More Dudes.

More stories of dudes. British Columbia …

- My roommate’s sister’s boyfriend’s schoolmate’s ex-roommate’s house party. I challenge the roommate’s sister’s boyfriend’s schoolmate’s ex-roommate’s cousin to Foosball. Someone wins, someone looses, somehow we end up walking the wrong way to the bar. I challenge my opponent to a competition of physical strength, Bulgarian Back-squats. Must find gym. Someone’s backyard grotto will do. Also inadvertently challenge to fence jumping competition. I loose on the front one-legged squats. Miss last call, are very lost, have wandered for hours. Travel to my roommate’s sister’s boyfriend’s schoolmate’s ex-roommate’s cousin’s older brother’s house (no one home, have a spare key, let ourselves in). Want to pass out but my roommate’s sister’s boyfriend’s schoolmate’s ex-roommate’s cousin’s older brother’s baby now lives in the spare bedroom. Sleep on toys. Wake up get some breakfast. Get picked up go to the horse races. Lose some money. Meet up later.
