No, NBC, we are not rednecks!
(i thought i had posted this a few days ago, but i guess it only posted as a draft. i apologize if i am mixed up and this actually did post)
There is a family that is very good friends with my family. We have, and still do, spend a lot of time together. Saturday happened to be the birthday of the mother of this other family-we'll call her Susy. Susy turned 49 and is probably the best/extreme Christian pyromaniac i know. Susy and her family live on a small acerage in the country and there is a garage on this acerage that is very old and falling apart. Susy has always wanted to get rid of (by burning, of course) this garage but her husband did not want to see it go. Susy has actually tried (slightly) to burn the garage down in the past but it never completely burned.
On Susy's 49th birthday she was going to get to burn down this garage. I went out there in the afternoon to witness this event. There we were (my family and there's) sitting on the porch beer in hand watching Susy put the final lighter to the diesel fuel in the garage...i'll admit it, we felt like rednecks and it was kinda fun.
All was well and we had hoses ready just in case because the house was over 50 feet away. Turns out 50 feet was not quite far enough. As Susy's daughter (a good friend of mine) was filming this momentous occasion and Susy's husband was watering off the house to keep it cool, a neighbor boy (also relation) walked over and commented on the vinal (sp?) siding that seemed to be melting off the house. Sure enough, part of the vinal siding was melting and curling up on the house. No on thought this would happen because we were standing b/w the fire and the siding and didn't think it was too hot for the siding...we were wrong:)
Up to this point the story is really not that interesting, crazy, or hardly worth telling...that changed. As the moment became a little more tense with siding starting to melt and a search for more hoses, three vans pull over on the road (gravel road of course) and about 12 people get with cameras. Not picture cameras though, this was a film crew! Turns out there is a new show called "three wishes" that is going to be on NBC. A town about a half hour away was their base for some of the "wishes" to be requested. One of the wishes came from a farm nearby that had a milking parlor burn down. Turns out this crew was filming at this farm for the show (i guess they are going to grant them a new milking parlor or something) and they saw the smoke (which was very visible:)
Talk about craziness. There is was with a my friend talking to the host of the show. It's some guy named Eric and he's famous i guess? The irony is that i do not think there has ever been a national TV film crew in our county before and here they show up in the country while we're burning down a garage...for fun! They asked why we didn't just take it down with a hammer and put it in a dumpster. Ha, not nearly as easy and not half as much fun!
I have to go to church now, but after all that we went inside to continue the birthday party as we at cake and ice cream:)
