Battling In The Hotel Lobby

Even though the Train was pure shit we felt a certain sense of accomplishment for making it there and back at all considering the circumstances. And even though it sucked it was the best the area had to offer. We decide that it was time to hook up the Playstation for some good old home style Madden football battles. We hook it up but get nothing. Check the connections....still nothing. I decide to call the front desk for help.

"Fron Desk, this is Louise may I help you?"
"Yeah, can you hook up video games to the TV here?"
"No ya caaan't."
"Why?"
"I don't know....guess the want you to use our videaya games instead.....ha ha ha ha."
"Well we're not gonna play your 20 year old mario land video games, do you have another TV we can use or can you disconnect the blockers from this one or something."
"Nope, that's all we have....sorry."
"Listen, this is our last hope at sanity. We're trapped in this god forsaken town for 6 days and we have to play some video games. Do you understand?"
"........................well, they hooked up something in the lobby here before, maybe that'll work, I don't know."
"We'll do it."



And we did! We battled it down in the hotel lobby for hours, into the wee hours of the morning. We brought some Bud Lites and some Hard Lemonades and watched the weary travelers and tired truckers check in while we whispered shit talk and yelled "that's bullshit, I hit the button" and the like and we forgot that we were in hell and things were allright in the world as things tend to be when you've got a controller in your hand and a full fledged grid iron battle on the screen.
