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 couldn't even

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,

"Slam on the breaks, no wait
speed up, swerve, change lanes."
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.
