Recently, I took a vacation to Portland, Oregon. Portland is Miami for hipsters. So I’m walking around, right, and on a lawn I see this big inflatable Jaeger bottle.
Then I look over, and there’s this guy smoking a cigarette and holding a crossbow.
After a long drag on his cigarette, he turned around and cracked a shot at the inflatable bottle with a duct-tape-tipped arrow. He lit another smoke, walked over and picked up the arrow, then shot at it again. He repeated this for five minutes straight.
Later, at a diner, I replayed the memory again as I ate my omelette. Man, I would nominate that guy for the coolest dude of the 21st century.
