For God And Country

Amusing story time.

One time I flew to New Orleans with my friend Mike. We had made plans to chill with a NBD all week in his college town. Definitely a good time was had by all.

When he came to pick the two of us up, it dawned on us that he drove a BMW Z3. For those not in the know, this is a soft top, 2 door sports car. Sadly, it only has TWO seats. So that’s 3 people, two seats. We chucked our stuff in the trunk and drove back to his house.

At the VERY FIRST light we stopped at, a car full of jocks pulled up next to us and started calling us out. I suppose they had that right. 3 dudes in a 2 seater is awfully awkward looking. I think Mike was going to fight them, but Rod calmed him down.

Later that night, while driving around listening to Good Riddance (which I mistook for Bad Religion because I had never heard Good Riddance before), Mike suddenly had the incredible urge to drop a deuce. Granted, we are in the middle of New Orleans, nowhere near our friend’s house. So Rod is driving around, really egging Mike on. Lots of sudden stops and accelerations. Of course, I’m sitting with Mike who is about to explode. He’s getting livid. Finally, Rod finds a beat to shit gas station. Mike runs in to find it’s a quaint bathroom that clearly abuts the main service area. He’s in there doing his thing and the whole time, the gas station crew is making fun of him, “Oh man, one time I really had to shit …” “I hate it when I have to shit so bad …” Good times.

Epitaph color vinyl seems hard to come by. I never really see it up on ebay or available anywhere. I believe this one is a first pressing and limited to under 700. Shout outs to @CountMeOut.
