Funny how my brain just edited to save space. <br /><br />Lots and lots of alcohol, and boys and "joints" - so funny.

It had never occurred to me to look it up, but apparently the Parcae were the female personifications of Destiny AKA the Fates.<br /><br />Lofty imagery for a group of girls who would break into song, "Beer, beer for good old Parcae, break out the whiskey guzzle away (to the tune of the Notre Dave victory song) well you get the picture, as we sat in line at Naugles at 1am.<br /><br />Apparently "welfare clubs" were in place at Millikan as early as 1960 and they all had names that were historical/mythological in originan - socii, sabri, anu, zeus (pronounced zeee-us).<br /><br />Maybe they performed acts of welfare back in the day, but <br />we would have "joints" with boys clubs from Lakewood or Wilson which were basically 60 high school kids sucking down a keg, we'd do the annual mountain trip, all with no more adult supervision than the 18 year olds in the club.<br /><br />Clearly my parents had no idea what was going on which is a good thing. I can't imagine any of my friends letting their kids do that.<br /><br />All of that said - I love the symmetry of a Ceres girl from Lakewood H.S. - finding herself farming in NoDak communing with the Goddess of Agriculture.<br /><br />And I bet you can out drink most of the farmers up there.<br /><br />XOquirkychickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353130475402887985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28492900.post-46124298052602415022014-07-11T07:21:14.234-06:002014-07-11T07:21:14.234-06:00I loved this!!

Funny how fate will wrangle us to the ground when we're not looking. <br /><br />As for the living room, I would KILL for some simpatico company up here, girl.
