DumbKnuckle – Lesson 3
Our study of the wild DumbKnuckle continues. With two lessons completed, you may think you’ve become competent enough to discuss the wild DumbKnuckle in casual conversation. You would be wrong…and ugly.
Allow me to explain. The wild DumbKnuckle is far craftier than you realize. Its ability to camouflage and infiltrate normal everyday social groups is alarming. Their attacks are so varied that you may not be able catch it in time.
DumbKnuckles believe that what they enjoy equates to what everyone else finds enjoyable. The only problem is you haven’t discovered how fun it is. They’re here to show you…by force if necessary.
I was visiting the new guy in the dorm…
“So,” he began. “What do you do for entertainment?”
I gestured to his computer. “Well, I’ve got one of these in my room and I’m afraid I spend too much time on it. I need to quit and do something more useful like figuring out what language girls speak.” (Forced laugh)
“Really? You like video games? Have you played Rage of Empires?”
“Yea, I played it once but I really didn’t care for it. Stratagy games that run all the time and don’t take turns make me go cross-eyed with frustration. In fact, I’m pretty sure the computers in Purgatory would be loaded with those games.”
He interrupted me. “Wait, you haven’t seen the new expansion, combo, gold edition, up grade pack.” With a quickstep and one well-aimed index finder, his computer was booting. “Let me show you.”
I tried to escape but it was too late. An invisible force closed the door and slid a chair under my hindquarters. Before I could come up with a valid excuse (classes hadn’t started yet, my family was in another state, no cell phones, fire alarm was out of reach), he was showing me the best strategy for beating back the Huns.
Now try the following questions.
1) As I sat glued to the chair, my mind was occupied with what thought?
A) I don’t give a @$%^# about this $#^^3%^ game!
B) My fortune cookies are never right! “Make new friends” it says!
C) I was right about purgatory.
D) Holy cow! This guy hasn’t cleaned his ears in weeks!
True or False
2) To keep me from tying to find a way out of his dorm room, my host should offer me a small plate of nuts, cheeses, cold cuts, ginger ale, and a moist wipe.
3) A better way to make friends than shoving your interests down their throat is to offer them an amazing ways to make money from home.
4) Slouching, drooling, and a glazed look would have been considered rude.
5) I should have excused myself by claiming to need a restroom…in Labrador.
