New Card Game

So tonight I actually hung out with some of my friends. Suprise, right? haha. Anyhow...it was about 10pm and it was just me and my friend Bobby sitting at McAlister's. Some of our other friends had gone to see a movie. So we are sitting there and we decide to go on an adventure...but not just any adventure...a card game adventure.

We hopped in my car...no gps...no maps...no nothing. The only thing we had was a deck of cards and the soundtrack to Across the Universe. So we made up a card game. It goes as follows....

Black cards mean Right...Red cards mean Left. So if you drew a red you would know to turn left. If you drew a black you would then proceed to turn right. And so on and so forth. So how do you know WHEN to turn? Well the number on the first card minus the number of another card you drew. Unless the second card was higher then you would subtract the other card from the higher one. This would tell you how many exits (if you were on the interstate) or how many lights to go.

For example...say I drew a Red Jack...that would be left 11....then I would draw another card...say that card was a 5....then its 11 minus 5....so thats 6. I would know to turn left after the next 6 lights. The color of the second card drawn means nothing.

So those are the rules of our made up card traveling game....the funny thing is...it lead to some WEIRD crap.

First...we ended up on 65-N towards Nashville. We got off at Harding Pl. and had to immediately turn right. We ended up in some weird random neighborhood. Strange thing is...we got to a dead end so I pulled into a house to turn around and guess what!!!! It was a house that both me and Bobby had been at before!!! It was soooooo random and weird. I had gone there when I was on a ride along with a sheriff for my criminal justice class. The burglary alarm went off and so we went to that exact random house! Bobby had used that house to turn his car around in before. CREEPY EH???

Then we made a couple more turns and ended up on Franklin Pk. We are driving then 2 deer run across the road in front of us!!! Not in front of the car or anything. It seemed like they were putting on a show of some sort. So that creeped us out even more. Random houses...now random deer. The cards must have magical powers or something.

And so then we continue down towards Franklin Pk...and we see Nashville up ahead. We had gone the back roads to Nashville it seemed.

We make another more turns and end up in front of this random statue. I don't really think anything of it until Bobby yells out, "I know where we are! This is Gay St!"

I couldn't stop laughing for so long. Me and Bobby ended up on Gay St. HA! So then we drive some more, following the cards...and guess what we pass.

We passed Play (a gay club we had been talking about just an hour or so beforehand) we passed the Hustler store, we passed another club we had been talking about. It was crazy!!!!

Then we found the interstate and decided to head home but can you believe it. We had the weirdest night....

a. a house we both had been to before
b. crazy deer (and when we passed them a song on the cd said, Dear Prudence....Dear....Deer!!!! Get it)
c. Gay St.
d. Play and the Hustler Store

CRAZY NIGHT!!!!!!!!

p.s. I recommend this crazy card game to anyone. Great way to explore...and experience craziness.
