project x

in the wee hours of the night about a week ago while visit friends at utah state, at long last project x finally returned. as could be expected many laughs and adventures were to be had but 1 encounter in particular i had never before experienced. after running past a girl on a cell phone i ran around a building to return to my place of seclusion. while running i spotted 2 mans and was inturn spotted but i failed to pay much attention. about to conceal myself again in the shadows i looked back and to my surprise these two mans had taken pursuit... hot pursuit as in sprinting. to make a long story short it was quite the chase. jumping fences and cars, hiding in shadows and at one point barreling full sprint into one of my pursuers i finally excaped and hid myself in a tree. foolish to hide in a tree? ... i know but i was tired. campus police were everywhere but eventually the madness cooled down and project x turned in for the night. it was awsome... i just thought you should know.

Jumping fences i understand, but jumping cars???? Mark, you know you can go around them and would probably be just as fast.

Were the two men pursuing you officers? You and I are on the same frequency Mark. I had a run in with the bulls this weekend aswell, with the resurrection of the white space suits, a role of caution tape, and krislin wessel tied up in saran wrap on the corner of one of the main drags. They told us we were retarded, claimed we could have caused a "catastrophe" and took our caution tape. Thankfully I still have the suits. It's just like freshman year, reporting on our plights, back and forth.

Dusty, did they really call you retarded? That's bad taste. You should have said you had a retarded brother and told them not to say that word.

yes matt, jumping cars... it had to be. dustin, i'm proud of you. the pursuers were not police offiers but instead student vigilantes taking the law into their own hands. campus police later showed up when i was hiding in a tree.

Yeah it was pretty funny. The pig said, "You guys are...(during this pause he was trying not to laugh)...Retarded!" He then added toward the end of his speech that he didn't mean to be "derrogitory." Though the idea of responding to his stupidity crossed my mind, listening to him talk himself in circles left him feeling more sheepish than if we had said anything. I was also hoping to keep the caution tape and suits.

Mark, that is fantastic. I still want to do the giant dome of tinfoil that we discussed 3 years ago, so that it can be picked up and set down with only naked legs exposed when it moves.

Possibly next weekend, my buddy is going to dress like a UPS delivery man and we are going door to door at girls' apartment complexes. I'm going to wear the alligator suit and explode out of the box into their apartment on hands and knees when they come to sign the "paper work."

to make things easy with the tinfoil dome try a box. thats what i did... worked great because you can find them anywhere (more especially for me cause i was working at gart sports at the time). make it big enough that you can hid inside if you want.

i still think more of a bell shape would be better, especially if you had a neon light in it with you so it lit up and looked like it was hovering when you walked.

Mark, I continue to fail to save your digits in my telephone when you call. You must just have really bad timing or something. Yes, it's your fault. But on the bright side, send me your digits that we may converse.
