So Thursday I started noticing people talking about Pokemon Go on Facebook and Reddit. Then Friday it was even more, Pokemon Go... Pokemon Go...
I was confused, I thought Pokemon was an old game. Why are people suddenly talking about it? Then I found out, oh.... it's an app. Why are people getting so hyped on an app? So being the hip and culturally current SlyPokerDog that I am I down loaded it.
And.... I caught I pokemon. Not impressed.
That was last night.
This afternoon I went to a friend's house for BBQ. Having a few beers and some food. Someone mentions Pokemon Go. So I showed them the app as best I could, someone else called their kid over there and explained something about different poke things and how you could fight them and all sorts of stuff that just went in one ear and out the other. But in checking the app and I could see there some poke thing a block over. Well naturally I have to catch it.
Now my friend lives in a nice pocket of houses on SE 84th ave. Yes, there are some nice areas over there, not many but a few. Anyway, in looking on the app I could tell this poke thing was on SE 82nd ave and... hey there is another one just a couple of blocks down from there.
So I leave the BBQ and start walking to 82nd, walk and walk, looking at my phone, getting closer to catching this poke thing... and it leads me to the parking lot of an 82nd ave motel. So I'm not exactly sure how to catch a poke in this app game, I'm tapping on the screen, trying to get it, when one of the hotel unit doors opens and out walks this absolutely haggered looking 30yr old women, short short skirt, black vinyl ankle boots, flimsy top and she starts walking towards me. I suddenly realize that, 1. this woman is an 82nd ave hooker and 2, she thiks I'm standing in the parking lot of this hotel to do something with an 82nd ave hooker.
It's then that it's hits be that I'm playing a kids game on a phone and a hooker is approaching me. A mix of panic and embarrassment washes over me as I stop trying to catch this poke thing and put my phone in my pocket right as this rather scary looking woman reaches me.
"Hi, what ya looking for?"
"Uhhh... nothing."
"You sure? We can party."
"Uhh... no, just looking for something."
"I can tell."
At this point I spin around and walk out of the parking lot back to 82nd ave. I start to head back to the BBQ when I realized that there was a 2nd poke thing not to far from there so I pull out my phone, open the app... and you guessed it, went off towards the 2nd poke thing.
Walk... walk... walk..
Finally I reach it, I start to tap the screen, trying to catch it, tapping, nothing, tapping, nothing, grrrr, tapping, tapping.
"What ya looking at?"
It's then I realize that she followed me. I spin around and the hooker from the hotel is standing right behind me.
She smiles, steps closer, I shudder, she is not attractive, but I'm also a little freaked out that a hooker has been following me along 82nd ave.
"I'm just looking for something. I gotta go."
I turn and started walking really fast back to the BBQ, Continually looking over my shoulder to make sure I wasn't being followed.
TL/DR
Tried to catch a Pokemon, instead ended up with a Poke Ho.
