bad-ass capitalists |
I used to invite groups of students over for dinner. Usually I would invite the biggest characters. One time I invited three bad-asses.
In my dining room, Robert Simms III, Larry Drane, and 'Lil Ron ate stuffed pork chops. With their street cred evaporating by the minute, I figured they would be leaving immediately after dessert. But they had other plans. They had one thing on their mind: Monopoly. The board game. I didn't even know kids still played board games. Especially bad-ass kids. So they stayed another two hours and played one crazy-ass game of monopoly. People are hard to figure out.
