My play date with Aaron Irvine

For all of you who don't know Aaron, we worked together at Blockbuster back in the Sault and now he lives in the GTA (by Canada's Wonderland). So we discuss going to see Nacho Libre one day. That day was today. However, the movie viewing was not all that was on the agenda for today.

We met around 4 at the Colossus Theater to start our day of activities. We went in to check out when the movie started so we knew how much time we had for our activities. Our first stop was at IKEA or as I refer to it, DO IT YOUR DAMN SELF store. All we had to pick up was a pepper grinder, and it seemed quiet easy of a task and it was. However there was a few things we witnessed during our visit. The first being the fatty's eating their gross hot dogs while sitting on display furniture outside. Like I understand its nice out, I also understand that you may not want to eat in your car, but really putting your fat sweaty ass on the display patio furniture is like saying "You broke it, so you must buy it". Cuz really who wants those things after your ass sweat has lacquered the wood? So we are inside the store and not once, not twice, but three times were we totally just cut off by other customers. This only being only a few seconds into the store. But we bit our tongues and continued with our shopping. We found what we were looking for and brought it to our nice teenage cashier. It was here that made us both laugh cuz I understand that IKEA is keen on doing it yourself but the way our transaction went through seemed a little awkward. See, our cashier scanned the grinder, she took aaron's cash but it was the next step she fell short on. After the receipt printed she grabbed the grinder, looked at us oddly and then strangly places the item on another counter right beside the bags. As she starts with the next customer, we look at each other slightly caught off guard on what was just witnessed, grab a bag for ourselves and leave. You see, neither of us quite knew about that stage of checking out but whatever, we laughed about it and carried on.

Our next stop was Dave and Busters. If you've never been to one before it's basically a Chuck E. Cheese for big kids but still the same fun toys. We play a couple of games until we come across a shooting game. Ghost Squad is the name, and your given these big ass machine guns to play with. Oh but that wasn't the only fun to be had with this game. As we were selecting our character I noticed I could change my outfit. I pick something I find quite fun. Aaron noticing my funny character looks for one himself. Our results are of this:

Although you can't get a good idea of the true humour that we experienced the game cinematics looked like if you took this:


and mixed it to each one of these:


This and adding the fact that we shot hostages and our own men and we were rolling. The day continue with us making fun of people, collecting tickets from playing games and oh did I mention making fun of people. After we ran out of "credits" we cashed in our tickets for points in their "prize shop" or Area of Useless Crap That You Don't Really Need But Will Take Because You Can. But prize shop is shorter and doesn't need as much Neon signing. Anywho, while looking at the crap, I mean prizes we notice some Care Bears. Now I can't say I remember Thanks a Lot bear but there it was. What kind of shitty name is that. "Ya, Thanks a lot Bear!" (in the most disgustingly sarcastic voice). So we grab some crap and stand at the check out counter only to have some halfwit retard stand with her back to us. We waited til she was done pickin her nose or thinking about how many boys she will never kiss and she finally scanned our items through. Onto our next stop!

Boston Pizza was our choice for dinner. Yet oddly enough neither of us had pizza. I know, "You went to a pizza place and didn't get pizza?" Yes that's correct. And as Aaron pointed out "I didn't know Boston was known for their pizza" which deterred me from eating pizza from here. As we entered the joint, the hostess asked us if we were over 19. Given the correct answer we were escorted to another section of the restaurant. I'm thinking "There's an adult section to this place?" and I'm totally puzzled as to where she's taking us. It's a more secluded, less family section. That's cool. Sports are playing on TV's, its not busy therefore faster service, it's all good. After our waitress takes our order, we both notice that she totally just eye fucked the shit out of aaron. We were laughing our asses off at what we just witnessed. It was so obviously done, like she wanted to be noticed. She was even bring us our pop refills, just as we were taking our last slurps from the current one. Almost as though she was watching and waiting for her next opportunity to come to our table. As we are enjoying our meals, I couldn't help but notice that some mentally challenged boys are playing pool. That is not the problem. The problem came when they took the basketballs out of the hoop game and one was continuously bouncing his. Now really...? Who's going to ask them to stop? But then the other two join in the festivities and bounce their at different speeds and god just shoot them and let me enjoy my meal. Joe, sorry to rip this from you but. Kudos boys, for irratating the shit outta me during my meal.


It was now onto the movie, but oh shit!!!!! We lost track of time and we missed both of the early shows. Next show was at 10:10, which was about 2 hours away. What the hell are we to do? Bing! Find another theater. So after going to two other theaters we find it and a little theater and it was just about to start. Again we get another dumbass cashier that spills all of her coins all over the place but we are in and life is good. The movie is funny. If you like Napoleon Dynamite you will like this movie. Jack Black is the star of this movie, with a good support cast, played by his eyebrows, his facial expressions and body movement. Also the flick is filled with plenty of good quotes that will be repeated, i'm sure, for many days to come. Some of these said quotes are as follows:
(All quotes to be said in a bad mexican accent)
"Do you remember when everyone was shouting my name, and I used my strength to rip my blouse";
and "I'm not halistening to ju no more; Ju're CRAZAY"
Just to name a couple.
With the closing credits, as did too, our play date, he drove me back to my car where we parted our ways, and left with only fond memories of the day. So Air, to you I say Thank You for my EAGLE POWERS! NAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
