How's Tamara doing now, OP? Frau?

I was molested, Miss Tedious.

[quote]I must have fallen asleep and awoke the next morning. I recall quite a commotion going on inside the house, yelling and screaming because Tamara had set the backyard on fire.

I think you set it on fire yourself, Rhoda.

Cupcakes? Frosting?

O brave new world, that has such people in it!

You seem to think we are part of that "wo" you want to share with, OP.

We're not.

Please don't.

I fell out of a tree when I was 9.

Here's a summary in under 50 words:

In 1978, a 5-year-old stays overnight with their aunt and teenage cousin Tamara. The child is disappointed by Tamara's rebellious behavior, including drug use and rejecting the child's interests. The visit ends dramatically when Tamara accidentally sets the backyard on fire, requiring firefighter intervention.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Remind me to tell you about when I looked into the heart of an artichoke.

Could you get to the point FASTER?

I have clothes in the dryer which I'll have to take out and fold, I don't have all day!

OP, I called my folks from a Friday night sleepover when it became apparent that we were not going to watch Wonder Woman. They came and got me and I caught all but the first 10 minutes or so at home.

[Quote] I asked her if we could listen to my Cheryl Ladd album as I pulled it out of my backpack. She looked at the cover and commented on Cheryl’s cleavage saying something about her tits hanging out of her jacket. She handed it back to me

lol

OP, you messed up by saying she was listening to Alice Cooper.

Well, um, it's not a Trump thread. There is that.

This is why we can't have nice threads ... errr, things.

Is she still a stoner. Many of my stoner friends are still, 40 years later. They are a real hoot to hang out with even now.

We went to visit shirt-tail relatives and they had a daughter they introduced as my cousin named Jeanette - not Janet, not Gina, but “Jeanie”. I was not allowed to disturb this person because she was watching her program - “Sonny & Cher”. I wasn’t allowed to watch because the stars of the show were divorced.

I went out to see her horse (she must have been spoiled) and it was hunkered down between ceiling and a big pile of shit. I felt sorry for him, but he bit my belly (I had a very visible spare tire at that age).

Rain Man Olympics; I win. Again. With paragraphs. Although I type like Brenda Vaccaro.

My childhood obsessions: Charlie’s Angels (Cheryl Ladd, Shelley Hack), Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter), The Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner), The Muppet Show, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Masters of The Universe, Strawberry Shortcake (the scent of those dolls were intoxicating to me), Olivia Newton-John, Prince, Sheena Easton, Laura Branigan, Madonna!!!

R20 she died of cancer in 2018

r23 doubt it

Oh, add Solid Gold to my obsession list! I watched that show religiously every Saturday evening (when we didn’t go out for dinner) during its entire run.

You doubt what you twit r24??

And then OP, you said, "Is that all there is to a fire?" and realized you should just keep dancing, break out the booze, and have a ball.

If you question the veracity of my story I assure you it’s true true true!

Did the Hardy boys come investigate how someone sets a backyard on fire?

Is this you, OP?

I’m a man for the love of God!

Shag carpet

I know damn well we can work it out.

Where are the paragraph breaks?

listen, this isn't a mafucking composition class you gay man's school marm.

get me a fucking pepsi zero sugar before i open a can of whoop ass up in here.

r12, you forgot to add, the gayest kid that ever gayed.

You left out the most important part, OP: did any of the firemen make you feel tingly "down there"?

I’ll take “Things I Could Have Lived Without Knowing” for $1,000, Alex.

I'll always remember how we spent our Friday nights banging on the radiator and yelling "Fuck! Shit!"out the windows.

OP, I enjoyed your childhood memories.

Thx r41

I have all of these eventful childhood memories all bottled.up deep inside. I have to let it flow like a water buffalo.

This is a retelling

My friends and I were always looking for fun entertainment during the summertime. The fun fountain (a clown with a steady stream on top of its head keeps the plastic hat suspended by water). I think it was made by wham-o. The same company responsible for the slip n slide. Anyway we were playing in the water and also each taking turns pretending we were Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. We’d park ourselves in a carefully placed lawn chair on top of the fun fountain water stream. Our boombox blaring the Flashdance soundtrack on cassette nearby. When I see my visiting uncle come outside and sit on our patio to smoke a cigarette I decide to give him a good show. I cue Imagination by Laura Branigan and then enter the fun fountain stream and give it my best flashdance using the said lawn chair as my prop. There were dramatic solid gold dancer style moves galore! I even lip synched like I was LB!! As the song faded out and my performance ended I looked to my uncle for his approval. He stood up from his chair and yelled BOOO!! With both thumbs down! He then abruptly went back inside the house. I was embarrassed as two of my friends were witness to his reaction. An hour or so later we were finished with our fun afternoon in the water and went our separate ways for the evening. Before I went inside my house I noticed my uncle left his Cubs baseball cap on the patio table. Revenge was all I cared about as I grabbed the cap, put it in my tote bag and headed indoors. Before long I took a big shit in the cap then with stealth returned it to the patio table. He discovered it the next day as I heard him cursing out loud when he discovered shit in his cap. He never confronted me about doing it. Guess he figured he had it coming.

Don’t turn around

When my brother was a kid, he and a friend snuck into a cemetary, dug a large hole, filled it in and put a heavy duty piece of cardboard standing next to it that said Here Lies fictional name with a date of death which was the current day. Someone saw it and called the police and it was in the local newspaper. He never got caught but my mother asked if he did it. He said no and turned his head and smiled at me.

When my mom would hurt my feelings I’d flush her earrings down the toilet
