The Sedentary Adventures of Kellen and Scott
Our two heroes Kellen and Scott go on what may be their last adventure of semester, involving a little bit of sitting and a lot of laughing, as they participate in The Continuing Adventures of Scott and Lincoln [and Kellen].
This past Sunday morning, feeling rather ill, I didn’t feel like participating in any sort of adventure. Even Scott and Kellen weren’t looking for one, but they certainly didn’t pass one up when the chance came along. After the morning service, we headed to the Social Parlor, intending to sleep in the big giant chairs until we could get into lunch. So down I sat and drifted off to sleep. “Bang, bang, bang . . . he he he,” I heard. I roused a little and went back to sleep. “Bang, bang, bang . . . He He He,” I heard. I roused a little more but tried to go back to sleep again. “Bang, bang, bang . . . HE HE HE HE HE,” I heard. I woke up and investigated.
Down on the lower level of the Social Parlor, in front of our big giant chairs, are two pairs of glass double doors, through which disgustingly infatuated couple enter to go stare at each other upstairs. One pair of those double doors was locked. So to the door would come a disgustingly infatuated couple. They would pause, the disgustingly infatuated guy would attempt to open the door, and “Bang, bang, bang” was the sound of door refusing to open. “He he he” was the sound of our sedentary adventurers Kellen and Scott laughing at their plight. Seeing the fun that could be had, we sat in our big giant chairs and waited in ambush. Along comes a disgustingly infatuated couple. Look, their turning to come into the Social Parlor. Yes, go for those doors. He attempts to open them, and “Bang, bang, bang.” He he he he . . .

Wow. Do I sense some hostility toward those that are in love? “disgustingly infatuated couple” You said it, not me. Wait. How “disgustingly infatuated” can you be with someone at BJ all you can do is like stare at each other…(which would be wrong…I think) AND…come on guys…you went to the social parlor to sleep…take the opportunity to find some girls…it would’ve been according to you…your “last adventure of semester” again, Im stating you here.

I had some similar fun in college once.
Imagine with me if you will a mid winter’s day—frigid, windy, and feet of fresh snow. As I sat in the cafe with some fellow frazzled seniors (exams, papers, tough professors on our clinical rotations, thoughts of resumes and job interviews) we were able to look out the big floor-to-ceiling window right next to our table. Before too long we were absorbed in watching the perilous trek of numerous students across what every student on campus knew to be a short cut across the lawn to the cafe. What these particular students did not realize (until it was too late!) was that the fresh snow concealed a nasty patch of ice on the frozen dirt below. The pitch of the ground in that spot added to the hazard and we absolutely howled from our window seats as student after student quickly (students do everything quickly) approached and then attempted to traverse the familiar shortcut, only to become victims of cruel gravity. We were about to tear pages out of our notebooks to begin scoring (9.2;8.7;10.0) the dramatic tumbles of our colleagues when an older, wiser, more mature (grown-up) student from another table forcefully communicated her utter disgust at our behavior.
We were appropriately ashamed and talked of heading out into the frozen winter day to warn our comrades, but by then it was time for our next class and we were dutifully on our way.
Hmmm, a group of nursing students nearing the end of four very long years of education, and this is the extent of our compassion? Yes, we were tired…yes, we were obviously mentally compromised…but there is still no excuse.
I’m thankful to read that no fellow students could have been injured in the having of your fun, dear gentlemen. You are, as usual, examples for the children.

He he he. Funny story. We three wouldn’t have been ashamed if we were there with you. :-)

That’s hilarious. Hey, if I wipe out on the ice, I just hope someone’s around to enjoy it. At least one of us should be happy.

Well, my comment: how about something intellectually rewarding, academically stimulating, spiritually edifying, politically informative, Biblically fundamental, socially compassionate, culturally acceptable, historically meaningful, futuristicly insightful and prophetic, in other words, just a little something funny, interesting, and understandable on our blogsite or whatever you call it!?
