A complete conversation between my roommate, Dirty Josh, and me last night as I was leaving the apartment:
Me: “You spying on people again?”
Josh: “Shit, Bitch. The Hilton’s lit up like a Christmas Tree.”
This is a fairly common occurence, Josh sitting on the floor in the living room, blinds pulled slightly, binoculars in hand, hoping upon hope that some vaguely attractive woman stroll past her hotel room window nude, or at very least, topless. Or perhaps someone will be careless enough to leave their shades drawn as they proceed to bludgeon or shoot their victim, preferably a loved one (spouse, offspring, pet, etc). This is the excitement for which he longs.
Dirty is a true voyeur, watching others to see if something the slightest bit interesting should take place, wishing for something to take his mind from the doldrums that are his daily existence. That is, he does this when not sleeping or playing Everquest, the most voyeuristic video game on the planet. For those of you unfamiliar with “EQ”, it is a massive online role-playing game in which nothing ever seems to happen. you spend the whole game just waiting and watching for something that “respawns every 18 hours” and gives “phat loot”. Isn’t this poor soul the target market for such reality-based television programming as “Big Brother” or MTV’s “The Real World”? Wake up, people! If you want to see reality, go outside and go experience it for yourselves! Me, I’m gonna go watch Josh’s tape of tonight’s episode of “Survivor”. I’m out like Jerri’s off the island. Word.
