I grew up in a neighborhood where everyone was pretty close, so growing up was pretty easy I suppose. But overall, some good fucking stories came out of that place. I'll tell you one of my personal favorites, and perhaps one of my greatest achievements.
On my street, I really only hung around with three main friends, who shall be referred to in this blog from here on out as Kitty, Taco, and Pollock. Other kids came and went from out group, but we were the constants. I feel that I should probably give some background on these gentlemen.
Taco: Three years younger than me, a Mexican, and probably one of three people in the entire world I am legitimately certain could murder someone without remorse...basically, I wouldn't fuck with this kid unless I absolutely had to. Before he fell into some bad ways with some worse people, he was one of my closest allies in making fun of/torturing people that deserved it. He has a very strange sense of humor, and even though we might not talk as much as we used to, I still call him a friend.
Pollock: What can't you say about this kid? He might not always be the most intelligent person to be around, but his heart is usually in the right place, which I can't really fault him for. For the purposes of this story, it's definitely necessary to know that he randomly had a marker on him at the time of the events that took place. He's also a fisherman...almost to a fault.
Kitty: Ahh, Kitty. Perhaps my oldest friend, and the one kid in the world who has put up with my bullshit for as long as I can remember. Certainly the only person that I know for a fact that I will be in their wedding party. His parents are pretty awesome as well, and they have welcomed me into their home and lives for over a decade now. This all happened in front of Kitty's house.
Now... on to the story!
The Scene: 2005
Me and my buddies were all standing at the edge of Kitty's driveway, smoking cigarettes and shooting the shit. This was definitely towards the end of spring or even early summer because I remember wearing shorts that day. Anyway, these two girls that live up the street from us were both rather young, and pretty scummy if I do say so myself. One of them was a friend of everyone's sister, the other was her friend that was widely known as the ugliest girl any of us had ever encountered in our young lives.
Now, these girls had a penchant for bumming cigarettes off of absolutely anyone that would give them to them, and they ALWAYS knew if you had them or not. It got to the point where I would carry around two packs of cigarettes at all times with me (one full, the other with only one cigarette so that I could get out of bumming to them for that encounter),
Now, on this day I was feeling kind of generous. Partially due to the fact that UglyGirl had called me a scumbag earlier that week. As we saw them walking down the street toward us, I told my friends that I had something up my sleeve for these two. The girls said their pleasantries and quickly were on their way, however...but said they would return shortly from some venture they were making into the woods by our houses.
I watched as they slowly strolled down into the woods and out of sight, and made my first statement regarding my intentions. I said, "I'll bet you that my ass has a nicer smile than UglyGirl's!" I then asked Pollock if he had a pen on him. He only had a marker, which ended up being a funnier alternative. Kitty had a camera phone, so I told him to have it at the ready. I then asked Pollock or Taco (it was a while ago, forgive me) to draw a face on my ass. When that was finished, they asked me what they fuck I was doing, to which I could only laugh. I pulled out a cigarette from one of my packs and stuck it out from the smile that had been freshly drawn on my ass, sticking it out of the crack. It was a rather convincing picture...almost Sarah Jessica Parker-like in appearance. I then told Kitty to take a picture of my pooper in all it's smoking glory.
When all was said and done, we were doubled over in laughter. They knew what was coming next. Seeing as how I hadn't showered that day yet, I chose to wipe the cigarette on and around my scrotum, making sure to wipe up every last bit of its salty goodness.
Literally not 5 seconds had gone by between when I pulled the cigarette out of my pants and when the girls came back into sight. I had to calm us all down so as not to give away our (mostly my) imminent smegma surprise.
The girls walked up to us, and without any hesitation, quickly asked to bum a cigarette. I "reluctantly" agreed to give them one to cut between themselves, which they seemed more than happy with...so were we. As soon as our friend's sister had lit the cigarette, Taco could not contain himself and had to walk away. Everyone else just tried to keep their composure, which became practically unbearable as UglyGirl spoke out regarding the cigarette, saying "This tastes funny." The smiles that I saw on Pollock and Kitty's faces I will never forget, as I bit my tongue so hard it bled so that I maintained as straight a face as I could.
When the girls were done, they went back to calling us scumbags and whatnot. That was the time that we chose to reveal our fromunder facade. The girls, of course, did not believe us. That's where the lovely picture that was taken came into use. I don't think I've ever seen someone turn green that fast, but boy...I was a dick.
