Trespassing Stories.
Posted: Tue Jun 19, 2007 10:24 am
I'm sure there's many members of EA who have traveled to places where no EAer should dare to tread. I have many, many funny stories of this nature.
I'll just get the ball rolling with one of my less exciting stories...but it's fresh in my mind.
JamLifeIntoDeath (we've been exposed!...might as well come clean) and I have made a habit over the years of sneaking into public pools very late at night and swimming around for as long as we have the balls. Scampering up some of those fences can be a real bitch...but nothing has stopped us thus far.
We just did it again last night...this time at Meadows pool in Arlington Heights. Believe it or not, JamLife usually goes swimming with his boxers on, but last night he felt compelled to take a naked swim. Last night, I saw him do a really impressive naked double front flip off the diving board into the pool in order to get the ball(s) rolling. We were with an attractive girl...but somehow I missed out on seeing her naked as well...just JamLife...and I've been totally desensitized to his insanity/weiner. Anyway, to summarize, we've snuck into any number of suburban pools...we've been at this a long time.
Last summer however, in an admittedly immature effort to out-do ourselves, we mapped out a plan in which we would hit up three pools in one night...culminating this time with sneaking into a private pool...Rolling Green Country Club's pool. We'd been looking for a new "thrill" for a while, and the country club proved to be where it was at.
We made our rounds...I think we hit up Big Surf (wave pool)...the aforementioned Meadows...and then made our way to the night's greatest challenge...Rolling Green.
The country club was heavily fenced on all sides...(later we discovered one opening, but it didn't show up where and when we needed it to). We hopped over rusty, shorter fence...but due to the rusty, pointy top of the fence...it was probably the most difficult fence I've ever hopped. There was just something about the height of it that made it hard to get over it...I remember really fearing for my nether-regions' safety...I can't really remember why this particular fence was such a bitch, but it was...we took too long getting over.
We eventually made it over the fence...and we all took off running towards the pool across Rolling Green's expansive golf course...it was a long run...and we ran near full speed for the entire time. I was running next to JamLife. Suddenly, as I was running, JamLifeIntoDeath took a completely confident run into a sand-trap. He fell straight out onto his face. It was impossible to see that beyond the grass where we were running (a slight uphill) there was the sand-trap of death. He hit the ground with a sickening, Separate Peace-esque, "THUD." I laughed and laughed at this...how could he have any idea that the bunker was up ahead? In any case, JamLife was fine and we continued running towards our goal.
We snuck into the pool area around the back...we could see people in the windows at the pool-side club area. We assume they were janitors, but there were enough people lurking around to make us a bit more cautious.
Our friend Peter was jacked. He had been imagining this moment for the last two weeks or so. He had been fantasizing about the great suburban pool run with his own special new twist...the pool run would culminate with an act Peter has lovingly coined, "the aquadump." JamLife and I had very little interest in leaving a stoolie in the pool, but we weren't about to squash his dream.
JamLife and I did some dives, some jumps, some swimming...but we were still rather wary of custodianland. Peter's moment had arrived. Peter has the girliest, most infectious, most hilarious laugh I've ever heard...and you never know what will set it off. Like Dr. Hibbert from The Simpsons, Peter not only laughs at the most inappropriate moments...but at the most inexplicable moments. This time, for once, we knew the laugh was coming. Peter's giggling commenced...and JamLife and I knew that it was time to get out of the pool. Peter held tightly onto the poles connected to the metal stairs that allow you to get out of a pool...he had been holding his dump across three pools and more than twice as many fences...like a proud penguin father nuturing his egg over the course of an impossible winter. Peter began laughing really hard in a very high voice...the proud papa's "offspring" slowly floated to the top of the pool. It was time to run again.
We took off from the pool area back across the golf course...where we were pleased to find a cooler full of Gatorade half the way through the mad dash towards the car.
So that's one of my many idiotic trespassing stories. Would anyone else care to share?
