If you'll be so kind as to knock down those cobwebs to your right.... yes thank you, we can begin now.
Long long ago, A-team decided to have a theme night centered around a movie. The movie was a very special movie indeed, one near and dear to A-teams heart before we ever set eyes on it.
So we all got dressed up in our best mobster attire, and assembled in A-team house for good food and a movie. The most amazing part of the night wasn't the movie, though it was absolutely beautiful. The most amazing part was that during the movie, which is a long, long time, we all shut up. No witty comments, no snide sarcastic asides. A-team was honestly able to sit their asses down and shut their goddamn mouths. For more than an hour even! It would bring tears to our eyes if we weren't stone-cold bad asses. And now, on to the pictures!Okay, for some reason vox is rejecting pictures that do not have Heather Andrew and Alex in them. I will attempt to remedy this later. You win this round vox! ::shakes fist:: For now you'll have to satisfy yourself wondering at the... reverence in Andrew's face as he gazes upon his next meal.
and none of it would qualify for internet porn.
Our story begins with a man named Elliott. While cruising the cybernetic highways and byways Elliott managed to stumble upon the find of a lifetime. This object glowed with promise and power in a way only an object displayed on a backlit screen could. The purchase was Ten dollars, a few weeks later and Elliott was finally able to hold his purchase in his own hands. What did he buy, you ask? Only one of the most ingenious inventions concocted within our lifetime. Oh yes my friends, I speak of.... powdered lubricant. Eight to ten GALLONS worth of powdered lubricant.
Once we had the lubricant the path before us became very clear. Lube reduces friction. Aside from making people fall down, what's the second most fun thing to do with reducing friction? That's right. Lube Slip-n-Slide. We got ourselves a 30-foot tarp, called up our friends, and mixed up a great big pot of lube. ( On a quick side note. When mixing up powdered lube in a honking-big pot, expect the powder to form slimy little lumps on the top. We affectionately christened these lumps "Lube Boogers" because we're that classy.)
Our first run on the lube-slide was awesome, much fun was had by all. At one point a man wondered up and said "Y'all some geniuses." We know, random passer-by, we know. But we appreciate your approval. The only problem with the first run was that your humble stenographer didn't bring a camera, and was unable to document the wonder of the slide.
There was only one thing to do.
So we laid the tarp back down, invited more of our friends over, mixed up a bigger pot of lube, and borrowed a nicey-nice camera from the lovely people over at the DMC. Before I hand you over to the pictures, which really do a great job of telling the story all by themselves, I would like to share with you a few nuggets of wisdom we picked up along the way. Just in case, you know, you decide to try it for yourself.
1. Bring water to keep the tarp slick after the lube starts to dry a little.
2. While going down like a streak of lightning is fun, you will end up flying face first into the grass, which will scratch you up like a cat on crack.
3.Adding soap to the lube will increase your speed momentarily. However, not only will this increase the appearance of cat-on-crack attack, it will itch unbearably about ten minutes after you do it.
4. It will not hurt... until the next day when you wake up feeling like a Mack truck ran over you in the night.
5.Any pictures taken of you during the sliding will be incredibly unflattering... unless you're Ben and somehow manage to look like something out of the matrix in every.damn.picture.
6. No matter how conservatively you're dressed ( and clothes=friction so less is more) you will feel dirty slopping warm lubricant onto your body.
Allright then, enough! On with the pictures! By the way Elliott has a bigger, better collection of pictures on his facebook because he has a cord that can read XD cards and I don't :(
There's a lovely cric not too far from where we are. (If you don't know what a cric is, it's bigger than a brook, smaller than a river.) So we decided to travel there one Sunday afternoon. (Or last Sunday afternoon, if you must be a dick about it.) This cric is big enough to make deep holes of clear water, thus its given name.
Our decidedly straight boys bond in a decidedly gay way, on the walk to the cric.
The first one to jump off a big rock into deep water was Jason
Whether this shot is a trick of the photography, or Elliott was really a half-second away from taking a Jason to the back of the head, I'll let you be the judge.
Unable to let himself be out-manned by Jason, Nathan takes the plunge...
And then all the guys make bear sounds at each other
And then I have to try
I discover that the water is indeed, butt-cold. Meanwhile Jared does...this...thing
Later we had a photo shoot in a patch of pristine forest. All pictures came out blurry and too dark, but this one is worth posting:
This semester, as you may or may not know, A-Team saw one of its members off to Japan. Caleb's absence has left a hole, so to say. A hole that has been filled by Groucho Penis.
Groucho came to us as a gift from one of Jon's mysterious ninja contacts. And even though he was quite glorious in his original state, he still looked somewhat...naked. This situation was quickly remedied.
And let's be honest here, what else can you name a penis with a stick-on mustache other than Groucho Penis?
Groucho still looked a bit incomplete though. So an outfit was quickly assembled. The result was a portly looking blues brother. Our lovely model Elliot demonstrates below.
Did you ever have that friend in high school? He was classless, opinionated, loud, crude...and yet he still managed to have more fun than anybody else in the room. Imagine that guy went to college and met other that guys. Imagine he formed a group. That group is A-team.
This blog is to be a chronicling of the A-team adventures. I am your guide, Foxy Sam. All posts will be written by me unless otherwise indicated.
On our next episode of A-team: We introduce you to a very special person...Groucho Penis
