Old School
Old school. When I hear those words it brings to mind images of stuff from the 70's - you know, afros, high top canvas Converses, Boston - old school stuff.
Cell phone boy has an old school streak in him. He has always been a whistler. Lately he has been whistling "Candy Man" and "Sweet Caroline" (yes, Neil Diamond). If I had to describe him, I would say, "Adam Sandler at 14."
Saturday several boys were hanging at the frat house while the snow was falling outside, biding time until the winter formal. They were taking a lunch break from their search and destroy game on one of the gaming systems. I was in the kitchen also and heard the following:
Cell phone boy: "Let's go old school after lunch."
My ears perk up and my mind wants to move to imagining things like board games or Pong. But before my mind can wander it is moved to a state of shock and confusion.
"Let's play Halo 2!"
Halo 2?? Wait, didn't Halo 3 just come out this year? I'm not really up on the gaming stuff, but I know we have owned it less than six months. You are kidding me, right?
I am wise enough to say nothing. I know they don't really think I am cool (although I am), but no need in driving home the perception by pointing out what old school really is about!
Halo 2 - puuuleeeze!
