I remember selling different things for like 50 cents to a dollar in elementary school. 

Two types of things that I can remember selling on the streets were bags of sugar.  But this was just just any kind of sugar.  It was laced with all kinds of kool-aid.  I guess you can call me the drug dealers at Burt or something.  I didnt sell much of it.  Mostly just ate it all by myself.

I also remember making guns out of construction paper and selling them to a few kids here and there.  They would be intertwined with rubber bands and would actually shoot stuff out.  I know for a fact I sold one of them for 2 dollars to bobby wright.  He pooped his pants in 5th grade and I had to sit next to him in the choir.  Good times, good times.

Does anyone ever remember giving prank phone calls?

I remember a few occasions where we would either call up random people or businesses and act like the guys from "The Jerky Boyz" album.

I used to have those tapes of the Jerky Boyz and thought they were great. I love the arabic guys voice among a bunch of other things.

We only pranked a few times and I cant for the life of me remember the exact circumstance that we put people through. It was pretty clean fun, nothing too bad was said.

I remember one incident where a buddy and I stood at the pay phone of Crary and made a prank phone call to Sam Berestine. He is a local lawyer who says to call 1800-CALL-SAM and is basically a hospital follower of people who he can sue to get money. Pretty much a scam artist most likely.

Well I scammed them when I talked about how I wanted to sue because of my hemeroids or something like that. I cant remember too many of the details.

Good times!

I don't know if you remember this or not Kev, but I never got to thank you for this and what better a time than now?
My father passed away and my mom didn't want me to go to the funeral home again... I wasn't handling it well. I don't remember exactly how it ended up, but my pal Kevin came over to my house instead of me having to go to the 3rd viewing. We had a great time. We played hide and seek, whoever was watching us made grilled cheese, and I taught Kevin how to roll up in a blanket like a cacoon, so we could see who could walk farther all bundled up. I'm pretty sure he won.
Anyway, it was just a good day in the midst of several very bad, and having a friend around to distract me for just that short time was very comforting and calming. Dispite all those silly people we become later in life I never did forget this random act of kindness. Thanks buuuddy!

When my younger brother Sean was a little kid he always likedto catch things outside. He was really big into catching bugs and turtles and frogs. Well I remember when he caught this huge bull frog back in the swamp behind the house about as big around as a basketball. To this day it is the biggest frog that I've seen. Well he holding the frog with two hands and showing it off to everyone "look what I caught!" Well all of a sudden the frog started to pee all over Sean's hands. "eeewwwww". I think that's when he let the frog go back to the swamp.
