Every kid goes through a pyro phase right? And you know that if it involves something that you shouldn't o as a kid...me and Sean were all in. About the time that we found the anarchist's cookbook online ( I was in 7th grade and Sean in 5th) we had a lot of tricks up our sleeve.

We found this one entry about a liquid that burned hotter and longer than gasoline, it is called naepalm ( I botched the spelling there). So we added styrofoam to gasoline until it stopped dissolving and we had naepalm in an old can in the back of my dad's house.

we started by lighting small amounts and watching it burn until we accidentilly spilled the can of flammabile liquid all over the sidewalk.

This was no joke, next thing I knew there were flames on the sidewalk 10 feet tall! One of ran and grabbed the hose after the laughter dies down and we realized this was deep crap and the could catch on fire any minute. The water from the hose just seemed to spread the giant flames that were quickly out of . . . Read More..

Noel and his buddy Austin were over one day playing a micro machines video game. My buddy Jason Brogan and I decided to join in because it looked fun. I don't remember what the game consisted of but I know Jason was the bulldozer. He kept screaming about the douja, referring to the bulldozer. We thought it was the funniest thing, I guess you had to of been there.

I don't know what made me think of this, but I remember one time my dad took Kate and I to a tea party. On Saturday afternoons the library would have a lot of random events, and one happened to be the American Girl Tea Party. The American Girls were a collection of books for kids, and they were series of stories of different girls living in different time periods. For example, my favorite was always Samantha, who was a girl that lived in New York (I think) in the 1940's. Now they have an American Girl store in Chicago that sells clothing and dolls of the characters. I'm sure my parents would have had to shell out hundreds of dollars on that stuff for Christmas presents if it was around when we were little.

Anyway, Kate and I loved these books and really wanted to go to the party. I'm not sure why my mom couldn't go (I think she had to study for her finals--she went back to school) but my dad agreed to take us. So we got there, and he was the only guy in the room with all the . . . Read More..

I might need Dave and Lel's help on this one. We use to have this game for the NES back in the dizzay. I can't remember the name for the life of me but it came with this robot straight out of a 1950's sci-fi movie. The robot was hooked up to the controller somehow. I remember the robot would go through ellaborate movements just to hit the a or b button. It would drop these spinning discks onto some platform to hold the a or b button in. Once the discks stop spinning the button would be released. I can see now why there was only one game for this robot. Maybe it was ahead of its time or maybe it just sucked. Lel and Dave I need your feedback.

I am proud to say I'm writing the 300th memory on the hottest site on the web. Back in elementary I had this girlfriend. It's not like we made out or even went on dates. The extent of our relationship involved holding hands on the way in from recess. There was a group of us and we all had girlfriends that did the same thing. We made sure we were the last ones in from recess while we were holding hands, I guess we thought we were cool or something. I was pretty cool because I wore skids and cross colors(westside!).

Needless to say our relationship came to a tragic end. One day I decided to get away from the cross colors and skids in favor of a new t-shirt. The shirt read "My girlfriend or basketball?" and on the back of the tee it said"when do we play?" My girlfriend approached me and asked me if the shirt had any truth to it. I explained to her that it not only had truth to it, but it was my lifestyle. She broke up with me by having her friend give me a note.She had no . . . Read More..
