Pat, are you talking about this scar?Regretfully, the story you were given was the "official" line told to the parents. The truth was much more sinister and therefore more interesting and fun.
P.S. I just spoke to the last of the trio who holds this mark. Great job tracking him down Dave.

Hey Robert, you were that nicely!!Seems Dave got the best of you on that. Mine isnt so bad..Seems those tent pipes get quite hot!
Hey now, you can't blame it ALL on me. I think it was the vitamins we were taking back then that made us do crazy stuff. I don't remember us ever owning any tents...
Ah ha!...I'm TELLING mom. so it WAS a tent pole..no wonder u didn't have a tent...u were using the pole to brand yourselves. hahaha
Tent poles?..... good one brah..!
I can appreciate this in a sort of surreal (?) way - because I have a 16 year old son who has a burn scar on his hand along with a bunch of his buddies from his football team. I dont know what they used to do it, but they have matching scars, too. What is this? A sort of primative initation into manhood?
Primitive behavior is not necessarily relative to
the present level of civilization.Rich or poor,
a socialized society, or under tyrannical rule...
tribal roots run deep.
Now that you mention it, the affair certainly had elements of ceremonial ritual; a full moon, a banyan tree, 3 willing participants, an altered state of consciousness, and one of the oldest symbols known to man - the Circle.
Living within a circle, with an altered state of consciousness. Sitting in a circle, under a full taotaomona moon. A hot glowing object of ancient primal pleasure orbiting the subhuman circumference, until the smoldering screams of initiation into primitive adolescent manhood, somewhere on the distant shores of a land that time forgot.
Heavy stuff. Good old Pago.
More victims of "Better Life thru Chemistry"! HAHA!
