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".

When I would go over my Aunt Patz's house, every single time I would leave I would ask for a glass of water with crushed ice.  We never had a sweet fridge like they had and it loved chewing on the crushed ice.

Apparently my grandpa Renne loved chewing ice as well and I still love chewing on ice to this day.

Now whenever I go over there, I do it just for fun.

I also remember one time lellel gave my brother and I all of his garbage pail kids to me and my brother for nothing.  He just didnt want them anymore.  When we were at the door... I am sure I was drinking crushed ice water.  My mom made us give them back to him.  I am sure he is happy that he got them back.

This one time at Noels house, we were out on the porch trading Garbage Pail Kids and this rare card fell into his Deck in between the boards. We attempted to get it out but there was no luck in doing so.

One time my cousins dog Schemp was really horny and he went around humping blankets and pillows and stuff all around the house.

It was soo funny.... that dog kicks ass.
