Does it count as a one knight stand?

May 15, 2017 1:24 AM

We had our prom a few weeks back for my school district - heard some commotion outside, so I went and looked out the window. I see a crowd of people and head downstairs to see what it was about.
I see what is shown above. And I know immediately who it is.
And I would like to present to you a small list of the things he has done, as he is one of my close friends.

1. Very seriously asked me to marry him for the tax benefits. He approached me at the beginning of speech practice one day and asked if he could speak with me privately. So we go to an empty classroom and he very seriously says "Now look Ashley, I know this is crazy, and what I'm about to ask may seem absolutely insane - but will you marry me?" *dramatic pause* "But not because I love you or anything. I just want to use you so I can claim independence on the Pell Grant."

2. Wore bread loaf loafers. We went kayaking one day and he had forgotten that we would have to hike back to our car after docking our kayaks. He left his real shoes in the car and when we had docked for lunch, he realized the predicament. He is pacing around the bank of the rover (barefoot) and then he screams "HOLY SHIT, I'VE GOT IT." Runs to his kayak, grabs a french bread loaf we had packed for lunch, his knife and begins cutting.
Loafers, activate.

3. Carried around a preserved crayfish in formalin for 6 months. He had done an experiment up at Rose Holman earlier in the year to observe the effects of different substances on a crayfish's body. During speech season, he got the opportunity to give an informative speech on his findings and did as such. For the info event, you can have a "prop" and he ordered a preserved crayfish, which he kept with him. For several months.

5. Gave every person on our speech team a framed picture of a man who looks nothing like Steve Buscemi, but we regard AS Steve Buscemi, signed "Best Wishes, Steve Buscemi". The man in question most certainly is NOT Steve Buscemi. Nor does he look much like him. He is actually just a guy that shows up at at the bar that belongs to our wonderfully wacky friend's father quite often. We regard his as Steve Buscemi because we convinced another member of the team that Steve Buscemi lived in our town. Steve Buscemi most certainly does not live in our town.

6. Held a Winter Solstice Party on well...the Winter Solstice in which we watched a very, VERY shitty lovecraftian-esque film. I do not remember the name of it, but I remember there was a transgender woman (which we argued over the whole movie about whether or not they were transgender for the movie, or legitimately transgender. It was for the movie.) A man gets murdered by flying paper and death by paper cuts. Raining blood. Poor CGI gargoyles. Etc. etc. Any time we wanted to pause the movie, we had to go to the other side of the house and pause it from his laptop in his room. Which was covered in drawings that appeared to have been done by a three year old. He says they were done by him and he is very proud.

7. Took me home from a competition one day, in his van. Which instead of having a backseat, has a small loveseat. He plugged in the aux cord and began playing a strange style of music I had never heard before. I looked at him. Confused. "What." He responded. "It's icelandic folk metal. I don't see you riding a woolly mammoth into combat?" I nodded in agreement and let him continue driving. I heard something pop and his can kind of jolted a bit, to which he says "Oh shit, don't worry about it. I haven't found a good way to affix the dear skull to the grill of my van." Due to the dislocation of the van, a case slides off the dash board. It is a poorly photoshopped videogame cover of Jack Nicholson. But as a crab.

8. Went to a movie with me one night after another competition (Edge of 17), handed me a full size American flag. Opens the sun roof, and tells me to be brave, than forced my hand to push it out the sun roof as we drive around town (about 11 pm), blaring loud Russian pop music as he screams "IN COMMUNIST RUSSIA, MUSIC PLAYS YOU"

9. Was asked to play at a fairly well known musical venue as he is quite good at piano. Shows up, well dressed, in a suit and all. Plays "Never Going to Give You Up" (Rick Astley, of course) on loop for the 15 minute time slot he had. Never stuttered, and never stopped.

10. As previously mentioned, his father owns a bar. He invited the seniors on the speech team out to lunch, as we begin arriving, he appears to be drunk. Certainly not Steve Buscemi actually is drunk. It is still 11 am. He laughs and says "Nah, I'm not drunk, but it you want some *insert foreign sounding alcohol here* I can hook you up. I kind of know the owner."

This is just some of the stuff. There are so many more, and they're all so amazing. Not to mention, his last name literally has "Meme" in it.

Well, we're going to different colleges, so I'll hear of his antics as a distant cry on the wind :)
