is there anyone else out there who remembers this?
unfortunately, i've forgotten all the names.
my memory only pulls up blurry outlines of the others.
i remember watching a Monty Python movie, but i'm not even sure which one.
it was purely a circumstantial designation.
prom night in a small town; a group of teens out for a walk.
lights, sirens and 5 police cars full of cops with guns aimed at us transformed us into something else.
VANDALS, according to the astute law enforcement team that had set up the blockade to catch us.
we knew that wasn't quite the right label though.
we didn't match the descriptions of the true culprits and were eventually allowed to go.
hopefully not a surprise to you, the reader (not yet, anyway).
we became DESPERADOS.
Des`per*a"do\, n.: a person urged by furious passions, and regardless of consequence; a wild ruffian.
it was just another description we didn't match.
at the time, i thought the title and the solidarity of our mistaken identity would tie us together forever. today, i can't even remember if i ever saw any of them again...
