Dudes of Lee Street

I wanted to share with the world an event that occurred in the 702 Lee St. residence yesterday.  Let me preface this tale by saying I love both Kyle and Adam…no homo.  It all began at about 2:17 on Friday the 14th of November (yesterday).  I had just returned home from class, exhausted from the week yet excited for the weekend.  I take a seat on the couch and indulge myself in my usual pepper turkey melt, no honey mustard sub wing sauce, from LSD. No sooner than 2 minutes after devouring my lunch does Kyle barge in the door and utter a singular, seemingly harmless, word…”slackers”.  At first I felt as though he wanted to watch the 2002 movie starring Devon Sawa and Jason Schwartzman. This was incorrect. Kyle wanted me to accompany him to the local used video game and music depot downtown.  He wanted to purchase…Pokemon…for Gameboy.  I declined the offer because I needed to pack for my trip home to KC for the weekend to see Thrice…which was epic and unforgettable. Soon after I respectfully declined the invitation Adam came home.  Kyle proceeded to invite Adam and the two went on their merry way to Slackers to purchase Pokemon…for Gameboy.  Within 30 minutes I hear them return home, their voices full of excitement and gaiety.  I trudge downstairs to investigate.  They had both purchased not only the Pokemon video game, but Gameboy’s as well; Kyle’s was green, Adam’s purple, of course. I return upstairs to continue packing for my trip home and I proceed to hear the following statements from the living room. I provided pictures of said Pokemon so those who are unfamiliar with the world of Pokemon would have an idea.

Kyle: “You can’t start with Pikachu, you fucking NUBE!!”

Adam: “Suck my Pidgey BITCH!!”

Kyle: “Hold on Adam, we have to stop playing so we can take pictures of our Gameboys and post it on our blog” [they proceed to take pictures of their Gameboys]

Adam: “Squirtle fucking sucks, but Blastoise is the shit.”

Kyle: [while running through the house after defeating another Pokemon master] “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH UPSET OF THE CENTURY!!!

This banter of hit points, pokeballs, and leveling up continues until I leave for KC. God only knows how long it went on after i left. I would like to respectfully submit that this is the single nerdiest thing that has ever happened in the house. With all of that said, if I didn’t have to leave for KC….I would have been sitting next to them on the couch with my newly purchased blue Gameboy talking ish because I just defeated some nube poke-master who brought his weak ass level 8 Bulbasor into my house.
