Back in the good old days, Bubba´s lieutenants had standing orders to rope in the hottest babes for the personal enjoyment of the kingpin himself.  Sal was the acknowledged head of the "poaching posse", to call it by a nicer name, but we all cooperated in it just by letting it happen, and even encouraging it.  We knew what Bubba wanted.  One summer, we hit on a real gold mine.  Miss September was going to be joining the community within the next few weeks , and the word was out.  This was exciting news. We couldn´t wait.

It was perfectly obvious to all of us what was going to happen when she got here.  Bubba had always taken what he wanted.  No one else was entitled to a trophy like this but him, in our minds, and surely, in his.   I found out by talking to Craig Lesser that he was "on point" to make sure Miss September got to Bubba right away when she arrived down in San Francisco.  It was all set up.   Bubba had always taken his fair share of fresh meat when it came in, and it was pretty much an accepted occurrence.  So this was just going to be a replay of what we had already seen over and over with other women who were ripped off by Bubba from the guys they joined with.

Lesser delivered the goods, and Bubba was just thrilled.  That night at Bubba´s house, Sal, Craig and Bubba got these kids just wasted out of their minds.  Bubba would just gaze at September (Julie) and nod his head in encouragement when she huffed in big hits off some really killer skunk weed.  No doubt he thought it was a good idea for her to be loosened up.  Jack Daniels flowed. Sal and Lesser were bringing the drinks one after another.  I watched in amusement.  This chick was totally hot, and she just loved all the attention.  These kids, who couldn´t have been out of their teens, had now become thoroughly trashed. Mark got pretty sick about this time.

After awhile, Sal and a couple of other guys hauled Mark out of the house and sent him away outside so Bubba could make his move.  We all knew it was coming.  Julie was being showered with attention by Bubba and everyone else in the room.  We never had anyone so glamorous there before.  Bubba turned on the charm.  It was all too perfect.

Meanwhile, Mark kept coming back into the house.  He didn´t seem to get the message that they wanted him out of the way.  Bubba had Sal take Mark out.  He came back again, and they made him leave again. This went on a number of times.  I don´t think Mark had any idea what was going on.  Finally, they just made him stay out.  The magic started to happen with Bubba and September.  She was pretty spacy, but just gorgeous, young and ripe for the pickin´.

The other wives knew what was coming, and they actually charmed her too.  However, I don´t think Bubba quite pulled it off with her that first night.

The next night at Bubba´s they got the kids super wasted again, and this time they just bounced Mark out after a few hours.  Bubba moved in for the kill, and that night he closed the deal with his biggest prize of all, the Bunny.  The rest, as they say, is history.

A few days later the beaming couple went off on a whirlwind honeymoon, I think to Palm Springs, but I don´t remember.

Mark was around for a couple of days at the property, shadowed every minute by Lesser.   We were all wondering how he would take it.  He looked like he had been hit by a truck, all dazed and confused.  Lesser said Mark was cool about everything, and that he promised Lesser not to tell his family or anyone on the outside about what happened. He was committed to Bubba and willing to be tested in any way that was required.

We all accepted that Bubba´s acquisition of this hot new property was a truly auspicious event of great cosmic significance, naturally.  It was a sign we were really going to be incarnating out into the world.  

Meanwhile, we continued to smoke those big fat doobies and consider our enlightenment.  Towards the end of that period, I think Bubba got scared things were too far out of control.  Sal was getting too powerful and weird stuff was going on in the households.   He eventually shut everything down and made people go straight (i.e. no more partying).  He moved to Hawaii and kicked out Sal.  With Sal gone, the poaching posse was never the same, but don´t think for a minute it ceased to exist.
