AWKWARD ZOMBIE

This thread makes me a very pop flyin' Mander.

I look forward to tomorrow.

Story Extravaganza 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Seeing as I'm feeling good and generally pop flyin', I'll give you a shorter story before I go to bed.

Chapter 2: This is getting expensive

So after the hell ride I had to lay my beloved iPod Touch to rest. Water damage had caused the wifi to stop working and battery life to become rather abysmal. I gave it to Tori so she could play Resident Evil 4 and set out to find myself another iPod. Now see the second generation of iTouch had just come out and the third was looming on the horizon, but I managed to talk my boss at work into selling me his old first gen after he got his second-gen. I scored this for the measely sum of $150 USD. I was a pop flyin' guy again.

Let me explain: I love my iTouch. I use it for everything. At work and school I have wifi across the campus, and I use it to check email and schedules, websites, calendars, etc. It's honestly gotten to the point where I can't stand going somewhere without it. This has been cemented by the fact that I can play Pokemon on it now, but again, another story.

But I had gotten a new jacket, a new iPod, and I was running around on the town. I rode down to the big motorcycle shop a few miles away from where I work to look for a pair of gloves. It was going to be hitting winter soon and I"ll be damned if my summer gloves would cut it. I end up going in and buying a pretty nice pair. But as I'm checking out, I see something insanely cheap that I've wanted for quite a while. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, a set of helmet speakers.

Now, it's illegal to have these things in when you're riding, but they're selling them right here for some reason so I say "What the hell" and buy a set. Very cheap compared to other prices I've seen. Because trust me, riding with headphones in is not very comfortable on the ears.

So I walk out to my bike with my new saddlebags and new rain gear (after last time's fiasco) and set to work opening the package on my new speakers. I get them run through my jacket and plugged in and set up. I run the cord through my jacket and into my pocket where my iPod is sitting. Now here's where I fucked up the first time. iPod should not go in outer pocket. But I'd had no trouble before, so I figured, why not.

I hit the interstate to ride a couple of miles back to work. I'm jamming to Alice in Chains and generally feeling like a pretty big badass when all of a sudden I feel a *tug* *tug* *Fwoosh*. Now naturally I was watching the road so I was wondering what the hell just happened. It was around this time that I realized that my music had stopped playing. My heart sank a bit as I kept riding, knowing full well if anything had fallen out of my pocket at 70MPH, it was gonna eat some asphalt. I reach towards my pocket and feel a familiar shape, so I keep going, a little relieved.

Now as I got closer to work, I stopped and checked on the iPod. Only the shape I felt wasn't my iPod, it was my phone. I was devastated. I'd had the new one for only a couple of weeks and now it's gone too. That's the second iPod my bike has claimed from me. I guess Honda isn't a big fan of Apple products, I don't know.

Regardless, I go to work, spread my tale, and let the coworkers laugh at me and pity me a little bit. I was feeling down for a couple of days because, lets face it, that's a lot of cheddar to just go and fly out of your coat pocket. Well, I got cheered up real quick.

Torizo skype-called me the day after this happened and was sitting in a restaraunt with her cousin (Hakujin) and a few other people. Well we were talking and I told them about what happened and they felt bad and whatnot. Now see I had my buddy Ben with me in the room and my mic wasn't working so they couldn't hear what we were saying. Well I got a great idea and we both went into hysterics and they were wondering what was so daisies funny. I told Tori to turn the laptop towards Haku, and as soon as I saw his face, I stood up and proceeded to unzip my pants right in front of the camera (Didn't drop trou or nothing, just unzipped) to see the laptop lid on Tori's laptop slam shut and hear Jack cursing up a storm. Ben and I rolled for a good 10 minutes and i'm giggling now just typing this. I felt much better.

I got a text message about an hour later from Jack that read, simply, "You a bitch"

:clap: :clap: :clap:

your motorcycle is jealous of the attention you give your ipod

This story is slightly less manly but entertaining nonetheless.

Think of this as an interlude for the awesome story i'll post tomorrow.

tl;dr

you're missing out

I'm talking to Jack on AIM.

Hakujin1337: I remember that, not very fondly, but I do.

I suppose it's all in good fun, but the fact that you were whipping it out while I was sitting in a crowded coffee shop was... startling.

People would flock from the far corners of the earth to witness what you almost saw.

Tori would beat them all back though

Hell yes I would.

Good thing you don't know about the cameras I hid in your toil-GODDAMMIT
