Some of my favorites were -
When he had nailed himself to the cross with nerdels after getting
more uncut puruvian flake cocain than he knew what to do with (he
really didn't have that much coke but I had mentioned something about
flu****ng 3 ozs of it down the commode in jest) then we were going to
place the sacred bundt pan over his head for a crown and hang a sign
above him that read "King of the Maggots" since he was always calling
his "students" maggots.
Then there was the one where we were going to make a movie about his
escapades. At one point he had lost his mind from too much crank and
the people in white jackets had taken him to the lockup and chained
him to the floor with drool running down the side of his mouth,
screaming something about rat holes and pounding ****. And you said "
It would be GLORIOUS on film!
Then there was the dirty little Janice Jackson dance you were gonna do
on his grave just before pissing down the urinal headstone we had made
for him.
Of course there was the best fictional story rev. al won for the
pendant award and then the Beverly Hillbillies song that Myraide won
(even though I thought the "judge" cheated)
Oh God!
I know there's more but those wore me out. :-D
