at the draft? Did you ever hear from Courtney? How do I know that this isn't really just all a long dream? How do I know if I really exist? Why is the sky blue?
Josh: Ye, no, yes, because I'm awake, I don't know, refraction.

After a time of addiction and organized crime, it appears that someone has truly found enlightenment.

August 27, 2010:
Corban: I hope to have grandchildren alive in 2160.
Josh: At the rate you're going that's not out of the realm of possibility.
Corban: I'm hoping that Nino fathers a child in his 100s.
Josh: That's really every father's dream, isn't it?
Corban: It really is. You'll understand when your kid is born.

(The End.)
