The V-Man Prophecies





In this episode, Vince and Nikos are bored out of their minds one summer weekend afternoon, and feel like taking a road trip. They have a bulletin board titled "who's around this weekend" which tells them exactly which friends are around, well you guessed it, that particular weekend. How two lazy slackers find out these things in advance, especially as they have so many friends to keep track of, is beyond me, so don't ask me, they just do! Anyway, they call the 4 friends that are around this particular weekend, which happens to be around the 4th of July (so you can imagine that campus is dead for the most part, even during the summer session), to take this road trip with them, after watching a TV program about the infamous "Mothman" of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, which just happens to be a hour's drive from their university campus....
Vince: Whoa, dude, I'm bored! We need a day road trip!
(on TV: a documentary about the Mothman Prophecies and the real story behind it; the narration goes on to talk about Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where this legend took place, and also mentions the fact that there is a statue dedicated to this mythological creature in the town.)
Vince (turning up the volume): Whoa!!! Dude! That's totally doable! We need to get a group together, like right now!
Nikos: Yeah! We need to call around to see who wants to come!
Vince: Well, I know Mandy and Bernie are out of town this weekend...
Nikos: Let's check out who's available this weekend.
(they both get up and go to the dining room)
Vince: Cool, we can start with Marji and Matt.
Nikos: Dude, the only other two are Bobbie and Brabs.
Vince: Well, at least it won't be a sausage fest this time! You call them and I will drop a line to M & M.
