This video is of Aggie Bonfire 1988. The outhouse for this Bonfire was constructed by members of the BQ Class of '91, including yours truly. The uniqueness of this outhouse is that we put our signature on it, unbeknownst to the Red Pots who were in charge of building Bonfire. There had been a rivalry between these two groups for many years. We decided that this year, it wasn't just their Bonfire, we had something to do with it as well..! If they were not willing to give us credit in participating, well, we would just take it... And we did..! Here is the video proof..!
The four individuals who were chosen to construct the outhouse were; Jeff Shea, A-CO, Michael Percifield, B-CO, Ron Morrison, A-BATT, and Barry Brackebusch, B-BATT. We decided that we were going to build this outhouse to where it would last, because we had a surprise up our sleeve... We began construction under total secrecy in Scott Ridgeway's garage in Bryan. As the walls were going up, we took a 3/4 inch sheet of plywood, laid it across some saw horses and began to rout out a giant B.Q. on the back side of the board. We then filled the 2" wide by 5/8" deep channel with a mixture of saltpeter and sugar. then we covered it with duct tape and then multiple layers of paper mache, which hardened to feel like a solid wall.
When the flames reached the outhouse atop Bonfire, the paper mache ignited which instantly spread to the saltpeter mixture and quickly burned through the remaining 1/8 inch of plywood, revealing a giant brightly backlit BQ that could easily be seen by anyone who looked up... Needless to say, the Red Pots were slightly upset... No, actually, they were FREAKING PISSED..!!! But, it just goes to show, "Don't mess with BQs..!" It's just not worth it...
The following year for Elephant Walk for the Class of '90, the Red Pots thought that they would get even with us for putting our signature on the outhouse... So, they walked the entire Class of '90 across the Band Drill Field... Tune into my other video titled, "Bonfire 1989 - Revenge of the BQs" to see how this worked out for the Red Pots... Once again, they never learn...
