When cool kids drink
Before we all embark on another weekend adventure, I’d like to recall the events of the 4th of July.
The 4th of July around here is a time for celebration. Beers and barbecue. Friends getting together and enjoying each other’s company. This is what Brian and I set out to do last Saturday morning. We headed down to the house of a friend of ours who was kind enough to host. The burgers were seared and the beers were flowing.
Now, this party was populated heavily with what I’ll call “Cool Kids”. These are people who are into sports, watching and playing. They’ve got the clothes and the sunglasses and all that…
… but, woe to them, for after a few beers, inhibitions are decreased… or erased entirely. Some suffering this fate participate in the usual acts of public drunkenness. But a few, the select few, are compelled to unleash their inner nerd upon the world. They do this by singing a World of Warcraft parody song. I am not making this up. I was serenaded about the woes of being a shadow priest from one such inebriated cool kid. I have proof.
So beware, fair readers, as you set out this weekend for whatever debauchery you have planned. You, too, could wind up showing someone your inner nerd.
Note: The one on the right is wearing a Nat Pagle Fishing Supplies shirt. He has nothing to hide.

That’s just Tim being Tim. We think he eats paste instead of mayonnaise.
