Congratulations Barca Lounger Bandit!



The old man will stumble down the stairs wearing a tattered tank top, clutching a rifle in his hand.  At first you'll brace yourself to leap out of the window, but it will quickly become apparent that the world's greatest granddad, as you'll immediately name him in your head, can barely hold the rifle up, let alone aim and fire it.

"God damn kids," he'll shout.  "I didn't kill every Jap in town so you could come in here and rain on my parade," he'll continue without prompting.

You won't respond to him verbally.  He'll be just like everyone else in this community: a weird, racist old dude who has an expensive chair that he sits in all day.  You're relieving him of his prized chair, and then donating to an orphanage, where ethnically diverse children will play on it.  It's how you restore balance to the world.

You'll leave a note outlining these facts, highlighting how selfish it is for him to keep all of his things to himself as life slowly drains from his feeble body.  You'll also explain how racist southerners killed your dad while shouting "Jap" at him, even though you're obviously Thai.

Since you only target racist grandparents, that leads to them informing the police that they need to find "some god damn Chinaman," which puts the police squarely off your scent, and on the tail of the already corrupt Laundromat Mafia, which killed your mother in a racially motivated hate crime a few years back too (it cuts both ways).

So tonight, as you remove this chair from this old man's living room and he struggles to chase after you with a loaded gun he can no longer use, resist the urge to give him the finger.  You're a sort of modern day Robin Hood, and if you start flipping off the elderly, you're going to lose the high ground fast, and that means the police will catch up with you much, much sooner than you'd like.

Congratulations Barca Lounger Bandit!

Congratulations on Feeling Kind of Invincible!

Today you’re going to get a little bit wasted and wander through Chinatown. Usually when this happens and a white person is involved they just end up getting their ass kicked, their wallet removed and their supine form deposited in a place where it will be discovered, but not too quickly so as to insure that the honky in question suffers adequately. But you’re no average honky. You’re Kurt Russell.

And you’re going to hit the stress of Chinatown like an ancient mystical dragon or a sweet tattoo thereof on some dude’s chest. Every time someone steps to you you’ll lay them out with a sweet hay maker from one of your meaty fists.

You’ll stumble from bar to bar in this brazen fashion, laying Orientals low left and right, until you finally come to a massive abandoned warehouse. At this point you’ll be so drunk that you’ll believe you’re inside the story of the John Carpenter film Big Trouble in Little China and you’ll head into the abandoned warehouse, believing that this is your chance to vanquish those god damn sorcerers once and for all.

Surprisingly you’ll be totally correct about the warehouse housing a group of ancient wizards. The moment you step in the door they’ll summon massive winds to push you out. You’ll press forward against them, those years of mime training finally coming in handy. After a few minutes of struggle, however, one of the spell-weavers will recognize you.

“Kurt Russell?” he’ll ask in a stage whisper, before shouting. “Is that Kurt Russell?! Of stage and screen fame?!”

“Fuck yes!” you’ll shout back. Laughing, he’ll motion for his friends to stop casting you out of their mystical warehouse and get a piece of paper ready so that he can get your autograph, but you won’t notice that. You’ll be so intent on beating the shit out of every Asian dude you see that you’ll just lay him out as he tries to hand you a pen.

His friends will sigh. This happens every time a celebrity comes into their secret lair, apparently, and it always ends the same way. They’ll combine their powers and shock you within an inch of your life and leave you on the outskirts of Chinatown, where you’ll be picked up by the police early the next morning. The papers will run a story about your nearly fatal blood alcohol level, knowing nothing of the strange mystical underworld you stumbled upon in your drunken stupor.

Congratulations on Feeling Kind of Invincible!
