Jon Broderson

Jon is another person that I met through Kirsten my fifth year at MSU.  He is one of Kirsten's closest/most entertaining friends bar none.  I'm just going to be straight with you, but in the lovingest way possible, when they are together things can get freaking weird.  For instance, they have a series of noises and faces that they make at each other that are so off the wall that I don't even know how to describe them...I'll try to put together a sample conversation for you.

Jon: "Murrr"
Kirsten: "Gurr"
Jon: "Urpakerr"
Kirsten: "Kerrrrrrr" (she says as she curls her upper lip up making "the face")

It's seriously unlike anything I've ever witnessed, and that's probably the main reason why they're so much fun to hang out with.  Now let's get to the memory that is the basis of this post.  So it's New Years Day, Kirsten and I are on the couch, hung over, possibly still drunk from the insane night that took place just a few hours prior when Jon walks in the door, about equally drained of life as we were.  Naturally, we started to do a recap of the night before, which, as anyone who parties right knows, the recap is the best part.  The hazy highlights from the night get talked about until we get to some story where Jon gets to a point where the descriptive phrase he chooses to use is "smells worse than a wolf pussy."  Now I was kind of out of it and not paying attention for several minutes...but this turned my head.  "I'm sorry...did you just say, wolf pussy?"  Yes, he did in fact say that.  And I don't know why, but I immediately felt like I had to conjure up different scenarios where I could use it.  A little bit of water spilled on the carpet "Dammit, this carpet is wetter than a wolf pussy."  "There was more hair than on a wolf's pussy."  You get the point, but this went on for about ten minutes where the three of us (let's be honest, mostly Jon and I) continuously used that ridiculous combination of words at any point where it made sense.  Maybe we were all still a little tipsy, maybe the dehydration was getting to us, maybe innovative cursing is really that entertaining, who knows?  All I can say is that of the various weird things that have come out of their mouths when they're together, wolf pussy is the one I'll probably keep with me for years to come.  So thank you for that Mr. Broderson.

Cheers.
