So it only took 5 guys to move an armoire into my home. It is the perfect addition to our new living room. Now if Uncle lenny and Vito Sr. were here they would have had it up in 15 minutes but hey we cannot have a Barese moving party often, we must choose our times. When does the signal go out for the full move to Berea? I am a phone call away.....

First I must say that a mastandrea should never leavesthe house without a camera. We all know that we are somehow magnetic to all the bizarre occurences of the world and we must always share them.

This is a picture of the now infamous MeatPipe. It resides behind the foliage in front of the house. This is the pipe used to empty the septic system once a year. We lived in this house 5 years and were unaware of the impending inundation we were about to experience. I came home from work around 6pm and the house smelled foul. I looked at my dad and he just said" Yeah I know! and don't use the bathroom. Someone is coming to check it out." So i walk around the house and take note that the 3 showers are filling from the drains with brown mud that is awful smelling. The toilets are all to to the brim with brown water. My mom is running around the house with a gallon of bleach attempting to sanitize the bowls of shit. So I walk outside because i know thaere has to be a relesae valve or something. Outside is better than inside right? So i find this pipe and i slowly take off the cover. What you see is what began to bubble out. A steady stream of paper and other unmentionables. It oozed over and began creeping across the lawn like the blob approaching its next victim. I realize this is not good and try to replace it but that was a joke. Ever try to put a sprayer on a hose thats running? Nasty. I go back inside to tell my dad what mess i just created and my mom is doing a dance that the shit is going down. I try not to say much but i bring Merle over to the window and shine a flashlight on the lawn. Looking out she trys to focus on what it is. So i say meatballs, they are all over the lawn. She stares at me than out the window. So i say... not so much going down as going out. Its all over the lawn. Merle got all twisted and was wretching. My dad was pissed off. Mom was happy. He would rather we suffer and no one finds out than us create a health hazard and be able to sleep tonight. So i promised john i would tell that story when i found this picture.

Does any one need this picture?



Oh yeah. Ellie if you like that water slide check out Wet and Wild in Orlando. They have something called Der Stuka. Its excellent. Even uncle joe tried it.
