Um, Roar
Walking With Dinosaurs featured roaring. Lots of roaring.The dinosaurs were very impressive, and the T-Rex was magnificent, but by the time the show ended, I was shaking hands with deafness.
Deafness said something to me, but of course I couldn't hear.
In the seats directly in front us, there was this little kid with some kind of filament toy they sold at the arena. The toy had many, many different settings, based on what I saw looking around the arena, but only one setting mattered to the kid in front of us: strobe.
That's right. Strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe.
Strobe.
This always happens. "That guy" or "that kid" or "that drunk" or "that guy with the gun" always sits right in front of me.
There were only two other toys set to strobe in the ENTIRE ARENA (small arena, and they had part of it blocked off). The odds that this kid would sit directly in front of us were incredibly small--much less than one percent.
That's why they call me The One Percent Man.
There was also The Kid Who Can Only Say One Thing sitting next to us on the right. You know this kid--he's about ten years old, and for a few weeks, he just says the same phrase over and over again. In fact, for that short period of time, he never says anything else.
This kid said "YO YO YO!"
Let me try to recreate this for you:
Strobe strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO!strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO! strobe strobe strobe strobe YO YO YO!
I am quite tired. Roar.
