New Year's Resolution
For several years now I've had a growing desire to create a record of the events that took place in my life between roughly August of 1993 and June of 1994...basically, my sophomore year of college. It occured to me over the years since that most of my best stories, the tales I tell again and again and my favorite life stories to tell come from that time. So, I'm endeavoring to begin the process of writing them down at the rate of no fewer than ONCE A WEEK, and perhaps even attempt to publish them at some point.
Some of the stories included will be...
The Mystery of the Disappearing Shower Curtain
The Power Bar/Ball
Fire Alarm?
The Flying Carpet
The Barrel of Cans
Moving Beds
The Potato Gun
Fun With A Super Soaker
The Laundry Detergent
Cinder Blocks
Astros
Fire Alarm? (part 2)
Butts Up
The Designated Driver
I'm Late For Work
Fun With A Super Soaker (part 2)
The Pledge Class/Tales of a Student Alcoholic
Pizza in the Shower
The Salad
Going To The Airport
The Broken Nose
Cinder Blocks (part 2)
The Heater is Broken
The Phone Call
The Stop Sign
The Door
The Legend of 'Muffin'
and of course...
The Gong Show!
For those of you in the know, I humbly ask your input and will be contacting you to verify the facts...stay tuned!

sorry about the verification word...I have one story about D-Tran "Laundry Detergent" and another that involves him "Pizza in the Shower" but there are several more I could dip into if necessary...the posters on his wall, his showering 3-5 times daily, his recalling a time he tried to piss his pants while driving and couldn't...it goes on and on...
oh! and I forgot about the time we fashioned a power bar to resemble a dog turd and threw it on the walkway behind the basket at Allen Fieldhouse...
"the day the tran threatened to kill me"

whatever help you need to bring this to life, count me in.
don't forget these beauties:
"beavis and butts up" (to be more specific)
and "wrinkle-free equals chick-magnet"
I knew this would happen...I'd open this box and all new stories would come flooding back...Cade, I'd love to get your take on the whole 'wrinkle-free' thing as my memory is a little fuzzy...
Long live Dave Tran!@!
there probably is no specific story other than to say you LOVED your hagar wrinkle-free pants. and they were the centerpiece to a conversation i barely remember revolving around the one and only date you went on with my friend from high school.
something along the lines of the pants being "irresistable" or whatever. needless to say, the date was doomed.
yes, it's coming back to me now, I seem to remember being 'smitten' as Jim Pfieffer put it...and I recall donning those wrinkle-free pants to ask FOR the date, but failed to wear them ON the date...that was my downfall...that and the cheesy pick-up line...yeah, that story won't be making the cut I'm afraid...
