Morning Shocker
Of all the treasures I hold most dear to my heart the one that plows to the top on a whirlwind of nostalgia, casting other treasures to, and also fro, is my original Disney Afternoon soundtrack tape.The downstairs bathroom has no cd player. It's not something we brag about, just something we accept. The downstairs bathroom does, however, contain a cassette deck. I suppose, even now, you may have an inkling as to what path this story is on. This morning I decided to pop in my beloved cassette tape for my morning washing. After having a particularly nice shower to the theme from Chip N' Dales Rescue Rangers I returned for my morning teeth brushing and found the radio switched from "Tape" to "Tuner". I assumed it must have been someone who had walked in on one of the lame songs on the cassette and, not knowing what they were doing or what fabulous treasure bullet they had dodged in their naivete, switched it to some morning Christian fluff with a 40 year old DJ trying to act like he's 26. I quickly stabbed at the "Tape" button throwing the radio back into its correct mode and proceeded to fast forward through the song "Gummy-Berry Juice" until Andrew (who had previously entered the bathroom) and I were brushing teeth and trying to refrain from dancing about to the theme from "Duck Tales". Then the shadowy, tape-switching villain made his appearance.
It was CORY.
Yes, my illustrious roommate was guilty of switching the tape off (or so it appeared). He requested that the music be switched on account of, "I hate that music". Andrew and I put up quite an eloquent and shattering verbal rebuttal trying to shut Cory down. It was as if we were standing there watching him publicly denounce the Bible. Cory continued to request that we turn off the music until we raised the question, "Cory, have you ever even seen Ducktales?" Cory answered, "no...well maybe once or twice."
My roommate has never watched the Disney Afternoon. Also, my roommate does not enjoy the saxophone wielding rock of the early nineties.
A dark cloud hangs over the room today, a dark, dark cloud indeed.
