Escaping the B end

On the road

F ive mod-quad juniors, Bill, Norma, Jack, Jill (the one behind the map), and Dave (passed out in the trunk) attempt to escape the stifling atmosphere of South Bend in exchange for the freedom of the open road. Each member of the group is searching for their respective cultural mecca. The only problem is, they can’t agree on where to go, except for Dave. Dave’s only aspiration for spring break is to eat, drink, sleep...and drink some more. Bill dreams of venturing to Arizona to visit the Grand Canyon. He claims it his destiny to “hawk a loogee” into the deep chasm. Norma, the driver, disagrees with Bill’s plan, she yearns to return to her roots. Her mother grew up on a small farm on the plains of South Dakota. She argues it would be “lot's of fun" to go and help out on the farm. Jack protests by arguing that he is extremely allergic to all farm animals. “Especially those in South Dakota," he adds with a sneer. It has been his long time dream to visit Graceland and get “all shook up." Fortunately for the rest of the group, his desire to see the King was satisfied when he sees Elvis at a McDonald’s along route eighty. Jill claims that she is ambiguous as to where they go, just as long as everyone is happy. Little do the others realize that behind this sweet facade, there lies a selfish individual. She volunteered to read the map so that she could blindly lead her group to her home town of Florabama, roughly translated to “South Bend is a much better time." Her plan fell through though when she fell asleep two hours into the trip. The ill-fated group have not a clue as to where they are going. Despite the fact that their destination is unknown, they plan on making the most of the new found freedom. Maybe they will venture across the great plains for the city of Las Vegas to find their fortune, no matter where they decide to go, tourist traps and souvenirs hinder their way.

Wasting Away Again in Margaritaville

A fter frequenting the tan salon for the past two weeks, Heidi digs out her snazzy shorts and cut-off tops to head to the place where Mario from Tan-a-Lotta is not the only one peeping at her while she sunbathes. A place where the retro rocks and the beachfront rolls. And where a wet T-shirt, a pair of tighty-whities, or a “sexiest kiss” can award you a free drink. Ahh. Margaritaville. Heidi hopes that in Margaritaville she will “get some rays and meet a few cool guys.” What she fails to prepare herself for, however, are the pinches, perks, squeezes, hoots, freaks, fondles, feels, and other suggestive gestures she receives from guys in sleeveless tank tops and tiger-print speedos. But after thirty minutes on the beach, Heidi adjusts. Heidi gets excited about her first night in Margaritaville. She follows the neon-lights and techno music to a bar where she is stamped, braceleted, examined under neon-lights, and thrown onto the dance floor. After waiting 30 minutes at the bar, Heidi decides to have a seat. Three “ Sex on the Beaches,” two beers, one dance, and four Stammers later, Heidi realizes the utter high of visiting Margaritaville. She steals a lifeguard T-shirt off of her new best friend Pedro, slips in on, and dances to the Marcarena dance with five other John Travolta-imitators. After the bar clears out, Heidi and her new friends stumble down to the beach to watch the sunrise. As the breeze tickles her face and the tide rolls in, Heidi lays back to watch the show. In the distance she can hear the tunes of Jimmy Buffett. “Wasted away in Margaritaville. . . How I got here I haven’t a clue. . . “ Trapped in Paradise

B rrr! Kimberly and Pete decide to exchange the flat terrain of Indiana for the beautiful mountains and attempt to go skiing. Pete has a great deal of difficulty standing, while Kimberly seems to have no problem whatsoever. And whoever said that freshmen gym class was worthless. At any rate, Pete finds himself in another predicament. Visions of an avalanche pummeling his small body to pieces haunt his mind. Apparently Pete spends his free time watching too much of Day of Our Lives. He was crushed when Hope was lost in an avalanche, now he fears he may suffer a similar fate. It’s just a TV show, Pete. Kimberly pretends to ignore the fact that Pete is having a horrendous time and decides to concentrate on her skiing...and her ski instructor, Dolph. Dolph on the other hand does not even realize that Kimberly exists, for he only has eyes for the snow bunny Heidi. Kimberly, who in order to attract Dolph's attention proceeds to break world records in skiing and ends up being recruited by the national team. But much to her dismay, Kimberly can not attract Dolph, who is now intimated by her skiing ability. Poor Pete, he is left all alone to what he believes is his snowy grave. He entertains himself with a flask that he has hidden inside his snow suit. Finally he is rescued from certain demise by a group of Huskies. Kimberly and an angry Pete meet up later that night and decide that they forgot about the real reason why they ventured thousands of miles to ski country, the Lodge Bar. They eventually decide to warm up their thoughts with certain fermented beverages. Suddenly, Pete forgets about his nightmarish visions, and Kimberly forgets all about “what’s his name.”
