B.P Gonzizzle and I stopped at the Mac Mart down the street from my house last night. I live in the suburbaghetto so there are always gangs of 13 year old street toughs hanging outside the Mac Mart drinking Slurpies and flirting with training-hoes. Last night, though, there was a big group of lil' gangstas in the parking lot - and two of them had snakes around their necks. Little pythons or boa constrictors or something. They were leaning agains the building with the snakes draped around them like it was the most normal thing in the world. When other kids would mention them, they would react like, "What? Oh... this? I forgot I even had it with me." As I entered the Mac Mart they watched me to see if I would react. In hindsight maybe I should have given them what they wanted. Maybe I should have looked at them in shock and gone, "Wha-wha-what?? A snake at a convenient store?? Now I've seen everything!!" At the time, though, I thought it was better to ignore them. Stomp on their efforts to feel special now and maybe they won't grow up to be the forty year old guys still carrying snakes around to seem cool.
