Oh man, this reminds me of a more unfortunate social bluster of mine.
Like 18 months ago, I’m going through a training school. Have a couple good buddies in the class, to include Matt. Everyone knows Matt, because he is 6”8’. Hard guy to miss in a room.
We have a big test that everyone’s nervous for, I’m going to take a leak before the test starts. Using the urinal, Matt walks up and starts to pee next to me. As a joke I just go “hey man, nice dick.” Oddly, Matt doesn’t respond, he would normally laugh at something like that and respond with some type of homoerotic remark. It’s a known fact that I am a comedy genius, so he must just be nervous for the test.
Whatever, joke didn’t land, I go wash my hands when I look back at Matt, and come to the HORRIBLE realization that the guy next to me is in fact not Matt, just some random other freakishly tall guy who is absolutely refusing to break eye contact with the wall in front of him.
I left without saying a word, walked up to actual Matt in the classroom and yelled at him for not being in the bathroom lol. Never saw that other freakishly tall guy again, but I like to imagine that he thinks of me often
We love doing “flashback” movie night. Last year, we had a running list of 80s and 90s movies to rewatch or watch for the first time. We got through about half the list and then lost the paper it was written on!
It was fun to finally see iconic 80s movies that I’d heard of for so many years: Risky Business, Fatal Attraction, Die Hard!
And I got Chris to watch my ultimate favorite 90s movies that somehow slipped past him.
So if anyone has recommendations, we’ll start a new list.
The Breakfast Club and St. Elmos Fire are classic 80s movies that often get overlooked for the more family-based, childhood nostalgia, comedy, or action-y ones. Definitely add them in!
