Last Night

When we were driving down Whittier Blvd last night, on our way to a bar, out of the corner of my eye I saw a spider dangling on a thread of web right in front of my face, and slowly lowering itself down toward my body, swaying with each movement of the car.

I damn near shit my pants. I was like, “Oh, my, god, guys, spider, in my face!”

“Oh! I can see it!” exclaimed Verne.

And then I started to swerve across the road because I had no idea what to do and nothing to grab with it.

Then Mike said, “Shit! He’s terrified of spiders!” Then reached out and grabbed it with his bare hands as if in slow motion.

Mike already knows it, but he saved everyone’s life right then.

Then everything was OK and we went to a bar and I got drunk and Kristy and Jonas showed up and then Nick showed up and we played pool and then the alcohol wore off and we drove home it was pretty cool.
