One of my friends had picked up Mission Impossible: Ghost\u00a0Protocol\u00a0from RedBox and hadn’t watched it yet – though it was due back yesterday evening at 9:00. \u00a0 The start of the movie was delayed for pizza and as a consequence, the end credits didn’t roll until until 8:50. \u00a0 (I thought the movie was fun, though somewhat predictable. \u00a0“The sandstorm is coming! \u00a0Oh, it’s too far away to be a factor. Oh no, here comes the sandstorm! [duh] )<\/p>\n
So, we hop in the car and head out to the nearest red box. \u00a0My friend took the corners sharply and tore through the streets of Akron like someone on a mission. \u00a0An impossible mission… some might say.<\/p>\n
As we pulled into the parking lot, one of the machines was already in use and I was instructed to do a dive roll out of the car and elbow the woman in the head if the other machine wasn’t working. \u00a0It was, and I inserted the movie in the slot with 2 minutes to spare. \u00a0As the woman got into her car she told me that she had called redbox and found out that we actually had until 9:06 to return it. \u00a0I told her it was more exciting this way. \u00a0 With the movie returned, we headed out – at a much more subdued pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
