Calling all Prospect Place/Court and Sunrise Avenuers!

This is an attempt to connect with people from long, long, ago. Perhaps the connection will last one simple paragraph, never to be heard from again, or reignite to last a lifetime. Who knows. I just think it would be fun to catch up with people that share so many fond memories from childhood and beyond. Some of us already do still keep in touch. While some might be content to keep the past in the past. Either way. Lets see what happens.

New Memory-Snow 1976?

Does anyone remember?
We were out playing after a big snowstorm- we were up somewhere on Merrick Road at a house that was slated for being torn down- one of those big old LI houses. We were playing "The Thing" in the snow (Kurt Russell), and Steve O was pretending he was locked out of the Ice Station, and kicking at the door, over and over; and then out of no where some guy answers the door? And we all ran like crazy! Scared. Remember that anyone? Thenhoue was supposed to be abandoned? Remember that?

Maybe we weren't playing The Thing, but I remember Steve acting out something from a movie when he was kicking the door.

Maybe it was The Shining.

I don't recall playing The Thing. I thought it was just our usual Breaking & Entering job. Typical afternoon affair around that time. But boy i will never forget THAT GUY! What the hell was THAT GUY doing in there? THAT GUY was one freakin angry guy. The one thing about that i remember is, when he opened the door and started to scream "what the hell is going on out here!", i sat there stunned, my leg just frozen in the air! I think it was my third attempt. We scattered through the snow like lab mice.

I seem to Remember he called to us as we were walking through the parking lot. I think you, dennis, said to him we didn't think anyone was home(living in that dump!)

He looked like James Brolin?????

It wasn't snowing that day, but it was pretty damn funny. First Favola's phone, then that guy. I'm noticing a trend.

Wait there is more- Steve O, back me up here- didn't he say something? Wasn't it "GOUT!" in a bizarre voice. I remember going around for weeks after that and saying- GOUT all the time.

StullyO said...

No, "Gout" wasn't that guy. I don't think anyway. "Gout" was the old man standing behind the fence at the thrift shop. We were in the backyard of that white house next to Friendly's. Nothing much back there of interest. But we start to hear a voice, but can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Then we see this old man, his head barely visible above the fence line. He just keeps saying the same thing..."G-out...Gonna call cops...G-out...gonna call cops...G-out!"

Apparently as we get older, we need to reserve oxygen by combining two words into one.

Steve, it wasn't snowing, but i remember snow on the ground. Perhaps by the time we're 60, it would have taken place at night, we DID kick the door open, and pricess Leia fed us grapes as we try to impress her with our Patrick Swayze hair.

Later that guy took on a job on the hit show "home improvement", Wilson.
