Bromance of the Week

(This week's bromance was submitted by the bro's themselves. The following is their prose, unedited, with some hyperlinks to further illustrate what they were going for.)

Alex and Jeff

This bromance is one based on mutual interests, namely fast cars, fast times and faster women. This relationship was originally one of convenience, as they have sat a mere four feet from each other for nearly two years now. However, it was at happy hours were the bromance truly flourished. Jeff and Alex discovered they both enjoyed imbibing more than one should in a professional setting and then generally making all those unfortunate enough to be near them uncomfortable and upset. Their bromance blossomed on Friday mornings when attempting to mutually piece together the previous night's activity and craft apology emails to co-workers. If you look closely enough through their bloodshot eyes on such mornings, you'll see a twinkle as they ask each other things like "What's a more professional way of saying 'I was fucked up beyond comprehension last night and don't remember what I said but I'm sorry, boo. What are you and the ho train doing later tonight?'"

This bromance is not all kitty cats and rainbows though. Alex is a self professed “selfish asshole” which makes for a tenuous bromance at many levels. Things hit rock bottom when Jeff was trying to quit smoking cigarettes, and while in the depths of a nicotine withdrawal, Alex forced Jeff to watch a youtube video of a man simply enjoying a cigarette. In the end their bond is stronger than some trivial bickering, and is reinforced every time one of them says “Barkeep, 2 Jamesons on the rocks.”
