Entourage 5/9: What we do for our friends

Turtle swiping Jason Patric's embroidered seatback. Johnny Drama "inflicting a little damage" on the bathroom in Patric's trailer.
Oh, the things we do to defend our friends against the tyranny of evil men . . . and rampaging d-bags.
Both moves were championship work from our favorite mischievous duo. All because Patric stole Vince's lines in a few scenes and was being a real butthead.
You'll notice that not even the high-strung E objected to these actions. That's because that's what friends do. They defend each other, especially when the victim can't fight back. It's pretty much the main reason for having an entourage.
Think back to those times when you did the same thing. We're not talking about jumping on a grenade here. That's easy. It's a given, not heroic.
We're talking about those things you'd never do otherwise. Those things that, due to the actions of a certain someone, you feel fully justified doing them.
Like, maybe, and we're just blogging hypothetically right now, running into your boy's ex-girlfriend in a bar and she pretends like everything is cool and then you "accidentally" rummage through her purse when she's not looking and swipe whatever cash you find. Sure, it's petty theft, but hey, she wronged your boy.
Or, maybe, just maybe, you're playing pool with a friend and there's an obnoxious guy harassing her. And maybe, just maybe, the pool table is rented under his name and ID and, oopsies, the next morning, you find a 6-ball in your coat pocket.
Or, you watched from afar as the ex-girl's new boyfriend corners your friend at a party and turns into a truly obnoxious muldoon and, voila, you're on the subway 20 minutes later with your friend and the muldoon's jacket and -- oopsies -- cell phone.
Again, this is just hypothetical bloggage.
Of course, there are good moves that can be done, like -- and again, purely hypothetical -- calling your friend's cell phone from the phone of the girl he likes but isn't allowed to flirt with because your other friends know your friend already is dating someone else but you wanted to make sure he had the number.
Once again, this is purely hypothetical. Let's hear your "stories."

Another great show this week ! Looking forward to next weeks show.
Here's one my friends and I always talked about doing but never had the balls to actually go through with it:
My best friend had a really bad breakup with his girl. So to get back at her, we wanted to hid bags of weed in her wheel wells. The drug dogs would have found the drugs and she'd be in major trouble.
Though it was never verbalized, I'm pretty sure we never did it because a) nobody deserves undue jail time, which this probably would have brought on, and b) it would have been no secret who did it, so we'd be putting ourselves at risk for jail time.
But we all think it would have worked.
This is more "proactive" than "reactive", but how many of you have done the "circle" with your friends? As in, "go by and see if he is in there", or "drive by his house and see if he is home"? How many times have you done the spy thing for your friends?
How many times have you run into a best buddies ex and made sure they knew how well your friend was doing (even if they were at home drinking or crying or both)?
Of course, how many of us have approached someone in a club for a friend or did the clumpsy thing and, oh my, how did your friend end up bumbing into him/her?
I would have to say though the drive by is the most classic thing.
Lurk outside the bar where the guy is hanging out who has been not so secretly boinking your best friend's wife and wait for him to leave.
Call the local DUI Hotline with a full description, plate number, location and direction of the car "weaving down the road".
in the event a friend has the insatiable need to stalk an ex/crush/ex's new girlfriend it is your duty as a friend to friend request this person on myspace or facebook, provided they won't be able to trace it back to your friend. lol
you COULD make up a fake page to accomplish this feat...or so i hear.
