Choose your own Adventure

Growing up, my mom would always reward us with trips to fun places and candy if we read books. Among my favorites, where the "Choose your own Adventure" series. I loved being able to select what I wanted the characters to do. That's what I'd tell my mom at least. I really liked them because I would find the fastest way to kill off the main character and end the book quickly. Every time I ended it, it counted as a new book. I think I earned A's tickets in like 10 minutes once... Unfortunately, Aerospace Engineering books don't allow for such creativity (or the ability to kill off characters) . So I've decided to vent some creativity via this blog.

Without the permission of two of my favorite people in the World and at the risk of upsetting two of the most powerful lawyers BYU has unknowingly spawned, I present the below picture of Bill and Phil taken at our wedding reception last year. I LOVE this picture. I have NO idea what they were talking about but here's my best guess....



Phil- "Yes Bill, although Mortal Kombat is a great game, Donkey Kong is vastly superior."
Bill- "Donkey Kong sucks!"
Phil- "You know what, YOU SUCK!"

They then broke out in a street style knife fight.



Thats how my mind works but I'd love to hear your versions of what transpired on that infamous day. Choose your own adventure...

I love how their ties are even representative of their schools colors. :)

B: Where did you get that tie?
P: Don't you know a lawyer never reveals his fashion secrets. It's the secret of success!...

Bill: How come you are so pasty white?

Phil: I don't know, you look pretty bad yourself. Did you forget to lay out yesterday?

Bill: Oh man, I knew there was something I should have done.

Phil: Let's blow this joint and hit Planet Tan. I need some color and some cancer.

Bill said...

First, this picture was taken about a week after I got my LSATs, a time when I had no intention of going to Chicago. Second, that tie was Britton's "best men" tie. Third, this was the real conversation,

Phil: If we're going to take over the world, we better play it from opposite sides.

Bill: So I shouldn't go to Columbia?

Phil: It'd be too obvious.

Bill: What about careers?

Phil: I'll do the judicial then government route, then I'll take my seat on the bench.

Bill: What if I wanted to be a judge?

Phil: You're too good looking. Byron White was a fluke. It won't happen again.

Bill: Lame.

Phil: You can send me monthly checks and I'll let you write 25% of my opinions.

Bill: 50%.

Phil: Done. See you at the top.

Bill: Let's blow this joint.

Phil: You wanna go watch old West Wing episodes?

Bill: Yeah, but only the Sorkin years.

Phil: Obviously. Man, no way you're getting into Harvard.

Bill: At least we have one thing in common.

Hi there!! I am in your ward (but have long been a fan of CityMamma1's blog). I missed church last week, but my husband told me you guys spoke. I will eventually introduce myself.

We tend to be consumed with keeping our children quiet during church so I don't meet many people... we have to connect some time.... we are the family that usually sits in the front left part of the chaple. My older daughter is blonde and my next two are adopted (and black), so we are pretty easy to spot....

I just wanted to say "hi"... when we first moved here ALL of our friends were students and I was on campus all the time...they have all grown up and moved away and we have stayed...seeing your halloween pictures made me realize how much I miss old EV.... ;-)

I remember the "Choose your own Adventure" series!! I had a Cinderella version, and a Bambi version. The Bambi version always ended in a big fire or something tragic like that.
