Clear and present danger

One of my roommates brought home a water gun the other day. Luckily I’m not on his hit list. But my luck only goes so far — my other roommate is trigger-happy. As I found out when I got home from FHE on Monday and caught a blast of water in the chest. The ironic thing is that I turned the corner and didn’t see him in front of the door, so I thought I was home free. Turns out he was hiding on the second floor, waiting to snipe me.

And then tonight my one roommate asks me to help him carry in the groceries. It was a bit out of the ordinary, but then again he’s got a hook for a right hand and so I thought that maybe he had something heavy — perhaps a bag of potatoes. I followed him out the door. Then my peripheral vision caught sight of danger. As my body curled into defense posture (and what that means, I don’t really know, but it worked), my other roommate’s water gun shot barely missed me and I leapt back into the apartment.

It’s hard living with a sniper. ~sigh~

hee hee hee

I can just *imagine* which of your roommates is the sniper… :-)

Yeah, if you know any of my roommates at all, you’ll know which one it is. :)

Hey Ben,

I just learned something new and I wanted to share it with you and your adroing fans/readers. Um… where to post it. Well CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER SEEMS TO BE THE BEST FIT.

DID YOU KNOW THAT 2008 IS A LEAP YEAR???

I JUST LEARNED THAT DURING LEAP YEAR A WOMAN CAN PROPOSE MARRIAGE TO A MAN!!!

Wahoo! I just wanted to let all the young women know so that they can start shopping for track shoes and practicing for the race. LOL

This reminds me of a story about a Bishop who told a fat man that he could have a certain very physically fit, nice looking young woman if he could catch her. The guy lost a lot a weight but finally caught her after a year of chasing her everyday.

Perhaps 2008 will be your year. Keep your flip-flops handy! Whoops! (I didn’t find out if the man could say no) Oh well. ~sigh

Um, if a girl proposes to me and we haven’t been dating, can you guess what my answer would be? :P (Not that I have anything against progressive, forward-thinking women. Especially not if I like them already.)

Forward-thinking women. We’re the way to go.

It’s true. Way to go. :)
