Campfire Stories--bout the good ol days

I went camping last weekend over the mountains and in a beautiful SUNNY land called the Okanogan Highlands. My Aunt Erin and Uncle Joe were there.

Around the Campfire, we told stories about Erin and my Dad growing up. One of them was about Erin, Eric (my dad), and Kurt (my uncle). They had discovered this dead cow on their 10 acres that they lived on.

The Cow looked like an awesome way to spend their afternoons. So, everyday after school, they would meet at the cow. The gases inside the corpse had bloated, making it a sponge-like trampoline. They would jump on the cow, and each time, a huge snot bubble would emerge from the cow's nose. Maggots would also be expelled from the mouth of the corpse.

Kurt, Eric and Erin would have contests as to who could make the biggest snot bubble and to how many maggots shot out of the mouth. They had a great time until one day the cow had rotted completely.

That's just one of the things my aunt and uncles did for amusement back in the 70's.
