sorry sEan, that was me. I saw your lime green El Camino with the patented “ISWALOW” license plate parked in front of the Yoshika spa with the ice chest in the back. I opened it to find 17 Zimas, 4 Strawberry-Peach coolers, and a mere two beers. I grabbed the beers.

I actually had an ice chest with some beer pilfered in the back of my truck not long ago. They left the ice chest, took the beer. I couldnt really get mad.

TB may have masterminded a few capers but it was only building on Smily’s criminal idea. I did it for the intellectual and physical challenges, Smily for his own addiction. The garage business was his baby Sweet, I just perfected it. Y’all act like people were following me around, I was just a face in the crowd, man.

Yes I was influenced by TB’s deliquency. However, for a large part of the garage escapades, TB didnt even drink. It was just for the hoodlumnism of it for him. How sick is that? And as I remember, Sweet begged to go on one of the secret missions just to be a part of it I think.

Is this a pile on TB? I’ll play……..I remember Baen being a bad influence on me regarding ice chests and garage beer. Smiley, you were there during that phase too, sneaky bastard

Yeah He also had an affection for soda type drinks before his alcohol days. Remember the country club halfway house fiasco. All he wanted was the sprite and cokes, man.

if i remember correcty TB was also addicted to spree’s and Sucide drinks. I can remember sitting in the bleacher’s at gibson field and him making a spit rainbow on the ground with the spree’s and then chasing them with the coke, sprite, Rootbeer and orange mixed drink.

Re: Smily’s assertions, any baseball card dealings we may have had would’ve been the result of shrewd trading, nothing more. The liquor thing has been dealt with–I was always exceedingly fair, which is my strongest trait as you know, with the portions, your math skills notwithstanding. As for my less savory traits, my devious abilities are as you described even though your first two examples are poor ones. The dude in school got what he had coming to him for bullying me at recess one day. He had a record haul of fines coming to him in addition to the whippin I bet he got at home. It was devious, true, but deserved.

Harmo, Fish, Irv….I’ve already fessed up. It was the dude that gave me a “Bendamnwhite” on Facebook last week and undoubtedly the reference went to work on my subconscious. I’ll be interested in what he has to say.

As for the incident at the center of all this, the reason I have denied it for so long is that my guilty conscience trait is also very strong. I never had one over this issue which is why I could not accept the blame. But I now believe my addiction was stronger than any guilt I might normally have felt under other circumstances, like say, bubble gum or fun dip.
