Icehouse & Sonic
At first glance, this post could possibly be about Sonic the Hedgehog getting a little tipsy. But, there is a dead give away that tells you that I am not talking about my favorite Sega character drinking—he wouldn't drink Icehouse. First of all, Tails would be very upset if he had to drink Icehouse with Sonic, Tails would say, "I help you pick up all those stupid coins and you buy a thirty pack for $10.99. I mean seriously, I'm a fox."
No, no, I had a different type of encounter with Sonic last night; I was his master and controller. I went to lake Okoboji to go ice fishing and we stayed at a friend's house, right on the lake. I had a great time going back and forth from the little icehouse to the real house--walking on water!! But that's not where I ran into Sonic. I found out that one of the TV's in the house had a Sega hooked up to it, and instantly, I was soon hooked up to the Sega. I played Sonic the Hedgehog for hours, sometimes with others, sometimes by myself, but I didn't care. I was reliving my junior high years, completing levels like "Hill Top" & "Casino Night", and remembering to free all the little cute animals at the end of each level.
Yes, of course the ice fishing was neat. It was my first time walking on a frozen lake and cramming in an icehouse with 15 guys. But come-on, what would you do? Would you step down to Mr. Robotnik?

I thought the post was going to be about clubbing and 50's-era fast food...
Did you catch anything?
I too thought the post would be about getting your freak on with people like Bill Mandek while juggling glowsticks. Its Club Fusion now though, Tuesday night is girls get in free. I prefer The Pompeii Room.
Sonic is a good game, but Donkey Kong is the best game. Mostly cause you get to ride a rhino and when he attacks he goes "MMMRRUUHHH!"
"Nail in the coffin!!!"
"He's on FIRE!!!"
