Heavy Burner's
Society
Milpitas
1980's
A self-professed, "Bullshit Club," evidenced by annual elections for club president (nickels counted as
one vote "for" pennies
one vote "against"). Votes were counted New Year's eve for that year, not the following year, and weren't done being counted until after midnight, so the elected official was never really President, but got bragging rights for the previous year. The
money helped pay for booze at the party.
Cards with a custom rubber stamp containing secret ID symbol's were printed for members to gain entry to parties (passed through the door jamb).
Each member had a nickname and "the Prez" had to approve these, but even though membership was rather exclusive, everyone who smoked dope in Milpitas in the early to
mid-80's either scored from one of the members or knew of the HBS.
Matt "The Prez,"

Rocky, the asshole who would inevitably yell and kick everyone out.
You could describe us as
white punks on dope, but this it is the only abreviation of HBS that can stand.
