THIS ACCOUNT IS ABOUT THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING ACTUALLY CONSTRUCTIVE WE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO ACCOMPLISH IN OUR EARLY TEENS. AS WE REACHED THIS AGE WE STARTED THE "MALE-BONDING" PHASE. SOME FRIENDS (GARY, "BLOCKHEAD", AND KIT, "FLESHY") AND US DECIDED WE NEEDED A PRIVATE PLACE OF OUR OWN TO HANG OUT TO SMOKE CIGARETTES AND ACT COOL. THERE WAS AN OLD CHICKEN COOP ON THE WEST SIDE OF OUR FARM HOUSE THAT WAS ALWAYS KNOWN AS, "THE ROOST". (THE ONLY PIC I HAVE OF THIS PLACE IS AN OLD SLIDE, I HOPE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET IT POSTED ON MY SITE). WE LABORED TO FIX IT UP AND STARTED ADDING A LOT OF THINGS WE FOUND AT THE LOCAL DUMP. WE NAILED A BUNCH OF OLD SIGNS IN FRONT OF IT AND EVEN COVERED THE SIDE OF IT WITH SEVERAL DISCARDED LICENSE PLATES WE ALSO "RECYCLED" FROM THE DUMP. WE EVENTUALLY DUG A BASEMENT AND EVEN HAD A COOLING FAN WE GOT FROM AN OLD 1951 DODGE AS WELL AS A DOORBELL. WE ALSO HAD A BULLETIN BOARD DOUBLE LAYERED WITH PICS OF "SCANTILY CLAD" FLUSSIES FROM MAGAZINES WE FOUND BEHIND ONE OF THE STORAGE BINS IN THE BARN. OUR AUNT HAPPENED IN ONE DAY AND MADE US TAKE THE "DIRTY" PICTURES DOWN. SHE NEVER MENTIONED THE COUNTLESS FLATTENED CIGARETTE BUTTS STREWN ALL OVER THE FLOOR. SINCE SHE SMOKED TOO AND NEVER MARRIED, SHE MUST HAVE THOUGHT SEX WAS WORSE THAN SMOKING! SHE WAS AHEAD OF HER TIME SINCE TODAY THEY SAY BOTH ARE DANGEROUS TO OUR HEALTH! IN JULY WE OBTAINED AN OLD WOOD BURNING STOVE ONE OF OUR NEIGHBORS HAD DISCARDED. WE INSTALLED IT IN OUR NEW HANGOUT AND IMMEDIATELY BUILT A ROARING FIRE (IN JULY!). WE ENJOYED THIS HANGOUT FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND IT SERVED WELL AS THE SITE OF ENDLESS, COLORFUL, OVER-PRODUCTIVE-HORMONE-DRIVEN STORIES OF ALL OUR COUNTLESS PREVIOUS "SECRET" EROTIC CONQUESTS WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX (ALL MYTHICAL OF COURSE). ALAS..... SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE... :-) (I KNOW I'M GETTING A LITTLE LONG-WINDED HERE AND THAT SOME PEOPLE THESE DAYS HAVE THE ATTENTION SPAN SLIGHTLY LESS THAN A USED FLASH BULB, BUT STAY WITH ME). ONE FRIDAY NIGHT TIM AND I WENT TO BED AROUND MIDNIGHT, AROUND 2:00 IN THE MORNING WE WERE SUDDENLY AWAKENED BY THE SOUND OF FRANTIC AND LOUD KNOCKING AT THE FRONT DOOR. WE JUMPED OUT OF BED TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND CHUCK, ONE OF OUR SCHOOL MATES WHO WAS 1 YEAR AHEAD OF US, AT THE DOOR FRANTICALLY YELLING THAT WE HAD A SMALL BUILDING, "BURNING LIKE H***"! WE LOOKED OUT THE WEST UPSTAIRS WINDOW AND SAW OUR BELOVED "ROOST" ENGULFED IN FLAMES! WE RUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS DRESSED IN JUST OUR UNDERPANTS (HEY, FARM FOLK NEVER WEAR PJs) AND RAN TO THE SCENE TO SEE BOTH CHUCK AND HIS DATE WHO HAPPENED TO BE ONE OF THE FOXIEST MOST SOUGHT (AND THOUGHT) AFTER GIRL IN THE WHOLE HIGH SCHOOL! THIS GIRL WAS BUILT LIKE A CERTAIN BRICK STRUCTURE AND WAS SO WELL "ENDOWED" THAT THE FRONT PART OF HER ANATOMY RESIDED IN THE NEXT COUNTY! THERE I WAS CLAD ONLY IN MY UNDERPANTS...A DREAM COME TRUE (WELL, PART OF IT ANYWAY)!!! OHHHH, HOW EMBARRASSING! I NEVER DATED IN HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO ASK ANYONE OUT. I SURE WANTED TO TAKE THIS GIRL OUT BUT EVEN IF THROUGH DIVINE INTERVENTION I WOULD HAVE AMASSED THE COURAGE, IT WAS TABOO. SINCE SHE WAS 1 GRADE AHEAD OF ME WHICH IS LIKE HUMAN/DOG YEARS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL TIME COMPENDIUM! TO THIS DAY I STILL NEVER WEAR PJ's...YOU JUST NEVER KNOW...........
(I LATER FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE THAT TOTALLY DESTROYED "THE ROOST" (IT WASN'T THE STOVE.) HOWEVER, DISCREETNESS AND EMBARRASSMENT WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO TELL IT HERE. IF YOU REALLY MUST KNOW, E-MAIL ME AND I'LL TELL YOU. AT LEAST IT WAS TIM'S FAULT AND NOT MINE... THIS TIME)
