Before there was fear factor on TV and before reality TV was even around.  You have our family.

In 1998, our family started a new gift giving tradition that some people call "White Elephant".  Its basically a pool of gifts and each person draws a number.  The first person chooses a gift and is stuck with it, but the next person may steal their gift or pick another.  The last person is in the best position.

Most of the gifts this year were pretty decent.  Barb, (Christmas Boss) just by chance got a couple of really crappy gifts and joke gifts.  One of which was some S.P.A.M and some pickled pigs feet.

Well after that I think my brother and my Uncle Dennis talked about how he would eat them for money.

This soon turned into all of the Brat Patrol (Me, Noel , Kevin , and Dan ) wanting a bunch of money to eat the pickled pigs feet.

I am sure some people really eat these things, but they stink like formaldahyde and vinegar or . . . Read More..

This one time I was hanging out with my family on vacation at my grandma Renne's house and my dad wanted to cook dinner.

He was rummaging around in the fridge trying to find ingredients and he came across a 15 or 20 year old lime juice in my grandma's fridge.

We cracked up so bad at this. Grandma still deny's just how old it really was.

One time in our AP Biology class, our teacher Mr. Mandley had us discect a cat.

I am sure this is nothing new to most high schoolers and I guess this is a common memory among people going through school.

But I guess I will just explain some of the things I remember just for my own documentation of what went on.

We all gathered in groups of 4.  My group was Millicent , Jessika , and I cant even remember the 4th person that was in our group now.  I think it was another guy.  He was kind of in one of those other clicks if I can remember right.  He even used to play this Neo Geo handheld a bit in class.

Anyway, we got our corpse of a cat and we named him Quequog.  (After the character in moby dick).  Our cat wasnt just any old cat.  This fucker had the most obscure and large organs as well as skin that is as tough as a pigskin football.

We first had to skin the fur off of it and that I can recall took an entire class period.

The rest is just . . . Read More..

Before Kirt and I got married, everyone where I worked brought thier presents to work instead of to the wedding. One day I received a toaster oven, one day I received some steak knives and one day I received a fondue pot. Well on that particular day, we had a huge snow storm. I had to leave work early. It took me almost two hours just to get through the intersection at Long Lake Road and Woodward Avenue. I was almost back to our apartment in Waterford and had to pee so bad. The roads were horrible and I thought if I tried to stop somewhere I would get stuck in the snow. I contemplated wadding up my coat between my legs and peeing on it. (it was a lovely lime green velveteen double breasted coat I might add) and didn't like that idea. So, eureka, I thought, the fondue pot. You must imagine the traffic is going amout one mile an hour. I reached around and got my new wedding present and opened it, put it under my lap, and proceeded to have the most . . . Read More..

A while back, I was playing Call of Duty 2 online with some friends. It was Jenni, Killer7, and I all just talking and playing. At one point Killer7 told me of a a trick he played on a noob.

So, he was online playing COD2 when this one person joins. Of coarse it was one of the people that have to check if their microphone works every time they join a game. He the noob asks "Can you guys hear me?"

Killer7, just being himself, says "No we cant." After that there was a small pause followed by the noob asking "How about now?"

This continued on for about half and hour until the noob finally figured out that they had to hear him to answer the way he was. When I first heard this story and could do nothing but laugh for about 5 minutes.

Not to long after that, Jenni and Killer7 left. But I had an awesome game without them! 107 score and 47 deaths! I was the best one there.
