This is silly. So back in highschool we were bored one night and invented a clan called The Sleep Over Bandits (SOBs). Basically we would sneak on people's lawns around midnight, sleep, then leave at like 5 a.m. We would leave a note that read:
"We slept on your lawn and left before dawn
We don't mean no harm so don't be alarmed,
We're just the Sleep Over Bandits"
That was it. Once we had slept on your lawn you got to join us. Our club slowly grew and we had silly things happen like dogs chasing us or the sprinklers coming on. One time Bret Ashton caught us and started spraying us with the hose. So we swept the town, but we never hit our main target, our Seminary Teacher Brother Crane. His house was in Fayette, which was creepy, and it had lots of big scary trees and these dogs that always barked. We tried a couple of times but backed out.
Fast forward 8 years. I run into Denise Frandsen, a former SOB and my good friend. We start chatting and she decides that we need to finish what we started and hit Brother Cranes lawn. Somehow she convinced me and a week later at midnight we were sneaking onto his lawn. Let me remind you Denise is 30 years old and I have a child and am pregnant. Like I said, silly. We felt bad the other SOBs weren't there so we proxied them in by writing their names on a piece of paper and bringing it with us. We faked it a little bit because we just hung out on his lawn for a while, hung the note and left. I ran into Brother Crane later at church and he knew it was us. Luckily he didn't think we were too pathetic and thought it was funny. So there you have it, the SOBs.

I feel honored.
