Beavis is Eastbound and Truckin

It was the year 1993. Beavis and Butthead were popular and my crew decided to get CB Radios. That spelled doom for all of the truckers out there. Somewhere out there is a trucker on a mission to find us and beat us up. Well, hopefully not 12 years later. Wow, 12 years later, that just sounds bad. Anyway it was me, Peetey, Mr.T, "Jeff" and sometimes "Josh" and others who decided to do something called "CB Tag". Basically you put a CB in your car and drive around town and find a spot to hide. You then give the others a general location of where to find you and when they do find you they flash their lights and can yell "Tag" over the CB. It was actually kind of fun. We even had fun with the truckers. As fans of the MTV show Beavis and Butthead we knew how to sound exactly like them. Such things could be heard over channel 2 - "heh heh heh truckers suck." "huh huh huh yeah, truckers suck." "My name is cornholio I need TP for my bunghole - heh heh heh" and then all of a sudden this can be heard - "You boys need to get off this channel. Are you Ghey or something?" Then of course we'd respond with "hehehe hey butthead this guy said , get off" "yeah, get off". That kind of dialog would go on for about 10 minutes. One time "Jeff" was doing it and pissed the trucker off so much he said,"I'm gonna triangulate you and come get you." Then Jeff got scared and said,"Guys, hes going to triangulate me, what am I going to do?" as we laughed, knowing it wouldn't really happen. Another time Peetey was getting a trucker mad and as he said ,"If I find you I'm going to get you." He looked over to his right and noticed a trucker mouthing the words to that line. I think he sped off, not knowing how close he was. Some of the truckers thought it was funny. I know Grant did. He would die laughing every time he heard us doing it. I don't think I have a CB anymore. I suppose you could use cell phones to play tag, but there wouldn't be anyone to get mad at us, and that seemed half the fun.

Thought of the Day
"Uhh, I have an injury."
"You do?"
"Yeah, I have this great big crack in my butt."
Beavis & Butthead

That was fun. Looking back, it was hillarious to see this select group of diverse cars (Camaro, Cadillac, Pulsar,2 pickups) all with whip, CB antenneas. Remember, this was the mid to late 90's, and nobody (besides truckers) used CB's. It always felt like "Smokey & the Bandit." I'll never forget George rolling around in your backseat, laughing, while Beavis and Butthead angered the truckers....Good Times.
