this is an adventure i took about 2 years ago with my friends when we were up at 1100pm with nothing to do. it represents the fact that we are college students and
we found something more interesting to do the rest.
it was a thursday evening. my father went to an auction on the airforce base to get a bunch of crap. some of the things that he got were military outfits, hard hats,
railroad spikes, and firefighter outfits.
one particular thing that got our attention was these fire retardant suits, not the regular yellow turn outs, but the shiny metallic clothing which included trouser (for some
reason they don't call them pants), coats, and helmets. these helmets have a big glass screen in the front and the material covers your entire head and shoulders.
we proceded to put 3 suits on and went to a major intersection of town.
Hanging out in the median, my buddy and my self preceeded to get into a sword/light saber fight.
As cars rolled by, we would wave at them, some of the cars would pull over and asks us the idiotic question. "What the hell are you doin?"
We kept giving the same bullshit response that we were bored. That is until the cops showed up. they told us that we were causing traffic probs and that we had to
stop.
They didn't ticket us or anything but we had to leave. so, we all piled in the back of my mini-van and proceeded our alien-selves to the nearest Wal-mart.
It is about 130 am and the employees were stalking and waxing the floors. We suit up and head inside. one of my friends jumps into a shopping cart and i pushed him
around the store, hauling ass, stopping every few isles to try on very large, womens langerie, play with the toys in the kids section, screw around in the sporting goods
section (unfortunately, all the firearms were locked up so we were denied access).
after about 20 minutes, the rent-a-cops showed up and asks us to go outside. they asks us to remove the outfits and mentioned that the cops were on the way.
Damn! they checked out our suits to see if we stole anything and the police shows about after 10 minutes passed. as luck would have it, it was the same cops who
busted us out on the median. We and the cops are already on a first-name-basis and we spend a good 10 minutes shootin-the-shit with the officers about how boring
it is to be here in this city. They didn't have anything on us so, once again they let us go. the really cool thing about it was, that we had 1 friend of ours who was
violating the cerfew law and they never checked his ID...thank god. so after this fiasco, we were told we can't comeback to wal-mart (oh no!!!) ever again.
after that, we pile back into my van and go to denny's in phoenix. have breakfast, then come home.
i wish i had pictures
