Male bonding.

I had a meeting at 5pm on Victoria Island on Tuesday. Knowing it to be suicidal to attempt driving back to the mainland in rush hour traffic after the meet, I strolled into the Silverbird galleria at about 7pm, determined to catch a movie and just drift till the traffic eased. I got a ticket for The Fantastic Four {The rise of the silver surfer}and had about an hour to burn so I turned to the video arcade in the galleria and begin to shoot up villains in Gunblade-Special Air Assault Force. After buying several hundreds of naira worth of tokens, I noticed two young men looking at my game and commenting on my shooting skills (yeah, in every man lies the childhood desire to shoot up an entire city). After a while, I offered to buy tokens for one of them, Clement, so he could join the shooting spree, which he did. His friend, Henry, took this picture on his phone as we glared at the life-size screen and killed steriod-assisted rogues with RPGs (Rocket Propelled Grenades) and bazookas. When I stared at the photo after, I was surprised there was no fire blazing from the gun muzzles. Henry and Clement came to see their friend who works at the arcade and were very grateful for the chance to play on the games. These little things...

I gave them my card, made new friends...It's the way men are...
