My X-Day-at-Brushwood Report

I figure its safe now, since everyone has gone
to their homes, to detail my activities at
Brushwood this year, so here goes:

I packed up my truck with all of the surveillance
equipment I'd be needing on Thursday night, the
3rd, and headed out to upstate New York from
here in Connecticut. The 4 hour drive was
uneventful until I rolled into Fernwood (or
whatever that little hick town was called),
where I was stopped by a local constable
and ticketed for speeding and a noisy muffler.

After making my way into Sherman and about a mile
from Brushwood's entrance I killed my truck's lights
and rolled past quietly. After scouting the campground's
perimeter and available cover I parked to the side of a
narrow dirt road which was nearby and covered my truck
with pine bows. It was still dark, so I settled in behind the
wheel for some much needed shut-eye; I'd need to be
at the top of my game come daylight.

I awoke at about 5:30am, so it was light enough to apply
my camouflage face paint and climb into my coveralls with
the dried grass stitched into them. It was now about 6:00am,
so I grabbed my pack and made my way down the road to
the edge of the campground. From the tree line I could
see that almost everyone was still asleep. Emboldened
by this, I stalked my way to the nearest out building to
get a better look. Yep, just one or two drunks staggering
around, oblivious to everything except their need to find
a portapotty and yark their guts up. One poor fucker looked
like he'd be combing dried vomit and leaves out of his hair
for the next week.

I settled in behind the tent of Jacques Treatment (I'm sure,
from the pictures I've seen in a.b.s and from his X-Day report).
Man can that guy snore! Lying on my belly, motionless, I waited
for everyone to start waking up. Only then would I make my move.

Several hours passed. It was now 8:30am. Several more hours
passed. It was now 10:30am, and finally people began to crawl
out from their shelters. As more and more people began to mill
around, I slowly crawled on my belly toward the main pavilion,
stopping and remaining motionless whenever anyone got too
near. The headset of my two-way radio was silent, which was
to be expected since I had come alone.

When I was about 100 yards from the pavilion and hard cover,
one guy began walking right toward me. When he was within
twenty feet of me I really thought the jig was up, but just before
he tripped over me he was called back by someone else. I
know now from pictures posted in a.b.s that that guy was
Two Beans. If he had gotten five feet closer I'd have had to
garrot him. With that bit of unpleasantness avoided I continued
onward.

Knowing that the pavilion area is covered with gravel
I made my way to a bush and changed into my gravel-camo suit.
As people milled around, some of them elite members of the
church hierarchy, I crawled slowly -- imperceptibly slowly --
across the gravel floor of the pavilion, under wires and cables,
between chairs, and finally under the stage itself. From this
vantage point I could clearly see the ankles and footwear of
everyone there.

Satisfied that I could move amongst these people with impunity,
I made my way back to my truck, following the same route I had
used to enter. As I got back to the tree line, I ran into both Jlahn
and purple, who were hiding behind trees, watching the activity
in the campground intently.

I would return numerous times in both daylight and after dark until
the 6th of July, when I packed up and headed home.

See you all next year.

I knew I smelled brine shrimp over by there.

Doesn't the Rabbi have a GREAT set of ankles?

She has a great set of everything that comes in sets.

Umm, I suppose my ankles and the rest of me are flattered. How did I
get into the middle of this thread, anyway? I barely even got NEAR
the stage in the pavilion, unless you mean you invaded T-Base's stage.

Well personally, I only responded with a comment about you because
I felt compelled, as a heterosexual, to depreciate the constant rumors
of my being homosexual.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yeah, I've noticed many of the compliments to the women on this ng are on
the knee-jerk reaction side.

Well, I wasn't really knee-jerking, actually. You have to remember that
there is a constant subtext in male-on-male intercourse, and that
subtext is pretty simple-minded. Stripping away the trappings of
language from the exchange above, we may more readily see the
subtext of which I speak:

Me: <general blather>
Bobdiddley: I'm not gay, are you?
Me: Well no, I'm not gay.
Sexmortis: Hey guys, I'm not gay either.
<Silent nods of approval from me and Bobdiddley>

You shouldn't take this exchange as either inappropriate attention or as a
feigned compliment. It's really just a bunch of guys reaffirming their non-gayness
amongst each other.

While I don't dispute the veracity of Artemia's analysis above, it was I who
interjected the lovely Rabbi's name into this thread, and I pray that she is
more flattered than annoyed at the ongoing admiration of her inimitable beauty.
In case they don't have mirrors where you live, you're all the way
good-looking. I saw the geezers snapping your photo, and while you were
cooperatively posing and smiling, they were pointing their cameras down AT YOUR
ANKLES!

I'm a bit beyond having to dispute rumours of homosexuality, as even the most
desparate of gays have quit flirting with me. There are advantages to
age-enhancement.

For the record, my viewpoint on it is this; as long as there is a living
female mammal, I won't knowingly and willingly engage in homosexual practices.
Exceptions are: if it's Brad Pitt or Jesus, we may renegotiate; I'll swap mole
rats for iguanas, or maybe a pretty bird. If it's down to me and porcupines,
I'll go monastic.

Further exceptions may be made at any time without explanation, in accordance
with SubGenius scriptures. Meanwhile, I really do enjoy looking at pretty girls
and women, regardless of height, width, race, age or availability status. I'm
contentedly married, and mostly harmless.
