On the eve of my 18th birthday, I decided that it would be a good idea to get plastered in my bedroom on a bottle of tequila. My parents, literally just down the hall watching tv, would never have any idea that their daughter was lick-sip-&-sucking her way through a bottle of fine tequila, to...  read more

When Daddy went to the University of Tennessee, just before WWII he was a pike, a member of the Pi Kappa alpha fraternity, you know, the ROTC boys.

Our first night there we wound up in the bar down at the end of the street from our place. We drank and danced, drank som...  read more

Lynn was the first of the group to get hitched and we had all been anticipating the wedding day for almost a year. It would be a huge party at a fancy country club with free flowing alcohol and stories about the good old days of high school. At this point we were all in prime drinking shape...  read more

I'm fairly certain that at this point I knew I was gay. No. Scratch that. I'm positive I knew. One had only to discover my collection of crusty International Male catalogs clandestinely hidden between several issues of Alpha Flight to know this. (Thankfully my mother never thumbed through my...  read more

Lyeng's birthday She throws up on another person's car, and we had to give them a 20 to get it washed.
