‘Thank fuck for a public holiday Monday, I am feeling dusty as,’ said local man Brent Power (23) in an unanswered text to his group chat, ‘The Caxton Street Regulars,’ this morning.
Whilst the Easter long weekend would traditionally be a time of rejoicing, being grateful, and using the two public holidays to absolutely murder your liver with ethanol combinations the likes of which have not been seen since Christmas, this Easter certainly has a different flavour.
And that flavour isn’t the flavour of pangolin, or bat, no sir, but the flavour of ‘hanging out with Dad.’
Whilst Brent, a long-term Commerce student and account representative officer for the Department of Financial Affairs & Mysteries, usually ‘gets tanked’ with his ‘great group of guys,’ at some remote faraway location like Straddie or Moreton, the quarantine orders imposed this Easter have granted the entire affair a certain ‘beers with Dad’ feel.
However, Brent, in a misguided if vaguely-admirable attempt to keep the spirit of his long weekend alive, decided to have a ‘mental bender’ with his parents last night.
‘King of the mid-strengths, aren’t you Dad?’ whispered Brent in his father’s ear over the lamb-cutlet dinner they ate last night. Proceeding to drink three cans of Mountain Goat Summer Ale in seven minutes, Brent whacked on a few episodes of ‘Marvellous Mrs Maisel’ on the television screen and promtply fell asleep.
Only time will tell whether this supposedly ‘legendary’ night goes down well in the canon of ‘awesome moves’ from the ‘B-Man’ himself, but one thing’s for sure.
Amazon Prime is a great investment.
No more to Krum.
