- The Kris Kar Apartments
by Ron Shanney

First a little background; this guy I know lived in Kris Kar apartment his sophomore year
at Cal Poly, and the year after that a couple of friends, Buster and Peewee (not their real
names, their real names are Chad and Ryan) moved into the same apartment he had lived
in.  Buster and Peewee did not play rugby and therefore did not pee on themselves on a
regular basis. Buster was one of those guys that should be called Howmuchyabench
(thanks JK) and liked his world and anabolic steroids a certain way and didn't enjoy
when things were out of whack.  Peewee was in the math club.  I am not making this up.

One night this guy, we'll call him Ron Shanny, was at a rugby party after a game.  At this
particular party there were no girls to talk to so everybody filled the uncomfortable
silences by drinking and having boat races.  At some point the idea came up to go
downtown, there's sure to be girls that want to have sex with us Downtown!!  I think the
actual quote from Beatty was, "Stovenpipensickle!!  Hale-Bopp?" and Bertolero
seconded the idea by making R2-D2 noises.  Everybody filed out the door, but
somehow Ron got separated from the group and became Drunk Lonely Guy.  

The first thing that went through Drunk Lonely Guy's head at this point was the thought of
a double layer taco.  He set off on his hike to Taco Bell, but was struck by the
overwhelming urge to pass out.  Now, any self-respecting man in this situation would
pass out in the bushes, but Ron was no ordinary man this night.  He used all his powers
of deductive reasoning and realized that he was standing in front of Kris Kar apartments,
and in fact his old apartment was right in front of him.  

"I used to live here, and now I know people who live here.  They owe me a night on their
couch".  So Ron walked up to the front door and pounded with all his might.  No
response.  Pound, pound pound.  No response. It was at this time that Ron really started
to shine.  "I know, I'll just go in through the window.  They won't mind and besides, they
owe me".  With all the grace of a retarded orangutan, Ron pulled off the screen, tearing it
in the process, opened the window, crawled in, and passed out on the couch, dreaming
of sugarplums and fat blind chicks.

The next morning came around and Ron was woken up, rudely I might add, by Buster
and Peewee wondering why he was there, and how he got in, and when he was going to
leave, and all the other questions that normal people ask.  I'd like to point out that a
rugby player in this situation would not have been asking these questions if he found Ron
like this.  Apparently all the commotion was because Peewee's parents were coming over
in the next 15 minutes.  Buster was so distraught that he offered Ron a ride home just to
get rid of him.  On the way out the door Ron heard Peewee say, "What the hell??!?"  

Quick thinking saved the day, as Ron ignored him and kept walking.  You see, Ron had
noticed when he got up that his rugby shorts, which he was still wearing, were wetter than
usual and the couch smelled like urine.  In an attempt to cover his trail he tried the time
honored trick of flipping the cushion over, but it was soaked all the way through.
Somewhere in his alcohol soaked mind there was something that made him feel like he
should do something, but he realized it would be better not to get involved, what with
Peewee's parents coming over and all.  

Ron couldn't escape the watchful eyes of Buster, however, who asked about the wet
shorts, and pointed out that this was his new Camero (sadly, not a Z28).  Ron, using his
rapist wit, mumbled something about spilling a beer and looked at his feet.  When Buster
dropped Ron off at his house (again, I am not making this up) Ron tripped over the curb
and fell on the ground.

The upshot of this is that Ron was not welcome back at Kris Kar, and Buster and
Peewee didn't really see fit to want to hang out with Ron anymore.  Ron was able to kill
the pain of not hanging out with these two by drinking and not getting laid for the next two
years.

Still to come - The Steven Hawkings Chronicles - Volume I



9/21/07:  I just reread this after originally
posting it in 2002 (I think)
to check and
see if the link worked from
Matt the
Greek
's page.  Now I have no idea what
I meant by the "Steven Hawkins
Chronicles".  Was this going to be a
story about
Newman, Ron, Eric the
Albino, or myself?  I guess that is what
you get when you are still shotgunning
beers in your thirties.
