I will be bringing my old GAME BOY Pocket along for the journey with me into the depths of India. So I thought it would be an excellent idea to start getting some of my old games together. I found the majority of the games relatively fast, with the exception of TETRIS!!! I vigorously search my house for a couple days in tell I finally gave up. My next option was to go onto kijiji and look for one. For those of you who have never used kijiji it is a very weird place, crawling with weird people. Kijiji like it's ugly older brother Craig's List also can be very bad place for unsuspecting people. Though as lady luck may have it I was able to find a copy of the game almost instantly. I sent the guy an email and within the next day he replied. This was his email:
pls call for direction...403-254 ****
thanks....john
So the next day gave John a call. It turns out that John has an extremely thick (very stereotypical) Chinese accent and prefers being called Mr. John. Mr. John wanted my to meet him at his house. Right away all my red flags went up. I said "No way am I meeting at your house!"
"Why not?" Mr. John replied with utter confusion.
"Cause it's at your house, lets meet at the train station!"
"Why not house? Too many people at station! I give direction!" Mr. John soon started to spout out directions to his house somewhere in the next neighborhood over.
I finally had to but it and say "There is no way I will meet you at your house. I can meet you at the train station at 5:00 pm. Is that good for you?"
"To many people at 5, less people at 6. Meet at 6 on the west side!" At this point Mr. John was very freaked out, though am not going to lie so was I.
I agreed to meet Mr. John at the train station at 6. After my conversation with Mr. John was finished I quickly ran upstairs to find my brother. I asked him if he could join me to pick up TETRIS from Mr. John. You may think I'm a coward for going with some back up, but in all reality I was very scared I was going to be pulled into some van.
As soon as my brother agreed to join me at the train station, the phone rang. Mr. John phoned my house! I never got the chance to talk with him because my mother answered. Mr. John suddenly could not find the TETRIS game! He must have misplaced it somewhere in his house full of other little boys who like me all wanted a TETRIS game off of kijiji.
I don't know if this Mr. John was actually a pederass. But it sure is an excellent way of luring people into your house. I foiled his plan into luring me into his house. It makes me think if there was actually a TETRIS game to begin with. I am I wrong to think that this Mr. John was a pedophile, you tell me?
