get organized...

file under: may the bridges burned, light the way

true story (from a dear friend, unedited):

"...a guy i played lacrosse with in college was a real clown. used to get drunk like everyone else, but he would look retarded...just naturally...when he drank to the point that people used to come up to the group of friends and scold us for "getting a retarded kid drunk". anyway, he used to do this bit where he would squat down and make it look like he was a midget. we would all hoot and holler because it was well done (not cliche) and was truly funny. piss your pants funny. after a few weeks of this he needed to keep it fresh so he added a part where he'd use his arm to make it look like he was hanging from a rope/noose. nice touch. well somehow this guy got a girlfriend (now wife...he was smart enough to know there was probably a chance he would never find another). one night he was getting into his role. he was on. he looks over, however, and his new girlfriend is crying. everyone is crying laughing and she's crying. he goes over and asks whats up? what happened? well, she says "my best friend growing up was a midget....and he hung himself." ..."

shit just tugs at your heart strings, don't it (!).
