Road trip this week! Taking I-90 to I-80 from Seattle to New Jersey.

Are there any real singles scenes in South Dakota, Montana, or Cleveland?

Hmmm, jokes...

Well, a couple years ago, I was working in a printing plant as a technician when one of the maintenance crewmen told me to fetch a can of blanket stretcher from the shops. This ensued into a chase all over the production floor.

I didn't learn until late in the shift that blanket stretcher doesn't really exist--but it was a good break from downpiling books...

Couple of goofy teenager incidents occured in my time. Both of them around the age of 16 (1986). First of all, all the guys in my class and the class behind me would have one giant get together every fall around Halloween. When we were much younger, we'd do the usual tame stuff like play flag football out in a large field, kids stuff like that.

As we grew into our teen years, we'd do stunts like build a giant bonfire and chuck flammable items like cans of WD-40 and jars of regular unleaded gasoline while sitting in lawn chairs from a fair distance into the roaring fire and watch them "pop" into the air like flying firecrackers.

A year after that, we sort of added other goofy "stunts" like rolling farm tractor tires all over town and we'd drop one right in the middle of main street and leave it there.

That same year, the girls were having a slumber party down the street, and we all snuck into the yard and went up to their bedroom window and made ghostly sounds, and her father come stumbling out of the house just drunk as a skunk yelling "What the h*** are you guys doing?", whereupon, we ran like a pack of laughing banshees back to our flammable items and the roaring bonfire, and he didn't know who it was.

The highlight I think of our youth back then was the annual beer keggers and bonfires we held out in the middle of nowhere with some of the older college crowd who were back home on spring break and the kids and older alumni from the neighboring town schools. It was not unheard of to have around 300 to 400 at these beer keggers out in the back country, and some traveled a fair distance from 2 or 3 counties over.

They were pretty elaborate: loud music, several dozen kegs, and two or three drunk bastards climbing around the trees with a chainsaw clearing wood for the fire. In fact, one year, one of the older guys climbed up about halfway up a very large tree, proceeded to tightrope a large limb, stooped down, and proceeded to bring the limb and himself back down to terra firma. He made out ok, the chainsaw on the other hand, suffered minor damage.
