1) Jerry asking me if I was a superhero what power would I have? I said flight, he said invisibility.
2) Steve F- a great quote, which I still use- "so mean he should be twirling his mustache and tying Lilian Gish to the railroad track,"
3) Steve O and me re-enacting the fight scenes from Rocky, spending hours trying to get the stomach punches and resulting lift off the ground and corresponding grunts just right. Also watching Ed Loss pretending he was Frank Sinatra and then doing his own fan reactions- "Oh, Frankie!" What a hoot.

Even better than Rocky were the countless Six Million Dollar Man fights on the front lawn where you had to fall down, or fly over Favola's front hedge, in slow motion.
We must have looked completely retarded to people driving by.
We eventually wore that hedge down to the point of walking through it. Nature was not safe in our hands.
SMDM was pefect for us Steve, since we both can lay claim to the name of "Steve" Austin. We would take turns. I remember also using my shed to jump off of.
Speaking of said shed. We threw things off it. Sent my Evil Knevil off it. Threw OURSELVES off it. Lit fires INSIDE it. Built shantytown forts attached to it.
Also,I remember we would start our bikes in front of Kentch's house, pick up speed, and ride it over the
ramp. If done properly, we would jettison off the bike, while it would bounce gymastic stye, until it crash landed into the shed. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even better than Rocky and SMDM, were the kitchen steakknife fights Steve and i would get into! Made a few people nervous.
Yes, everyone wanted to be Colonel Steve Austin; and every now and then I wanted to be Max Goldman (is that right?) and no one wanted to be Lindsay Wagner, unless of course it was for the final scene to the classic- Nighthawks- look out Wolfgar!
It always comes back to Nighthawks.
It was Oscar Goldman.
We have the technology....
Remember belonging to Ed loss's Firemen club. We would hang in his garage waiting for a fire. Listening to his scanner. He even made membership cards. I don't think we chased a single fire. Instead, he would pound on us for some stupid reason. In a revolt, i decided to burn my card on the backstreet to everyones shock. But then, i think, you guys quickly followed suit. Of course Ed L went through his "i'm gonna kick your ass" but can never catch us rant.
Now if we were chasing Wolfgar....
