CALL THE OFFICE WITH ANY OUESTION& 8984488 Spring What some by Sara Prosser News Editor This is the story of how my roommate and I escaped death numerous times, on our journey for life, fun and the pursuit of a good time. It was March 3, 1996 and the day had finally arrived; it was spring break. EmiHie and I piled all of our necessities; swimsuits, tanning lotion, and 30 pairs of shoes into the car and headed South. Al/ appeared to be well, until we reached Pittsburgh. Emillie noticed that the mile markers on the road were going up instead of down. She said, "Are those numbers right? Weren't they going the other way just a minute ago?" Me, who was in charge of the map (our first big mistake) said, "No, we are right. I don't know what's up with those numbers." So we continued, unsuspecting. We continued to drive for a good 30 minutes until we saw a sign that said 70 East. "70 East, what the hell are we doing on 70 East?" proclaimed Em. We were headed straight for the Atlantic ocean, and we probably would have reached it if we hadn't seen that sign. This little mishap should have clued us in to the fact that or trip was doomed.

We ass going to partake in beverages am , „ 10 - SUNDAY SPRING BREAK break or bust: people will do for a little sun make it out of our own state without getting lost. How were we ever going to make it to Florida. Although this problem, caused by a faulty nap of course, set us back a good hour, but we were determined to carry on. The rest of our driving was pretty uneventful, that is until we reached Jacksonville Florida. This is when our first near death experience occurred. NDE #1 - Emillie and I were pretty wired by the time we reached the boarder of Florida. This might have had something with the case and a half of Mountain Dew, and the gazillion cups of coffee that we consumed, not to mention that we cleaned out every candy vending machine from Pittsburgh to Florida. We were driving along peacefully, when I spotted a car lingering beside ours. I looked over and saw some psycho , perverted guy holding up a sign that said "flasher." At first I thought that it might have been a caffeine hallucination, but I quickly realized that this was no figment of my imagination. We weren't sure whether he was going to flash us or if he wanted us to get naked. Either way, this guy had some serious mental problems. I thought that maybe it was some sick beginning to some weird drive by, and I started to freak out. I screamed at Em, i • 4•61.1te5, TO' • Students, groups, faculty and staff may submit nominations to the Provosts Office by March 14, 1997.

Nothing could shake this guy. he was like Tom Cruise in "Days of Thunder. . Em's keen driving skills must have thrown him off for a minute and he started to get off on the exit (no pun intended). When he finally realized that we were not exiting, he swerved back onto the highway, running another woman off the road. This made me wonder, "has anyone ever taken him up on his offer?" Did he think that I was actually going to say, "Right on dude, let me show you my boobs." I don't think so. Anyway, psycho guy must have gotten tired from all of the foreplay, and decided to let us live. Near death experience #1 survived. NDE #2 - We made it to our destination, Gainsville Florida, unscathed. We were staying with one of Em's friends from high school, Bob. Bob had to work during the day so we decided to go to lunch by ourselves. While we were waiting in line at "Quincy's" we noticed a group of "strange looking" guys staring and pointing at us. After I made sure that my skirt wasn't tucked into my underwear, or I didn't have toilet paper stuck on my shoe, I figured that they must have been scoping us out. They followed us to our table and helped themselves to a chair. The one guy smiled a big toothy grin, and displayed a mouthful of gold teeth. We are talking 24 carat gold baby. Em and I were just staring at each other in amazement when Tupac, the leader, mumbled something. We couldn't understand him, and had to ask him to repeat himself several times. He must have gotten frustrated with our inability to understand mumbo jumbo, and screamed out, "Da ya guys smoke marijuana?" We quickly yelped no and waited for the drug police to come and take - us away, but no such,luck. For the next ,IS minutes, Kool and the Gang cross examined us. They wanted to know what are names were, where we were staying, and what our phone numbers were. So of course we had to tell them. We explained that our names were Thelma and Louise, we were staying at the Bates Motel, and our phone number was 867-5309. They seemed happy with our response and left us alone. Near death experience #2 survived. NDE #3 - A few days later we all decided that it would be fun to go and spot some gators. While and the Provosts Office Thursday, March 6, 1997 The Behrend College Collegian - Page 3 in a park known for its gators, we discovered a little baby alligator. We moved in closer to get a better look. When we were about 10 feet away Bob yells, "Stop right there guys, don't move." For a minute, I thought that the gang members had followed us to the park and wanted to feed us to the gators, but it was something much worse. There are two things that I am scared of most in this world; snakes, and Lyle Lovetts's hair, and I can tell you that Lyle wasn't standing there serenading me. Bob pointed down to the ground, and a few feet away were two rattle snakes curled up on a rock. I just stood there frozen, unable to move. Emillie had to grab my arm and practically dragged me back to the car. I wondered if it was possible for snakes to crawl up in the car through the exhaust pipe? Luckily, no snakes hitched a ride, and we survived our third near death experience. NDE #4 - Now I'm not sure if this qualifiesf as a near death experience or not, but it was still pretty freaky. One night, we were all sitting around talking, and Bob just happens to let it slip out that his apartment complex is where one of the Gainseville murders took place a few years back. If you aren't familiar with these serial murders, you are probably lucky. In one of the murders, which occurred a few doors down involved a decapitation. The murderer left the head on the bookshelf so the roommate would find it. People actually live in that apartment now, and I heard that they get a rent break. That is so sick, I would not be able to sleep there. Needless to say, I slept with one eye open for the rest of our stay, and we survived our fourth near death experience . Now I know that this must sound like the spring break from hell, but it was a small price to pay for some fun in the sun. I will be leaving tonight for Panama City, and I hope that ,I make it there and back without too many mishaps. And if Kool and the Gang can hear me, polish up those pearly golds cause here we come.
