I DON'T LIKE THIS BLOG ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO  MUSE APPROVED ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** 30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT for January 8, 2020 Share a story from your childhood when you did something you weren’t supposed to. Did you get caught? Okay, I get it. This is like one of those FBI stings, where you get a bunch of people together by catering to some kind of common interest, then get them to confess to crimes they've committed in their past. Alright, I'll go first. I have a few stories to choose from, and even more, if we can loosely define 'childhood' Me and the hoodlums, as we were collectively referred to, pulled off a pretty sophisticated stunt back in the day. (Way back) (And we did it at night, actually) Step one was hatching the plan. IT WAS NOT MY IDEA. Once we had our stunt (these days we might get away with calling it 'performance art') planned we spent some time gathering materials. We gathered one evening and fabricated a life-size adult male dummy. We dressed it up in a sweater, blue jeans, and a jean jacket. Friday night we took the dummy for a walk down quiet back lanes until we arrived at the back of the Main St. Theater. Two of the hoodlums took the dummy to the rooftop of the theater. The rest of us walked around to the front entrance of the theater. I forget what movie was playing that night, but it was opening night and people were lined-up halfway down the block. (exactly to plan) Me and my hoodlings nonchalantly join the line of moviegoers. Now the boys on the roof appear near the edge holding the dummy, one from the back and the other face to face with the dummy. They're standing on the roof above the crowd but not directly above the crowd. You have to be intentionally looking up to see them. That's where I come in. My role in this was to shout loudly while pointing towards the roof, "holy-shit look at that" (or something like that) THAT'S ALL I DID. So the people all look up to see what's going on because of my convincing acting, the two hoodies are beating the crap out of the dummy, then they toss it/him off the roof to the cold hard concrete below. Two of the front entrance crew worked on dummy recovery, while I monitored the crowd for reactions/comments. The crowd was mostly confused, but we all thought it was the greatest stunt ever. We still talk about it from time to time whenever members of the old gang get together. We never got caught. You got nothing on me FBI! |

your comment. I've done some time curled up. The thumb-sucking never gets old, but the games get boring, and once you've seen all the videos the real world becomes a welcome lifestyle change.
