Hey everybody,
We have chosen a name for our trailer. Actually we had the name from the beginning, but it requires the story behind it to make sense. The story is REALLY dark, so I hesitated to tell it. I have now checked with all involved parties, and they all agree it's ok to tell it. Some friends of ours started having marital troubles. The male half of the couple had always been a casual recreational drug user. He never did any of the hard stuff, and he was responsible about it, so we ignored it.
Well, it didn't stay that way. He got this crazy vaporizer machine to concentrate the pot smoke, and mixed it with double and triple doses of anti-depressants and alcohol. My wife, Laurie is a biologist, and she was saying that the mixture involved will do physical damage to the brain. To make a long and terrible story very short, he went violently nuts. His wife ended up having to take her children and run, first to an urgent care facility to have her injuries treated, then to a secure domestic violence shelter. Laurie and I provided transportation to get her out, and helped pay for an attorney for her.
Her soon-to-be ex-husband responded to this by calling the police and claiming that Laurie and I had kidnapped his wife and children because we were the leaders of a sex cult, and we were opening a child brothel. (You just can't make up this level of crazy.) The police in our town get an intake report from the domestic violence shelter every time a woman arrives there, so they KNEW where the woman and her children were, but they have to go through to motions when a complaint is filed anyhow. Two very amused cops showed up at our house and told us what had been alleged. Laurie invited them in to look around and see if there were any children present. The police declined. Then my inner smart-ass simply couldn't be contained any longer. I said "I admit it...I AM a Charles Manson-like cult leader, and I learned everything I know from hypno-toad on Futurama." The cops both cracked up, and told us to have a nice day. For that reason, our camper trailer is HYPNO-TOAD'S COMMAND POST.
