whenever mom couldn't get us out of bed, she'd just have to say what kind of cereal she had bought the day before, then we'd get up. there was strawberry shortcake, cabbage patch kids, crunchy stars, smurfberry crunch, oj's ("move em out!"), and of course circus fun cereal.

"pilsbury quick bug quick bug quick bug, pilsbury quick bug quick bug quick"

nital: "just because, andrew, just because!" or, opening a gift from her birthday party... "i hate it!"

anyone remember going to the space needle and merle jumping off the elevator to get some fudge? or how we'd eat figurines, chocolate slim fast bars and that crappy chocolate aerosol spray? or all those cobwebbed flower pots in our side yard at the belmont house? mike, do you remember going to some summer program... don't know if it was a church or what... but there were foosball tables, games, and we would play capture the flag? or putting a hose down the slide on the swingset, or better yet, along garbage bags lined with bricks on our lawn!
