So when I was about 16 there lived in real old grumpy fart about a mile down the road who my family always had problems with. Now on our family property we all live in a line of houses that stretched about 1/2 Mile. My aunt and uncle's house was to our left my grandmother and grandfather's house was to our right, and farther on that was my Grandma's sister and her husband and then my grandma's other sister and her husband. This grumpy old man owned roughly 600 acres that butted up against ours. He wanted to turn his 600 acres into a landfill and was pursuing permits and approval from the county. Naturally nobody wants to live on the edge of a landfill so my family opposed it. This created some pretty bad blood between their family and ours. My grandmother's sister and husband who lived on the far end of the property got it the worst. This old man sold a sliver of land to someone on the condition that they would clear the trees and move in a shity old trailer beside my great aunt and uncle's house. When you look out there back door over on the side of the property was this shity trailer.
Now this old fart had a really nice house set up on a hill with a beautiful sloping green grass hill facing the road. One night a buddy and I got liquored up and drove down there with a case of Castrol motor oil. We then proceeded to write "I Suck Dicks" in about eight foot tall block letters on the side of that Hill. After about a week in that hot Mississippi Sun you could see it clear as day.
Over on the river we had this company that built oil rigs, a buddy's dad worked over there and had somehow stumbled on to a 50 gallon drum of environmentally safe cleaning detergent. The old man had this five acre catfish and bass pond right off the road a little bit with one of those big airator fountains in it. Well I can tell you that a 50 gallon drum with a hole busted in the top and rolled off in a 5 acre pond ain't to environmentally friendly to fish. Unfortunately it must have had some type of defoaming agent because it didn't make the gigantic five-acre pike of bubbles we had hoped.
This man also had a big old custom wrought iron mailbox out by the road. Like I said my buddies dad worked down at the local plant building oil rigs and had him a big Chevy truck with a welder on the back. Surprisingly it only takes less than 30 seconds to roll up and weld a mailbox shut.
There were quite a few other things that were piddly like cutting the water hose in half etc.
I can tell you all this because, well I got arrested for it, even had to go to court. Ended up it all got thrown out because of a "violation of my rights." Seems I was never read my rights when the sheriff's deputy arrested me, I therefore told them things I shouldn't have without representation. The judge dismissed it with prejudice.
Small world though. The sitting judge happened to be really good friends with my great uncle. My great uncle being the county judge i guess that tends to happen. As for that sheriffs deputy who forgot to read me my rights, well he was my great uncled son. Not many people can say they got arrested by their cousin and their great uncle had to recuse himself from the courtroom as judge. Lol.
