She was a vegetarian. I mention that because, whenever she puked, she&#8217;d puke entire, intact broccoli florets. Had she been swallowing them whole? Why weren&#8217;t they breaking down in her stomach? Were they plastic? (I never investigated further.)<\/p>\n<p>2) I took the DNA Ancestry test just to prove to my wealthy northern neighbors that I didn&#8217;t have any minority blood. This was an actual sticking point with them, even though some of them are minorities. The results were announced, to a round of nods and approvals, at our HOA meeting. (They&#8217;re all Hillary supporters, by the way, so there&#8217;s that bubble burst.)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/apesuit-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"apesuit\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/apesuit-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/apesuit.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>3) I once dated a girl who collected the tops of wedding cakes. As in, she&#8217;d crash weddings and steal the top of the cake from the caterers. Her house was full of them. She wore a second hand bridesmaid dress when we fucked and refused to make eye contact with me at all times.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/italianspiderman.gif\" alt=\"italianspiderman\" width=\"250\" height=\"146\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3533\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4) I stole all the bibles at my Presbyterian college and hauled them up to the top of a fire tower deep in the WVA woods. The bibles came from all the public spaces in all the dorm room suites. There were 150 of them. They were never returned.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/obeyform17-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"obeyform17\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/obeyform17-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/obeyform17-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/obeyform17.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>5) I lived for an entire year at one of my jobs &#8211; a big rental venue in suburban DC. I didn&#8217;t tell anyone I was back in town. I ate leftover food and stole alcohol and haunted the place all night &#8211; doing laundry in the basement, showering in the CEO&#8217;s office, watching old videotapes on the AV equipment. During the day, I&#8217;d hide in crawlspaces, the attic, in abandoned offices, and on the roof and read books. I don&#8217;t really know why I did this.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jabba-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jabba\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3071\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jabba-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jabba-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Jabba.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>6) In the course of 21 years in catering I stole an average of six cars a year by posing as a valet. I took the cars on joyrides then returned them.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/scaryfgif.gif\" alt=\"scaryfgif\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3529\" \/><\/p>\n<p>7) At my catering job, if a customer left their cell phone lying around, I&#8217;d dial up sex lines and leave their phone hidden somewhere. Sometimes I&#8217;d just take the battery out and throw it in the toilet. Sometimes I texted everyone in their contact list and pit them against each other. Like if there was a &#8220;Stephanie&#8221; on the list, I&#8217;d pick the next person down and say &#8220;I love the way your lips feel on my balls, Steph.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>8) My lawyer and I are 99% convinced that mom&#8217;s mysterious fortune is actually the result of the fact that she was a key player in a drug cartel operating out of a local hospital. (That&#8217;s touched on in the memoir, but having that background nugget of redacted information makes the section in the memoir even more curious). <\/p>\n<p>9) My grandfather watched his war buddy murder a hooker in 1943 and helped hide the body somewhere near old Route 50 outside of West Union, WVA. He was strangely proud of this.<\/p>\n<p>10) I once dated a girl who demanded that I piss on her every morning in the shower. Her Dear John letter only listed one reason for the breakup &#8211; she disliked the flavor of my urine.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/greatsociety.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/voyager.gif\" alt=\"voyager\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3414\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top ten things I wish I had included in the stupid memoir about my evil family and my fucked up life after I had them all killed:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[397,127],"class_list":["post-4052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rants","tag-rants","tag-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4052"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4052\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4065,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4052\/revisions\/4065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greatsociety.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
