A Psychopathic Little Shit (Briefly):
Ann's recent post got me to thinking about shoplifting. I did a lot of crappy things as a kid, but I was never into shoplifting. I think I was too scared. The only thing I can recall stealing was from the grocery store. It was the July 1976 issue of Playboy magazine . (I remember the patriotic cover.) I would have been thirteen which would have been just about right.
Did we all have one friend we did the really shitty things with? There was one guy named Mark I hung out with for about a year around this time. He was probably the person I was up to the least good with, until I became a drug fiend about three years later. In addition to hocking the above magazine, we also stole a fire extinguisher from an apartment building one time. We ran around in the night and sprayed it. Just one little squeeze of a lever and a huge cloud of yellow powder came out, we almost wet ourselves. He wanted to find a cat to spray it on. We didn't and I was secretly happy, even when being a little shit I didn't want to hurt any animals. One time we also hid in some trees and sniped at kids with a BB gun. I'm glad I didn't hang out with him much longer after that. Its probably best for the world I discovered illegal drugs a couple years later, that calmed me down a lot and worked for years.
Blog Stuff:
The Suzanne Malveaux hits seem to be piling up again on this blog. Background on it is here. My original mention of her was here. That little news vixen has been a real cash cow for hits for me.
Quote of the Day:
The bayou curved like a crescent around the point of land on which La Folle's cabin stood. Between the stream and the hut lay a big abandoned field, where cattle were pastured when the bayou supplied them with water enough. Through the woods that spread back into unknown regions the woman had drawn an imaginary line, and past this circle she never stepped. This was the form of her only mania.
--- Kate Chopin, "Beyond the Bayou," 1894.
