Summer Blockbuster (Part 3)

If you have read any of the recent posts then you will already be aware of the fact that we are doing a story comic for the duration of 4 weeks. This is a new thing for us and hopefully it will work as well as we hope. I am actually very pleased with both the writing and the art thus far. It was astonishing how fast Nathan and I were able to write these. I think the main reason was that we were writing in person rather than over the phone. This will hopefully improve the quality of the writing as well, we will have to see. Be sure to let us know what you like or dislike about this new format. It my help us when considering new installments. My stay at Nathan’s wasn’t all fluffy goodness however, as I shall elaborate on now.

Recently I was the victim of a nasty trick that cost me a portion of my dignity. I was boarding a train scheduled to take me home when I unknowingly walked right into a trap. Earlier that day, Nathan had burned me a disk of music seeing as I do not have an iTunes account yet and I was freeloading off him. Anyway, little did I know that he labeled the disk “Noah’s Porn.” I was, of course to busy making sure I had all my stuff to look at the disk closely. Foolishly, I assumed that Nathan, being my friend would never think of committing such a crime. The train was packed and to my annoyance all of the oversize baggage places were taken up by people who were to lazy to check baggage properly (me included). I had to hunt for a place to store my luggage. Eventually I returned to my seat to find out that I was in one of those seats that faced towards each other. This left me open to the trap Nathan set for me hours before. Foolishly, I decided to remove a bunch of objects from my bag in an effort to find my iPod more easily. Whistling nonchalantly, I placed the “Noah’s Porn” disc on my seat for all to see. I first knew something was astray when the women next to me shot me a funny look and moved as far as she could from me as was physically possible. Yet I still did not realize what the source of this behavior was. At first I thought that it was that I smelled, but I soon came to my senses and dismissed that idea because, damn I smelled good (if I don’t say so myself). Then the word “porn” floated into my peripheral vision. Oh shit! I grabbed that god forsaken disc of good music and placed in my backpack with a deep sigh. After I got home and used the disk I decided to throw it out so that I could avoid an embarrassing moment that’s inevitable with a disk like that lying around. In retrospect i should have just crossed the name out. Oh well.

    I was laughing so hard as I edited this that I thought I was going to die. This worked out far more amazingly than I could have ever possibly planned. You weren’t even supposed to leave the house without noticing it.

    It was meant to be just a joke that he would see right away. I figured he would discover it later . . . just not in such an incredibly embarrassing, public manner.
