Ingredients:
two small towns
two big cities
one parade
five friends (one each: nurse, geologist, musician, soldier, aggregate technician)
a handful of good chats
13 hours of driving
one unintentional detour
one block of whyte avenue
one haunted radio station
one psychic
Mix ingredients for three days and nights. If you like your weekends extra spicy, add:
one robbery
The next four ingredients are optional, but if you've added the robbery, you may as well stir in:
a dirty carpet
six budweisers
another soldier
Garnish with a heaping spoonful of profanity. Serve with pizza, cheesecake, and lots of bad coffee.
