One time I did something cruel to a chicken. I threw a basketball at it.

This was this annoying chicken that was our neighbors back in waterford. It use to creep around our yard and would piss us off.

This is not on a farm house, this is in the city and these people used it as a pet.

It was just hilarious because of all the feathers that flew as well as all the noises it made. We hated those neighbors and they were total freaks. The landlord said that those chickens ruined the basement.

I remember my sophomore year in high school me and Lorne Deacon went out "Trick or Treating".  We were too old to be doing this but we wanted the candy and thought we would have a good time.  We thought we would be too old to get our candy stolen from us.

On Snowapple near Chris Shea's house we saw that there was a large group of hoodlums walking towards us.  We thought we would ignore them and walk by.  They surrounded us and demanded our candy.  It was pretty scary because I remember some of them had weapons and I remember one person carrying a blade.

We told them we would not give them our candy and when they insisted, Lorne said "No!" and ran away.  I was left alone with the hoodlums.  As they closed in on me, I thought for sure I was a goner.

But then, from out of the crowd, someone yelled, "Leave him alone, he listens to punk music!".  It was true, and never was I more thankful that I had been . . . Read More..

I went trick or treating with my dad, my brother and my cousins one year in my old neighborhood in Birdland.  After receiving candy from each person, we would thank them.
    dan10878, however would always say "Thank Lou".  He had a lisp or something at the time.
    Eventually, one of had to ask, "Who's Lou?"

I remember when I came home from our marching band trip to London after New Year's Day, 1994.  My parents picked me up at the airport.  I was glad to be back and see them again.  However, they had some bad news for me.  While I was in London, Whiskey (the family dog) died.  I was deeply saddened by this but he had been getting older his health was failing.  My parents cheered me up by taking me to the Summit Place Mall and buying me a Super Nintendo game.  It was Clayfighter.

I remember really liking the game and I was surprised by the intro music of the game which actually had voices singing; that was the first time I had heard that on a video game.

I didn't have to wait long to get a replacement for Whiskey.  A few months later we got a little black labrador for $35 and named him "Shemp".

Speaking of Halloween, When Kevin was still in diapers, we went over to his Grandma Dot's house and she gave him and Noel her Trick or Treat bags, with a full pack of doublemint gum in it. Kevin proceeded to chew and swallow the whole pack. The next day when I changed his diaper, it smelled like doublemint gum. Double your pleasure, double your fun, with doublemint, doublemint, doublemint gum!
