Goodbye Nicholas

To our dearest friend,
It has come to our attention that you are leaving the fine state of Maryland for the back woods of New York this weekend. Normally we would be disappointed that you are leaving for the whole summer, but we have come to realize there is no better place for you than Deerfoot, where you can be with kindred spirits.. and by kindred spirits we mean other half-naked men prancing around the woods. But don't think we disapprove. Nothing may show our admiration for you quite like our following you into the depths of homoeroticism, as has regularly been demonstrated over the past several years. Fittingly, you can also maximize your ability to not shower at Deerfoot, although you will probably seize a couple opportunities to wash down your fellow woodsmen. Scrub time anyone? We'll leave that to our reader's imagination.

Though we have gotten used to your absence each summer, this time will be even more painful because Addy will have absolutely no one to hang out with with Rob and Paul gone.. and Rob will not see you until Winter Break most likely. In honor of your ability to make a list out of anything and everything.. here's one for you.

Things we will do to honor Nick's absence this summer:
1) Make snapping noises with random fingers.
2) Play sports awkwardly (see how much Addy has to sacrifice? true friendship)
3) Watch all seven seasons of Smallville.
4) Find a "friend" who live blogs during final exams and other important assessments.
5) Read the Bible, taking all of Jesus's words as your own.. and then promptly go to hell.
6) Attempt to sell our cars and not keep any of the money for ourselves. See what we did there? Ouch.
7) Come up with a name for our collective intelligence.
8) Continue to compulsively make lists.

Worst comes to worst, we can minimize the amount of time we have to pass by just sleeping away every day, missing any and all time committments. So it will really just be like you were never really gone at all..

<3
Mr. Fantastic and The Flash

P.S. Sorry in advance for neglecting you as fellow blogmates. We have set the over/under on this summer's Rob/Addy posts at 2. We are both willing to bet on the over.. at least willing enough to put our entire Centsports balance on the line.
