Certain activities are fun when you are young, lose their entertainment value during adolescence, and then come streaming back to the forefront of merriment right around the time you start getting so drunk you piss yourself. One such activity is the infamously stereotypical “Teepeeing.”
Everyone has their own tale of “The biggest TP ever bro! Over 100 rolls! It was like a fucking blizzard!” but it is no where near the size of a TP job that went down in my neighborhood. I am serious. The biggest ever. No joke. Seriously, no fucking joke. It was fucking huge! They used 8 duffel bags! Those ones Spencer’s dad got for buying all the little league cookies! Fuck you guys!
There was a new neighborhood going up a block away from the house of one of my good friends Sammy, who, for purposes of anonymity, will be referred to as Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge. It was senior year in high school.
8 of my friends creepily waited inside one of the new house’s frames with 8 duffle bags and 6 back packs stuffed with, and this is after counting several times to assure their level of badassness, 285 rolls of toilet paper. Mount St. Helens could have diarrhea and they’d still have her covered.
2 hours and many beers later, it was go time. Swinging on tree branches and diving over bushes they went, running weave patterns and swapping duffle bags every few steps in case an enemy satellite was tracking their weapons. They used ridiculous code names and waved wild hand signals to indicate that they were, in fact, stupid and drunk.
They were so over-the-top stealth and decked out in camouflage that they caused more alarm than if they had just walked down the road casually. They know this because the house across the street got suspicious when they saw them and called Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge, who happened to be house-sitting down the road.
The Drunken Teepeers arrived:
Mission Name: Operation Avalanche
Destination: Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge’s house
Projected Damage Assessment: Total
Tit Size: DD, perky
The teepeeing began, and holy bananas it was spectacular. They were a fucking TP Swat team. They were invincible. Every inch of every roll was being wonderfully strewn about her property from the trees to the roof to the spindles on the rocking chair on the front porch.
Their mission was nearly accomplished when someone else joined them. Someone with a beautiful, voluptuous, juicy pair of cerebral hemispheres.
Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge: “Hi boys.”
Bender: “Shut up Cameron.”
Cameron: “Fuck you.”
Cameron has a high voice.
Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge: “Having fun, are we?”
Bender: “Shut up Cameron.”
Cameron: “Seriously, fuck you.”
In their adrenaline and alcohol-fueled haze they didn’t notice her until they were completely done, walked out to the street to take a look at their masterpiece, and saw someone still standing in the yard.
Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge: “Nice work, gentlemen.”
Bender: “Cameron, come join us.”
Cameron: “OH MY GOD FUCK YOU!”
Ohmygodthosetitsarehuge: “You guys are retards.”
She thought it was funny, but did ask them to clean it up before her parent’s found out because then she’d have to do it all herself. At least that’s what Cameron told them a few hours later when he found Bender and the others, who had fled when they heard “clean up,” playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater in Bender’s living room.

Pretty Much Daily Quote
"A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts...except slurred, deragatory, and covered in Mexican food."
~ Alex Bash, 2008
Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and even all the beer in the world can't help. It's at time like these you need to let yourself be overwhelmed, even if only for a moment, and then fight back against the forces that be.
Also, you should switch to hard liquor, because it gets you drunk faster.
Sometimes when I look back at my life and the things I’ve done and been in to over the years, I get sad because I know I’ll never possess that level of ignorance. I’ll never be able to be the young and blissful without knowing that at least part of it is an act. The silliness will never be as silly, the goofiness never as goofy, and Saturday morning cartoons will become infinitely less entertaining without the addition of either nudity or cursing.
Then again, I can now legally drink myself into oblivion by my own free will, get a blowjob in the bar’s bathroom stall, and watch the sun rise from the top of a water tower I’m finally strong enough to climb.
Maybe growing up isn’t so bad.
