So what should be on the screen but _Flash Gordon_! ---

So I had fun snarking at the screen. ---

But a bunch of large, muscular gay bikers from the Sam J. Jones Fan Club were there, and none too pleased that I was mocking their idol. ---

So I invoked the ghost of Freddie Mercury, and while they were worshiping it, I fled out the back. ---
**Author:** ![astorian](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/a/ad7895/32.png) [@astorian](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/astorian)\ **Post date:** [August 13, 2013, 4:02pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656/226 "2013-08-13T16:02:42Z")
But the back alley was filled with Salvation Army reps, who assumed I was homeless, dragged me to their shelter, and gave me a cup of pea soup. ---

So, since I really had to go, I turned the pea soup into pee soup. ---
**Author:** ![Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/e/7cd45c/32.png) [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Elendil_s_Heir)\ **Post date:** [August 14, 2013, 2:13am UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656/228 "2013-08-14T02:13:11Z")
But nobody wanted to see me pea, I mean pee, green. ---

So I snuck off and used one of the Salvation Army Christmas buckets. ---

But the place I picked wasn’t as private as I thought and I was arrested for indecent exposure. ---

So, since I needed a lawyer, I called that gabby lady with the big hat who does late night ads saying “Call me if you’re picked up for DWI.” ---
**Author:** ![Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/e/7cd45c/32.png) [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Elendil_s_Heir)\ **Post date:** [August 14, 2013, 5:41pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-but/663656/232 "2013-08-14T17:41:06Z")
But it turned out she was really a dude, and wanted both a retainer of $1 million and to be called “Sebastian.” ---

So I ended up in a jail cell, with a person named Moose ---

But as it turned out, Moose had been tunneling under the cell floor for months, and we escaped together, coming up through a manhole next to a White Castle. ---

So we mugged a guy and bought some sliders. ---

But we got hit with a major gas/burping fit 30 minutes later. ---

So we mugged a guy for some Gas-Ex. ---

But the guy didn’t have any money- just $50 worth of iTunes gift cards. ---

So we went online, bought a shitload of Justin Bieber songs and immediately regretted it. ---
