Full disclosure.( Thanks for the flashback Vegas!)...In 1974, as a junior in high school, one of my buddies started a rumor that a bunch of us were going to streak ( run naked) through our school ( Stranahan High School). The rumor built until the point where if we DIDN'T streak, we would have been a bunch of chumps.
We show up to school wearing shorts and before we even pull in the parking lot, hundreds of kids are running out of the buildings towards the parking lot. We freaked out and drove to the local convenience store to collect our thoughts.
That's when another dude pulled up driving a Olds Delta 88 convertible road yacht. That;s when the lights went off. He told us the entire student population was lined up in the breezway of the school with a path cleared down the middle for us to run through. He also stated that one of the PE coaches had a bounty ($50) for anybody that could catch me or another one of my buddies. ( We quit the wrestling team because we wouldn't shave our heads)
That's when we decided to jump out of the station wagon we were in, and run down the West perimeter of the school, past the band room, and jump into the waiting Olds 88.
We wore top hats to boot!
Well, the plan worked to perfection, with a few hundred over flow students sitting on their cars along the road as spectators, and faculty milling around the band room.
The only catch was the dude named Doug who decided to wear long pants. It took him longer to get his pants off so he trailed the pack running down the sidewalk. As each kid jumped into the convertible, they would yell "GO"!
well as we pulled away with faculty running towards us we did a quick head count. "WHERE WAS DOUG"???
We looked back, and there was poor old Doug running down the road behind us flapping in the breeze with cars honking and waving!
We turned the corner near some apartment buildings and stopped to let poor old Doug jump in the car. We found out later that the cops searched the apartment building for a naked student!
Man did we catch some heat for that stunt!!
Any way Vegas, your post caused a little flashback this morning!
Thanks man and happy jogging!!!
WE HAVE A CERTIFIED TA !!!! READY TO ROCK!
