I forget about how many funny things happened while I was at Morehouse.  It’s only when I’m relaying stories to folks like the one I just told to OJ when I realize, DAMN I saw some crazy things.

For instance….during my sophomore year, my roommate was one of my best friends, Eulus.  We stayed on the second floor in Fair Street dorm, which was a pretty nice set up for the time.  You have to realize this was before the suites and apartments and such.  For someone on scholarship you were pretty pleased with an assignment there.  Anyway, one of the dudes that lived across the hall was this guy Seanta.  Seanta is related to a comedian who had a sitcom in the 90’s, though I never got a chance to hang with him.  Seanta is a pretty big dude.  At the time he was about 6′6" or so and close to 300 lbs, or maybe I’m embellishing.  Whatever the case he was prolly the biggest dude I knew at the time.

So my room in college was always a well trafficked area.  I always had the latest video games or music and generally I’m a pretty friendly guy.  So one day me, Eulus, the homie Nile, and Seanta are playing Madden.  Now Seanta had a tendency to get out of hand.  He was as loud as he was big.  Occassionally we had to kick him out.  It was nothing personal.  I was just heavily influenced by Martin I guess.  So this was one of those times.  I think his Raiders (he was from Oakland) had just been mollywhopped by one of us and he was acting a fool so we gathered our collective strength and forcibly removed him from the room.

Well when this fool gets into the hallway he starts to act a fool.  I don’t know if you have ever seen the skit on In Living Color where they discover Elvis living in the woods and they shoot him with a tranquilizer gun, but it doesn’t stop him and he runs and charges the car with his massive 400 lbs. frame?  Well that’s what Seanta was doing to our door!  We would take turns looking out of the peep hole as he’d back up and then charge the door again and again.  After awhile, wary of our crazy ass Dorm Director, Master Chief the Military California Raisin, coming up and trying to write us up, we told Seanta he needed to chill out.  So he was like, "What do I need to do to get back in?"

Now I don’t know what we were thinking, but our suggestion was for him to pick a person out at random and eff them up.  I think part of it was we KNEW there was a chance he’d do it.  Well he didn’t waste much time.  A few seconds later this little dude named GG walked by.  GG was about 5′2".  Needless to say, this dude Seanta proceeded to FOLD this lil guy up, like literally.  It was hilarious and at the same time frightening….but mostly hilarious.  We took turns at the peephole watching as GG yelled, "What the f*ck!!  Why is this happening?!?!?"

We let that fool Seanta back in after that, he had to promise not to fold any of US up like that, but man, we laughed for MONTHS after that about it.
