Dear God, the yelling. Man, that was horrible, the way you guys went at it all the time. I'm surprised that I survived all that yelling. And I remember about the BLT's, and going to the movies to see Brad Pitt lick peanut butter outta the spoon..Stealing keychains and other such things from the Disney store come to mind also.
