FIGHTIN' TEXAS AGGIE "I GUESS IT'S NOT BURNING TIME!!!
Despite the fact that bonfire burned-out quickly and would not catch, It was A Good Fun Time For sure, and I loved it!!!
In The Words Of One Of Our Brown Pots:
"WE BUILT A FIRE-PROOF BONFIRE!!!"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
CONGRATS TO BRAD 'Too Tall' From HHH for making Brownpot!!!
Stack During the day, Awaiting Burn Time
BURN!!!!
So Here's the story about bonfire. I got there around 4pm, but because of all the traffic and some people coming out from Houston, They didn't light bonfire till about 8:30pm - 9pm. At around 7:30pm they started dowsing the wood in Diesel. When Burn Commenced, They turned off the lights, and the Gray Pots came and did some rounds about bonfire, then they lit the sheets, and then threw their torches, which missed Bonfire! Hahaha.. but it was awesome. Bonfire went up, then the flames died. We had a little yell practice, A Story, and "The Last Corps Trip" was read. The Stack sat there and smoldered, people left, and the Grays tired tirelessly to get the stack flaming again. Finally, they brought in more diesel, and this time, it burned ok, the outhouse went up in flames and fell over. Then the flames died again. HAHA. At about midnight only a few groups of people were left, and we had built mini bonfires to keep us warm from the cold. And the joke was... our bonfire was bigger than the stack. And we were confused which one "The Real Bonfire" Was. HAHAHA... Then, flashing lights, The Sherrif arrived... We're not quite sure if our Grays got slapped with the fine... I mean... Is there a fine for ATTEMPTED burning??? HAHAHA.
So They Had The fire truck attempt to put out our bonfire.
It took them 2 1/2 Fire Trucks *They Needed a re-fill of foam, plus a little bitty refiller truck came, hence the 1/2 fire truck*
AND WAS STILL SMOLDERING JUST AS MUCH AS IT WAS BEFORE!!!
HA!!! Lookit!!!
According to Tradition
We're Supposed to BTHO t.u.!!!
ESPECIALLY since... BONFIRE NEVER FELL!!! *MWAHAHAHA*
BONFIRE WAS AWESOME!!! Memories I will NEVER forget!
