Hi. I'm back from the dance...it ROCKED!!! psyche

That was a FAB way to end my night--lots and lots of giggles (one tear #49) !!!!

No one cracks me up like my family--it is SOOO fun to hear what everyone remembers.

And for the record, our room NEVER stunk!

P.S. Natalie is still telling jokes--it's a LONG phase.

VEGAS VIC said...

Everybody's comments have been real fun to read. Kelley did a good job witht he blog update. Can't wait to see all the bluebells. Wish I could have seen the canoe roll-over accident. NOT!!

jill said...

John, something is definitely wrong with your sense of smell. Trust me with my canine nose I would have smelled if something was amiss in our bedroom. Your room on the other room smelled like hell, I had to hold my nose everytime I went in there.

Other than that, I don't remember our fight with the Michael Jackson record but I'm sure it happened.

Ahhh the memories!

Jayne Layne said...

That was fun! Like everyone else, I love reading these!

Exactly how old were you when you thought the plane would by hi-jacked?? That was funny.

Also, Jenn please look at your wedding pics.... That was when Mom was still doing his hair every day with her black and white Paul Mitchell brush. Trust me I used to watch them every morning before school, trying to get it just right :)

ok, so i am laughing out loud because i totally remember that gay guy that lived next door and didn't you say that you saw him shaving the dog one day, and he was holding the dog's "you know what"?

and totally agree, joaquin and reese are better than the original.

and yes, i did yell keuken up in my head. my dad still says that on occasion.

the cooperfive said...

Well done, John. Blakca? Are you serious? Why not Ryu? Or some girl from teh cover of a Greenday album?

The Phoenix Suns game. I imagine somewhere at Jeff and Kenna's place there is still a videotape lying around of the game we went to with you, me and Jeff on live TV during the pledge. I had no idea how bad your buck teeth were until I watched that video years later.

Speaking of Michael Jackson records, I think the Bobby Brown cassette I dubbed for you deserves some mention here. How can you forget the hand drawn case sleeve of Bobby B. I custom drew just for you?

Still can't put down the Pepsi crack pipe?

Coops said...

Johnny Boy,
I have that video from the Sun's game. I need to post it on YouTube. Jer Bear is right about the buck teeth, but I shouldn't be talking. I had the black hard rimmed glasses and looked like Paul from the Wonder Years.

Hey Johnny... thanks for bringing up the blond from highschool. Can't we all just forget her. You wish she was your cousin instead of me, right?

I do love you. Just the names alone make me smile. Why can't we just be kids again!?! We could all go to an Attaboy Skip gig in someones backyard and jump on the tramp. Then we could go to the park and get frisked for being a badass neighborhood gang. We could go bowling, watch a movie at the Coop's, go dance at the Huntridge, eat a late meal at Macayo's...the list is endless.

Do I really have to do the questions? I hate blogging....it is way more fun to read all of yours. My brain doesn't like to have to work so hard!

Hi Cooper boys! Miss your cute faces!!

The Anthony Family said...

Doug wanted me to clarify that he never went to Sadie's with the "blond girl". It was with the class president when he was a junior.

And he thinks that was a cool shirt... from the outlet malls.

That was the funniest conversation!!

team howey said...

Johnny, or is it John these days, you don't think that I check?

You brought back some memories with that list:

"You're going to get coal for Christmas" and "Will you get the ruler off the ceiling"

As for the tag, I am going to do that immediate tag back because I am not allowed to blog yet.
