I got there late, and found that Bosda was already there. He apologized at the outset for any untoward behaviour he might have and explained that he was taking a combination of Cipro and decongestants and they were having some strange effects on him.
He and I sat around discussing politics, weapons technology, 9/11, while we waited for the others to arrive. drewbert was the next and last person to arrive, and that’s when thing’s really got interesting.
Bosda and drewbert began discussing the movie Signs, with Bosda taking the view that the movie was really an allegorical story proving the non-existance of God, while drewbert claimed that the film was a call for the rise of Fascism in America.
After Bosda stated that the proof his interpretation of the film was right based on the writings of Isaac Asimov and his pieces on how difficult it would be for life to evolve under conditions vastly different than those found here on Earth, drewbert, slammed Bosda to the table and began punctuating his rebuttals by jamming a ketchup laden french fry into Bosda’s eye. The next thing I know, Bosda’s throwing white powder in drewbert’s face and screaming, “It’s anthrax!”
drewbert falls backwards and begins clawing at his face. Meanwhile, Bosda’s leaping about, throwing powder around and yelling, “I’m immune! You’re gonna die!”
As the panicked patrons scrambled for the exits, Bosda ripped down the scale model of the B-52 hanging above our table (which begs the question, “What’s a model B-52 doing in a sports bar?”) and began to trash the place with it. Hearing the police sirens in the distance, Bosda smashed the front window with the model and leaps through it with our waitress’s spleen clenched firmly in his teeth, gibbering madly.
drewbert and I spent the next hour being decontaminated and giving statements to the police. Sadly, there’s no pictures of the event as drewbert’s camera was confiscated by the police as they needed the photos of Bosda for identification and evidence.
What? You don’t believe me? Well, then, you should have been there!
