So, no then.

Prologue//

No one goes to a movie.

You watch one movie until it gets boring then you switch to another theatre and watch that movie until it gets boring.

Everyone does it.

Main//

Therefore, I was standing there, waiting for the bus, when I realized that somehow I ended up standing next to this dude I had just seen on Fear Factor. I’m not even joking.

Me: Hi.

The Dude (continues to stare forward, ignoring me, and remains silent):

Me (undaunted): So, did you learn anything at all?

The Dude (glances at me, scoffs, and looks away):

Me (even less daunted): I mean, you made an idiot of yourself on national television. Did you learn anything from the experience? From watching yourself?

The Dude: Screw you.

Here I was floored. This was the exact same phrase he had used before he had lost, mucho grando big time. I can’t believe he still said it.

Me: So, no then.
