eww. Father, you remember way too clearly and way too much about being in Straight.  When I read some of your posts, I'm reminded of things I hadn't yet remembered and it creeps me out!  I totally forgot about "friendship letters" through chain of command.  How do you remember things soooo clearly!?!

Even your name!  I'd forgotten that damned song.

I think I know who ya are, Father Abraham! Matter of fact, I'm quite convinced... Seeing as that was the only song from that hellhole that allowed us to shake our bones in a somewhat happy fashion (and if I remember correctly, you actually got confronted once for appearing to enjoy it a little too much). I'm listening to "Ripple" as I type this.

I never made it past early 3rd phase, so I never experienced those 4th phase days off and all that... But that is creepy, hearing these tidbits like friendship letters and chain of command and all that stuff. Ewww....

Whups. Never mind. I had that wrong, "Father" was not the one in Boston replying to having their name listed.

Did I mention I feel like a schmuck for listing names?

Anyway - What is the first and most important rule? (insert Jeapordy music here)

Man, that is just weird. You seem to remember EVERYTHING about that place. Dude, let it go!

Wow... But while we're on the topic, can someone please grab me by the ass, lead me to the toilet and watch me poop?

How about "Back Doors?"

I always thought it was so dumb when people would list all the possible places they might/could go if they were to run. Once I was actually FORCED to do it because one of my ultra-butthead "oldcomers" (wasn't that about the stupidest word they could have come up with) raised a "concern" that I never had. So I wrote down some names of old acquaintances I knew I would never even want to connect with again. It worked.

Every time I'm driving at night and see a car with it's inside dome light on - I think - good for them - getting a head start writting their M.I's -

I STILL think that to this day!

It only takes a spark.......

Yikes is that spooky! I'd forgotten about those songs. Made me remember some others.

"I am straight hear me roar in numbers too big to ignore"

"Oh when the straights go marching in, Oh when the straights go marching in"

And lets not forget the deeply touching...

"We're a rainbow made of children, we're an army going strong"

I worried that I was going to be confronted every time we sang
that because I just couldn't get all choked up and cry

It should have been
"We're a cash cow made of children"

Is uniformity [of opinion] attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites.

How about

Exercise Rap

Executive Rap

No eye games

No reading

No playing off

Knock on all doors before entering

Splits, cop outs, and terminations

Anger is a secondary emotion

The three "R's" of anger-revenge retaliation and....?

Rational Self analysis-I specifically remember this little illustration
"Ralph sees a piece of cake. He thinks the cake looks delicious and wants to eat it. However if Ralph thinks the cake is full of worms he no longer wants to eat it. Ralph's thoughts determine his feelings about the piece of cake" There was even a drawing of a piece of cake with worms and a guy looking at it.

It should have gone like this
"Ralph sees a piece of cake. He thinks the cake looks delicious. Raph has been on the peanut butter & jelly diet for 26 days and is considering stabbing his oldcomer in the eye with his pen in order to get the piece of cake. Ralph thinks that even the cake with worms will be better than another stale, frozen chunk of bread imaginatively referred to as a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. "

This might have been just a Straight St Pete thing but anybody remember saturday night soup? It basically consisted of all the leftovers from the week thrown into tomato soup. It made absolutely no difference what the leftovers were, they were ALL thrown in. Mashed potatoes chili,green beans, hot dogs, peas, spaghetti-o's, fish soup, bologne, spam.

How about that chili with the thick layer of orange grease sitting on the surface. I used to put my napkin on it to let it soak up some of the grease.They had to seve that one with milk.

Sporks

Bust Ass Rap

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that
they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.

OK all you catz and freakettes, I've done read the last 6 pages in their entirety, still wondering why. FIRST- lemme say that the obvious freakin reason, man, that the names were put up in the first place is the same reason I came here, cause I was there, wanna see if I recognise anyone and if anyone recognises me. I never got a chance to REALLY talk to anyone in there, it was forbidden. Like, what kinda music ya dig? Hendrix? right on! My first instict seein this site, before I read this string, was, where is everybody? So even though I see all the points made, I find it hard to believe that our little stroll down memory lane is gonna affect anyone outside this forum, DNC or whatever. I'd say lets mention so n so, 'cause ya never know how ya just might hook up with them. The names were also simply a list, does anyone remember them? It wasn't derogatory, or anything. Christ!

Anyway, y'all just took me on a hardcore memory trip. 16 years and I've never met anyone who was also in there, then to stumble on this. I'll be 32 in Sept. so that was half my life ago. Every once in a while I'll be falling asleep and dream about what it would be like to go back in time, knowing what I know now. Right from the intake, telling everyone what was who. Yeah man, I point out every little flaw in their doctrine, wich is motivation by fear. All in all I get everyone in there to say "yeah, what the fuck, fuck this place". But basically I'd romantisise putting staff fuckers in their place.

I had nightmares for a couple years where I'd wake up having thought I was back in that place. 4 days short of a year in there and I never got off 1st phase. I think I was also the only person not to get restrained. When I got out, everyone said I was yellow, that beautiful flourescent tan I got in there! My Dad finally withdrew me, and I went to AA meetings and stayed sober for 8 1/2 years. Truth is, same reason I never advanced, is that I only smoked pot for 6 months prior to going in, and drank even less. Hell, I was 16! So when I turned 25 and got sick of all the AA gurus, and realizing I never had a problem in the first place, I did some field testing. Still just smoke a little herb, drink a little, but I never go out of my way for either. At 25 I had to figure out what kinda beer I liked! Life is good, and they said I'd die! And I believed it! LOL! Sorry I wrote a freakin book, dig you catz later...

"I am straight hear me roar in numbers too big to ignore" - LOL!!! - I completely forgot that song!

 :rofl:

LOL! - OH my God!!! - I remember singing that on front row of Open Meeting - Jeeeeesus!

Excersize rap - what a joke!

Executive rap - LOL! - What in the world was that all about?!?!?

Bust Ass Rap - LOL! - my personal favorite!

Rational Self Analysis - not just a St. Pete's thing - we had it in Stoughton (MA) also -

Equally was the horrible food - what was it about being a Straightling that the host families were required to have the WORST food ever!

By the way - I fell asleep with the TV on last night and need to report myself...
