H: Do you have any hair on your back?
C: No, but I have a mean patch on my chest. Do you wanna see?
H: No thanks. Tell everyone about your roommates, any good
stories?
C: I walked up the stairs once when my roommate, Shelly, was
changing. Her door was cracked open a bit, only she doesn't
know that I saw her.
H: I guess she does now.
C: Yeah, I guess so. You probably shouldn't put any of this
in the interview.
H: Oh, yeah, I won't (snicker). How many butt zits do you
have?
C: More than you want to know.
In walks Shelly.
H: So Shelly, tell us about your roommate Chris? You know
a story that not everyone should know.
S: Let's see, this past New Years, driving South Shore 3 minutes
before midnight, Chris had me pullover and right as it struck
midnight Chris started puking out the side of my car.
H: So Chris, where do you work?
C: The snowboard shop at Boreal.
S: Chris is spoiled, he gets to work inside, play pool, play
fooseball, play video games and eat candy from the candy machines
while I freeze my butt off working outside loading people
on a chairlift.
H: What do you think of when you think of Chris Haggin.
S: Snowboarding, music, pot, and girls. But not necessarily
in that order. Don't forget to mention that no matter what
you are doing, Chris Lags!!!
H: Hey, Chris, I heard you are a chick magnet?
C: What do you mean?
S: C'mon Chris, you remember my friend Christine.
C: (chuckling) Oh, yeah, that girl who came up for New Years,
got drunk and was all over me, then threw up on my sleeve
and passed out.
H: Niiiccceee. Do you two have any statements in parting?
C: To all of the people who get dressed up in their snowboard
clothes and hang out by the lifts: Go back to Sac!
S: To all the pro-ho girls who dress up in their fancy clothes
to hang out at contests and try to impress guys: Stay home!
