From The Archieves

I was driving somewhere the other day, I forget where I was going, but as I was driving I noticed a car broke down on the side of the road and it reminded me of this story. I believe it was New Years Eve my freshman year of college. We had a large group, 10 people, heading to Madison to go to a New Years Eve party. I think we had 3 cars going. I was in Trisha Bishop's car with Sugar Lips and The General. It was around 7:00 p.m. and we were about half way to Madison when Trisha's car broke down on I-94. We pulled over to the side of the road and one of the other cars that were going with us stopped to pick us up. But their car was already full and only Trisha left with them. That left me, Sugar Lips and The General alone in the car while they went to find a service station on New Years Eve that could tow the car. It had to be around 45 minute to an hour before we actually got the car towed to a service station. I know it is hard to believe that a place was open that late on New Years Eve. Again this was New Years Eve and I don't think the temperatures were much over freezing if that. The conversations the three of us had in that car were priceless. It couldn't have been 5 minutes after they left, and I was freezing and also hungry. I was just staring out the window looking at all of the cars passing us on the interstate. And as each car drove past I was say "That's not them. That's not them. That's not them. That's not them. That's not them." This was right around the time that the movie "Alive" came out about the rugby team that crashed in the mountains and had to eat each other to stay alive. The General and I quickly came to the conclusion that if we have to eat someone to stay alive, that we would have to sacrifice Sugar Lips. The entire time we were stuck stranded on the side of the road, whenever we had a lull in the conversation, I reverted back to saying "That's not them. That's not them. That's not them. That's not them." As I mentioned we actually got the car towed and fixed that night. Somewhere there is a picture of our entire group inside the service station sitting on the tow truck. Maybe you had to be there, but it was funny.
