[failures]

[Some of you might have been wondering what happened to that idiot who willingly looked into a Shedinja's back a couple weeks ago. Well today you'll be getting your answer.

Larry actually looks a bit different today. For starters, his hair is uncharacteristically not spiky. Actually, he looks like he just got out of a shower or something. That's pretty much the case. He looks a little guilty, and takes a few moments to actually say something.]

Funny story you guys, I was at the spa and I realized I never actually let everyone know I was alright. I figured I better do it now or I'll forget again.

Making it official. I'm good! A-okay! Sorry for making you worry and...stuff.

[He laughs awkwardly, and goes silent for another second or two. Yeah, that was a huge moment of fail and he knows it.]

So yeah, for all you newbies out there, if you ever see a Shedinja, do not look into its back. Trust me, you'll be thankin' me for that one. And if you don't know what a Shedinja is? Good. You don't want to know.

This spa is making up for the past few weeks. It's no Goldenrod, but whatever.

[There's a short bout of silence on Larry's end.]

I know I said it before, but I'm still sorry about the whole Shedinja thing.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

It's okay, Larry. Really. Just don't do that again. Finding you in a coma was not pleasant.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, there's no way I would go within a hundred feet of one of those things now.

[He smiles.] I'm really glad you were there.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Good.

Yeah, you kind of would have been out of luck, all things considered.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeah.

[He stares up at the ceiling of their room for a minute.] So what are your plans from here on?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well there is the Joy at the Pokemon center, what up?

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

[Larry can't help but laugh.] How would that make now? You're startin' to make me jealous!

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Five. Five Joys. Cherrygrove, Violet, Goldenrod, Olivine, and Ecruteak. I'm on a roll.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

No kidding! You'll have 'em all in no time! [... It's like collecting Pokémon, but with Joys.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Yup, and then it's onto the Jennys.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

That should be interesting. They seem a little crazier than the Joys.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well, you know, the crazier they are, the hotter they are. Besides, they're nothing compared to some of the girls I've gone out with.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? [Now this should be good.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, I've totally worked this out. A girl is allowed to be crazy as long as she is equally hot. The hotter they are, the crazier they are.

[Here Larry, have an explanation that is similar to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zADosF3XoQ)]

Oh god that video

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Huh. [Then he thinks about this.] You know what, Barney? I think you're onto something there. A lot of my past girlfriends worked like that too.

i know, right?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

See, it totally works. Thankfully, I've found a way of catching on to which ones are crazy. It's the eyes.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Yeah? That makes sense, actually.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Doesn't it? My buddy back home, Ted, totally backs me up on the crazy-eyes theory. The things we've seen.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

What's the worst you've seen? [Tonight is a stories kind of night.]

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Well, there was Shelly Galezpie, who has her own section on the hot-crazy scale. She lost twenty pounds and tried to kill me with a brick. There were some other girls to, like this one chick I dated who I'm certain was trying to poison me, or use a love potion on me, either way, she stalked me for a while.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

... Jeez.

[And now he's feeling pretty thankful.]

The worst dating experience I had was my girlfriend ending up dead and I got arrested and tried for it. 'course I didn't do it, but I did find out she was cheating on me. Sucked, man.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Man, framed for murder and she's cheating on you? That's nuts man, seriously.

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

It was just one of those days, Barney. [He leans back in his chair.] Ooone of those days.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you've had a lot of those days, pal.
