Well I can't remember all
the details, Linda (Violet) is supposed to send me her recollections...
I have been waiting since June of 2005...
Here
is what I do remember... We were
on a TP terror campaign during the summer of 1982. I can't remember
how it got started, who we hit first, why, half the time I did not even
know who's houses we were hitting. I do remember the first time...
Linda (Violet) and Todd (Cherokee) picked me up about midnight and we
drove around to several fast food restaurants with outside restrooms
and liberated them of all their TP. This of course was in addition to
the TP we already had. Linda recalls that we hit 5 houses in one night
and I have no reason to question this. I vividly remember sneaking back
in to my house shortly before the sun came up after TP'ing all night.
You know there is nothing quite like the sound of a roll of TP flying
through the tress and making a loud thud as it hits the ground, well
loud being relative to the 3 am quiet of a hot summer night. I also
remember how funny the thud was to us and how hard we had to work at
not laughing out loud!
In
certain circles we were known for
this activity. Some mocked fear at the mention of being TP'd others had
a real fear at the thought of cleaning it up. Darbie (Sundowner) was a
friend to us all and aware of our little TP ritual. She was moving away
sometime in the spring of 1983. We decided to get her, but we decided
to limit it to the van out of respect. She did not get mad but took it
in the true spirit in which it was meant. Wow all of this blabbering
just to share these photos!
