The house goes whacky...
Well it came to clamp down time...reason...can't remember if it was due to Kathy being appointed the new head supervisor of the house..but I believe it was the way Kathy sneaked in...We all were on our summer close down of the house, Camping at Algonquin Park. She was introduced to us as just a student who was required to put her hours in a for practical experience for school. Meanwhile she was building files on us...reorganizing the staff and making new rules for the home...After the summer was over...we had a house meeting,...it was then revealed to us she was to become the new supervisor of the home...She introduced 59 new rules..two flipping pages of rules...I was ticked that she tricked us... gaining our trust as just being a student observer .....really sneaky....She read through the two pages of rules...they were harsh.... and uncalled for...I was the first to crumple up the two pages and throw them in the middle of the room....the rest of the guys followed..then mayhem broke out.. meeting over..lol.......The guys went whacky.....they all decided to run away...they asked me to come along...I thought --run away and do what? go where? I didn't have any money..they said don't worry we will get some...One of the guys uncle said that we could use his car, and drive up north to his cottage..It was a whole house effort....it wouldn't be effective if everyone wasn't in on it..so away we go...First one of the guys said they need some tools...he took a knife and cut about two feet of rubber from the fridge...I said what the hell are you doing? He said he needed it for fishing...fishing? I said come on man thats our fridge. He then pulled out a two foot length of magnet. This guy has lost it...how the hell he was going to catch fish with a magnet?..He laughed at me..and also told the other guys and they all had a good chuckle too...That day we all left the house..... the older guys took the lead. We headed to a coin wash Laundromat...I said what are we doing here? They said we need to get downtown to get the car...but we also need money..So I said ok...so I asked again why are we here? One of the guys pulled out a screw driver...hey what are you doing thats my screwdriver...He says well here you do it then....I said no way.....he then attacked the soap machine....with my screwdriver...he bent the metal lip up...in doing so he also bent my screwdriver..damn...One of the other guys went over to a washing machine and started to break in to the coin slot...he figured that he would have to take the white metal parts off to gain access...so he loosens the top....gets my bent screwdriver and prys loose the sides...now a woman comes in to the totally empty laundry mat and goes over to the machine that the guy was ripping apart...of all the damn machines in the place and she happens to use that one...she tries to push the quarters in and the slot is misaligned --the guys all break up laughing...the lady looks up at them giving them a glare that could kill....she finally smacks the coin slider and the coins click and the machine starts....it starts to fill up and then it goes into its cleaning cycle and the bloody thing is making a hell of a racket as the top, and sides start to fall apart....the guys broke up laughing again and said we better get out of here before the machine hits spin cycle.....the woman finally figured out what we were up to and started yelling from the laundry mat that she was going to call the police...We ran..and ran....the guys counted the take..and found out that they had almost enough to buy a 12 pack of beer...so they said they needed a couple of more bucks and they could hit the liquor store so they wouldn't have to lug around the beer on the bus and subway...so they told us to stay where we were..and two of the guys headed to a newspaper box...they put a quarter in the box ......what the hell...they getting a newspaper for....? The guys laughed again...I said what...what...? I looked over and my screwdriver appeared again..this time they were hitting the box from the inside using a big rock as a hammer....I started over to them ...this time I was going to save my screwdriver from participating in the aid of these crimes...too late...my poor bent screwdriver snapped...but not before the paper box gave up its bounty.....the coins fell all over the newspapers and the ground....WOW...how much money can a newspaper box hold? There must have been over 20 bucks..it was the most quarters I have ever saw in one place at one time....The guys were quick no sooner had the quarters fallen out that they were picked up and shoved into their pockets....The guy with the magnet was using it to gather the quarters up...oh so thats fishing I thought...So we head over to the liquor store...they buy a couple of mickeys...now we go...they say...we got on the bus and headed for downtown Toronto...Yonge street here we come....We arrived at yonge street still pretty early about 10pm or so...I guess they knew by now that the boys were not coming home...We went into an arcade. They never had to go get change for the machines that was for sure...they had enough quarters to play all night...I got bored of the arcade..and wondered when we were going to head up north as I was getting tired...We killed a couple of hours at the arcade..now they realized that they needed more money...oh damn here we go again...well this time they had no screwdrivers to pry open paper boxes... they said time to go fishing.........?
