Emily Goes Hardcore– Braves Stink, West Nile
[Ed: Story and Illustration by Matt. Posted by Dan]
Last night for our FHE we decided to head over to the Provo Disc Golf course near our house for a quick game.
On our approach to the last hole of the night, maybe a 75 foot throw, Emily throws a signature “EmHook” (a throw where holding on to the disc too long results in a crazy trajectory) and the disc goes 90 degrees to the right and into the nastiest water hazard west of the Mississippi.
Does she write it off?
NO.
Does she ask me to get it for her?
Nope.
As you all know, she is wicked hardcore. So Em decides to wade on in with little thought of life or limb for an 8 dollar putter she found on a course in Napa CA. That’s right; she didn’t even pay for it. About 15 minutes, the rankest stagnant water you have ever smelled and plenty of mosquitoes later, she pulls it out in high spirits.
When I suggested we go home so that she can clean off instead of heading over to Yummies for the FHE treat, she says, “Oh no, Baby. We are GOING to Yummies.”
Since we didn’t have a camera I took all afternoon to draw out this fantastic graphical representation of what I beheld:
