- The Porcelain Throne's Portal
Some forty years ago, I had the opportunity to have as many friends over as I'd like while my parents were at work. I was told that the house was now mine. My siblings, nine years older than me, were all gone. A 3-1/2-bedroom home with two bathrooms and a decked-out basement with a barn that I called Pete's Pub. Pete's Pub also had a large freezer that I easily put quarter barrels in if needed, depending upon the amount of people that came over. It was like running a speakeasy, except there was no famous knock and there was no one not accepted. Everybody could come in as long as you were either a jock, a freak, or just a walking nomad. As long as you had a buck to suck, you were in this party, but this party wasn't for pussies either. It had shots. We were going to do whisky. We were going to do tequila. We even did a day of vodka. It's morning, for God's sake! Make mamasas. Though my friends and I were not into pussy drinks, we went for the gusto, probably whisky and water for the most. Back then, wines were still big: country quencher, Boon's Farm, strawberry hill, things like that. It was amazing at 14% alcohol, and drinking like it's a beer, you get very trashed. You start talking about shit that isn't there. You start to do shit that's not there. You march up big hills by yourself and sit down and what the hell is going on? It's a good time.

One of my neighbors is out for me, saying I wasn't home to fight with her. I guess the word that came down is these are the same people, mind you, that flooded our apartment there in 303 or in 203. Our apartment happens to be on the first floor. You go in the basement for 101 and 102. That's either here or there at the moment, because here we are. This is where I got to. I'm pretty much a washed-up wrestler. I got my ass kicked by the guy who ran the meeting prior to this, Mike Canodo. I'm sure he's going to teach another rough crowd to do more of that, because that's what he's about, and that's what I respect about him. He keeps doing the next right thing, allowing himself to make mistakes. You
