I was born and raised on a farm and after the second world war... when I came home, my dad and step mother lived on a farm that belonged to Verdas folks out by Ortonville, MI. My dad was interested in buying his own farm, but land was too expensive. He ended up buying 160 acres for 3600 dollars in the upper peninsula of Michigan. To make a long story short, I had empathy for my dad... and I said, “maybe I will go farming”.

I was working with a friend (Neil Bradent) and he was looking at repossessed tax lands to buy up in the same area. I told him about my Dads property and the prices. The next summer I found out that he bought a farm up there. So I said to myself... “well hell if he can do it.... then I can do it”. That was before the Mackinac bridge was built (in 1954).

We decided we would move up there together as a caravan. I had an old dodge truck and he had a jeep. So we set off to make our fortune up north.

I?m going to leave out all the names in this one but it kind of funny. Something only 4 teenagers that are bored would do. Well to set the mood it was winter in Michigan. About 6 inches or more snow on the ground and the roads were covered in ice. A few of us wanted to get together and have a fest. A fest is a video game get together were we just played 4 player battle games for hours on end after school. Well one friend, who will remain nameless, wanted to stay home and make a snowman. Well we weren?t going to have any of that. So later that day we went over to his house and beat down his snowman with a bat.
The next day we went to school and bragged about how we demolished his snowman. He said that he built it back up already. This just pissed us off. So after school we rushed over to his house only to see his snowman standing there but it was turned to ice. He actually covered it with water. And it froze.
Rather than destroy it again we needed to really send him a . . . Read More..

This one time I was running down elizabeth lake road and I was running across the grass of the Chicken Shack fast food joint near KMart.

Suddenly I tripped and fell with my shin all bleeding.

Come to find out the Chicken Shack had a large metal stick blatently hanging out of the lawn there.

I complained in person to the manager, but got no point across. I was so angry.

Anyone who has been to my old room in Waterford has for sure seen these posters of Jenny McCarthy.

I kind of had a little crush on her when she did that dating show on MTV. She was pretty hot.

So I bought a poster of her in her Orange Bikini after she made a CD in 1995 or 1996 and recently I threw them away because there is no use for them anymore. I got the hottest woman in the world to marry me.

After workiing for the Palace for 4 years I've coom into contact with a lot of celebs and atheletes. They all are pretty much cool with everyone,except for one case in particular. I was working with a couple of my monkeys(these are the dudes that I worked with. They were called monkeys for many a reason which I can't go into because this story is about Prince) hauling a crap load of kegs. As we were passing through the loading dock area this man in a suit came running up to us. He was screaming saying that we had to get out of here. He didn't seem to care that we were hauling 12 barrels of beer(even though all prince fans drink Mike's hard lemonade). So this guy seemed important and we got out of the way. Imediatly after this limo comes hauling ass into the loading dock. I thought it might be Burt Reynolds or something, but it wasn't. It was Prince. Prince gets out and jumps on this golf cart real quick. Then about 5 bodyguards jump on the cart also like it was the freaking . . . Read More..
