Marco and Polo Say Goodbye... To Good Friends

Marco and Polo here,
One more crazy week down of term and one week closer to the end...  We are using this week to say goodbye to all the amazing, funny, and insane friends we have made over the years, some of them you already know like the Kid, Tex, and Nestle, others this will be your first time hearing about.
The Kid has long been a part of our duo (or is that trio?).  She started as Marco's freshman mentee and lived in the same hall as Marco, Nestle, and our friends Creeps and Duckie.  Although the Kid is in biochemistry Polo really didn't get to know her too well until they spent a term working in the department together, the term after Marco and Polo became Marco and Polo.  Since those fateful days the Kid has become a reoccurring character in the story of our college lives.  We have spent many an hour studying, plotting and ultimately corrupting the Kid.  We have done such an incredible job with this that there are more than a few professors who make it sound as though the Kid will seize to exist upon Marco and Polo's graduation in December.

Tex wormed his way into Marco's life as her much needed, 'not-gay-gay-best-friend'.  For those of you who don't understand 'Marco-speak' this means Tex performs all the stereotypical 'gay-best-friend' duties without actually being gay *please note Marco and Polo have no problems with any sexul orientation Tex just happens to prefer the ladies*.  Although Tex has remained Marco's 'not-gay-gay-best-friend' he has morphed into so much more in the crazy lives of Marco and Polo (tune in in three weeks).

We wish we had the time, energy, and brain capacity to adequately tell the many stories of Marco, Polo and their band of Merry Misfits but there is not enough time in the word let alone in this term to do them justice. So here's to our band of Merry Misfits:

• Nestle: Marco's college 'twin' and her 'dorm-days' roommate
• Creeps: Our closet-hiding, dirty-minded, goofball of a friend
• Duckie: Marco's "My Drunk Kitchen" co-chef
• Judgement J: Marco's AGD big who lives life unfiltered
• Kitty Wrangler: Polo's kitten-loving 'dorm-days' roommate who was always willing to share her family for a long weekend or holiday
• Boot-leg: The one who taught us to do as he says and not as he does
• Fiery: the antagonistic Old Spice wearer

There are so many more we wish we could mention and thank for their small and big parts in the most recent chapter of our lives.


As Always Stay Nerdy,
Marco and Polo
