Whoops

So, the other day I found myself hanging out with a couple of friends (lets call them The Lord of the Eastern Mountain and The Vampiric Undead)

Editor's note: Where do you find these people?

Anyway, we were bored and ended up at the local Disc Replay, where on a whim I decided to pick up what basically amounts to the best game ever.

Fuck yes

Excited to play my newly acquired interactive entertainment, The Lord, The Vampire and myself retired to my humble abode. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that my Sega Genesis had recently been the victim of a modding project went wrong. 

Damnit James you don't even play

guitar

The Lord posited a solution: He knew he had a Genesis from his childhood at his mother's house. We could go retrieve it, return to his apartment and play it there. We found this to be an outstanding idea and headed off. 

"Oh crap, that's Howard's car. I probably should have called to let her know were were coming over." Howard was the Lord's mother's current squeeze, and none of us had anticipated his presence that evening. "The Lord whipped out his cellphone and rang up her number. We waited patiently while it rang.Oh, nevermind. My Mom's car is gone and the lights are out. They probably went to dinner or something. I will give her a ring to let her know we swung by."

Then the bedroom light flicked on. 

"Oh, uh, hey Mom. We are at your house. Came to pick something up. Didn't know you had company. We will come back later." He paused. "Oh, uh, ok I guess. Sorry."

"What's going on?"

"She said she would come let us in. We just need to...give her a minute."

We waited patiently, and after about ten minutes the front door opened to reveal his mother, clad in a bathroom with her hair askew. Howard stood a little ways back down the hall, shuffling uncomfortably. The Lord muttered a greeting and hurried off to find his console. Silence stretched for a long while.

"So," The Vampire finally broke the silence. "That's a nice hallway."

And that, my friends, is the story of how I helped cockblock my friend's mother.
