Could have made a show about our time in the circle. Some of the shit we got ourselves into was way more challenging than anything they're attempting on that show.
I sometimes think back and wonder at the fact that we all survived.
I know Doug. Maybe why I like the show so much. My Dad would never miss it and then we would talk about it.
So where is it now Somoa is it?
Just for funsies let's make a list of the survivoresque type adventures we used to have. I'll start.
-Scale outside of English Building using those little outcroppings all the way to the roof. (Enter building through roof and buy a pack of smokes from the machine)
-Climb water tower, drop down and swim in local water supply. (Heck of a view up there)
-Swim past reef at Pago. You know there just aren't many folks around here that can say they've been swimming in the open Pacific.
-Drop down into the Deans Circle drainage system. You could descend down by the Shooks and come up clear on the other side of the block. The pipe couldn't have been more than three feet wide. This was really one of my personal favorites. This particular past time was almost ruined by some ne'er do well that "neglected" to replace the grate over the access and some poor sap drove his car into the hole. Probably Bast.
-Cliff climbing /cave exploration at Pago. I swear some of those caves that were up the side of that cliff if you fell down into one of those holes I don't think that they would ever find you.
-Who can forget our engaging and physically stimulating interludes with some of the more energetic locals.
Ahh memories.
I missed it due to work but plan on watching it on the Internet. Looks like a good one.
I hope the haolies can survive a midnight jungle encounter with one of those 300 pound faffafinis.. (that would be a man that has been chosen at birth to be a woman due to lack of female children)
As for surviving danger on Guam.. what Doug said.. plus having Benny slam the lid shut at the water tower with people inside.. in the water.. and sitting on it to the shear terror of those of us inside engulfed in pitch darkness. For Ben, his shear terror came when he finally let us out and had to scramble down the ladder as I tried to catch him to push his ass off the tower. How about breaking into the fine arts building.. again roof access.. and scaling the cat walks above the stage.. or pissing off gangs of NAS punks at the football games and being chased for our lives. (common denominator.. Benny) But probably the single most scary thing I ever did while living at Dean's Circle, besides crashing and rolling in the back of Chris's pick up at Talafofo bay, was riding in Richard Mansfield's Chevy 2 Nova, traveling at high speeds, while he would see how close he could come to side swiping parked cars without hitting them.. while stoned out of his mind. The near fatal flash-backs are endless.. we truly are survivors.
Been there,done that:)My 6 ft. 1 in. man at that time didn't dare stand up to the locals in their bar.Wuuus:) Nah, it was a survival mechanism!
Mansfield almost killed off some of us in his truck with Danny Eaton bouncing up and down on the seat next to him laughing. We just got off the bus and he came around. Chased everyone through the field, down the street at high speed. Just lucky no one got hit. I still see his face. I made it to the big Iron wood tree near the four square. He drove up on the lawn. I was really terrified and he just didn't care, he looked like he really wanted to get one of us. He must have been on LSD or something. If I saw him today I would just take the nearest object and hit him with it. What a useless piece of shit. Hope he is dead and gone and not inflicting himself on the world. Today he would have gone to jail for that stunt. I sometimes wonder where the adults were, honestly between Mansfield and the creep that would shoot at us on the way to the marine lab, you would thing my parents might have put up a bit of a protest.
I really agree with that. What a terrible thing and being shot at.Where was my Dad when this was happening? I remember my Dad kicked some 3 youngster's butts for tracking Sam down. Good for him!!! Kungfu fighting.
